  1. Ok...I have no idea why I responded to these like a complete raging asshole. Sorry about that. I'm looking at my responses now and thinking, "What the fuck was I so mad about?" BUT....... I saw this interview snippet with EVH and it reminded me of this... because I think he's talking about what I was trying to describe. Point I was trying to make then (with a heaping mound of unwarranted assholeishness)... and I think what Ed's talking about here... is that direct into the amp, high gain sound, every time a finger on your left hand brushes the wrong string, every failure to palm mute, is going to make an absolute mess of whatever you're trying to play. For me in particular, since I'm used to playing bass clef strings that need a lot more effort to play, and even on my acoustic guitar with its broad neck, my tendency in the left hand on the electric guitar is to smack around the other strings when I play. My hands are trained to pull-off and hammer-on with every note rather violently (taught explicitly to do so by cello teachers - the string doesn't speak fast enough without it) ... and that doesn't work at all on a narrow-necked electric at high gain. As for my right hand, palm muting is an entirely new technique I'm having to learn. Doesn't matter so much on a clean channel; critical at metal gain levels so that you don't end up recording slop.
  2. Top notch shit, @sidis and @Goredho.
  3. Labrador retrievers are better than golden retrievers
  4. what I'm getting from this is Sydney appeals to the sort of guy who married a white chick what I don't grasp is if that's because of the similarity, or the contrast
  5. dude, half of recruiting is convincing kids with poor judgment to make the right decision just because a guy has bad judgment doesn't mean he's bad at football
  6. I mean ... that's what shrimp do. They're bottom feeders. Eating what everything else poops out.
  7. It's funny and great ... best of all time? Naw man. Vicki Lawrence's incensed response to Tim Conway is the greatest of all time. The first third is the dress rehearsal. Then Conway *changed* the story for the actual recording, which is the rest of the video. Lawrence is the only one who maintains character during because she's pissed off at him... and plotting revenge.
  8. Tell me you've never been to Lubbock without telling me you've never been to Lubbock, Dan.
  9. 1. Enough others have him on ignore that he's effectively insulated from the crowdsourcing he deserves. 2. I've been on the Internet since '91. I've seen some major drama queens. I've BEEN a drama queen. Hell, I was on a board with Derek Smart. But this guy beats em all. 3. Constantly trolls #2. 4. Fatass scam artist $9.95er who has his own damn message board and needs to fucking stay there. And many others who aren't even worth mentioning. Life is too short to read their posts OR play guessing games about them.
  10. Thing is Craftsman is still around, and some of their stuff is still made in the USA. I've seen it at Ace Hardware, for example.
  11. OG Radio Shack when they were in every town and actually sold electronic components, before they became a glorified mobile phone reseller.
