I once saw my drummer disappear after a show with a chick whom I only saw from the back (and she looked fine). After I got through wrapping up my gear etc... I ran in back to the storage room of the club we were playing to get empty road cases. Sure enough there they are, with her giving him a hummer! I did a quick "Whoops, sorry!" and she looks up (and turns out to be one of the nastiest biker-hags I've ever seen) and says in a way-too-many-cigarette voice "Nummy in my tummy!" (To this day, and this happened at least 15 years ago, I can still hear her saying this). I ran outta there laughing my ass off and promptly told the rest of the band. Few minutes later they come out trying to make it look like nothing went on, except for the Lewinsky-approved stain she was sportin' on the front of her shirt......... Ahhhh good times indeed......

Usually if I plan on getting a piece of gear and want to research it, I check the HC user review section (the home of the infamous Rip Glitter). May have to wade through a few "teh unit suxxors" and such, but for the most part they're written by people who paid to use the equip., not people who are paid to write about the equip., and are therefore a little more honest in their reviews.

Originally posted by Anderton I was also asked about qualifications we look for in pro reviewers by Warped666 but deleted his post accidentally (yes, I know, always double-check before hitting return. Hey, I'm tired). Here they are: * Knowledge about the product category for the product being reviewed * Journalism experience (published articles/books), particularly with respect to product reviews of musical gear * Forum moderation or administration experience * Ability to generate accompanying sound clips and images, and eventually, video examples in the appropriate formats * Knowledge of data compression protocols for the above All sounds like pushing MF/GC to us.
