Members knockwood Posted September 14, 2009 Members Share Posted September 14, 2009 you may run into a guy like Knockwood and get shot in the face. West SoiiiiiiiiiDe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seagullplayer77 Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 I think you came across a bit strong, Dark. I can see where you're coming from, but it sounds like you might've gotten up on the wrong side of the bed that morning :poke:.I wasn't there and I didn't see it, so I'm not going to pass judgment, but he complimented your playing, so he probably respected you as a musician. And perhaps the whole "wasting your time with an acoustic" thing was a sardonic joke? Some people have weird senses of humor . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knockwood Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 Yes, it sounds to me like the guy was only kidding in a good-natured kind of way, and you reacted like a bit of a lunatic. But I would have shot him in the face anyway, just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, besides he may have been a zombie. A clean head shot is the only solution for a zombie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guildfire Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 Two scenarios:Scenario #1:Wanker Kid: "Why are you wasting your time playing acoustic?"You: "Why don't you shut your mouth until you have something intelligent to say?" You pick up the Taylor and smash it over his head, and he pulls out a gun and shoots you. Scenario #2:Wanker Kid: "Why are you wasting your time playing acoustic?"You: "I play both really. I just like guitars. What kind do you have? Don't you ever play acoustic? You ought to try it!"Pick the one that makes the most sense. Scenario #1, but not with a Taylor. Maybe a lammie Yammie would work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rhancox Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 I actually find the response to be just as annoying as the question. Who cares which is better? That's like arguing about whether the beach is better than the mountains. The story sounds more like it's about two knuckle-draggers than it does about two guitar players.

Members Cardinal49 Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 I would have shot him in the face with a gun and then stood over him shouting "Who's the bitch now? WHO'S THE BITCH NOW???" and then I would have picked up the acoustic again and strummed a bit of "All You Need Is Love." Then maybe a stroll down the street for some ice cream. HAAA! I think you might have come across pretty harsh. It was probably good natured chatter. Maybe he was happy to come across someone who actually knew how to play.

Members corduroyhorn Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 i hear that alot, i just say i like to play something with a nice tone that i dont need a ton of pedals and an amp.. then if they annoy me still, i say they should play an acoustic because the thicker strings will build some strength in their hands etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Opa John Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 I think the remark by the metal head AND the response from the acoustic player were both totally out of line. Quite frankly, I'm even more inclined to believe that the whole story is a complete and utter fabrication dreamed up by someone's "Walter Mitty" mind.

Members SkippyX Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 If he's dumb enough to ask that question then he'll be too dumb to understand why we love the acoustic guitar. This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reckless78 Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 If it were you, you'd punch me for not taking your crap? Yes, that sounds like a very smart thing to do. I don't believe he was giving you crap. He gave you a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pascal Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 As far as I'm concerned, playing the electric may sound different, but it's just as much of a waste of time as playing the acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
