Members Vintage55 Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 Based on what I've seen of Jack Black in the past and my estimation of what kind of ego he seems to have, if it was JB, he would make sure everyone knew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveAronow Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 Ah. so I see it has NOT been settled after all. I always thought it was a close voice but NOT J.B. I hear things in the voice that are different. I have a slight knack for vocal impersonations. I always have. Used to drive my friends and family nuts with it. Point is, I am good at it because I have a wierd ability to dial in on very minor details in peoples voices and inflections and I can hear things, actually ALOT of things in this guy's voice that convince me it is NOT Jack Black. I could be wrong. There is a first for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members axegrinder Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 NOT Jack Black. It has been settled and the OP is ill-informed. I am sure the demos are good though...gearmandude does a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DARKMETL/ Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I asked my wife to tell me who it sounded like before I told her and she immediately said Jack Black...so who knows. Seems weird he would waste his time on stuff like this. I vote "NOT" JB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheBlueStrat Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 IS him. if you disagree I'll {censored}ing kill you Lawl. It's so blatantly obvious this isn't Jack Black. First, Jack Black totally suck at guitar, he would not be able to noodle like that. Jack Black = power chords. Second, Jack Black's voice is kind of somewhat beefier, deeper than this guy's voice. It's subtle but distinguishable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I've actually had an email conversation with the guy. He says he's not Jack Black, and I believe him. He gave me a web address like 2 years ago, but I can't find it. It was his personal page, with a photo, boots and all.. not Jack Black, but he is a very cool guy. I did invite him to come to HC, but as far as I know, he never showed up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metallica_00 Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I wish he was a better player, but I think his demos are decent. He does tweak knobs and play around a bit. Glad he demo'd those pedals though. Saves me some cash. Yeah, beggars can't be choosers. But since he's limited stylistically, alot of times he doesn't demo a pedal in the style its meant to be played. For example, the Zendrive mostly appeals to fusion type players trying to get the Dumble sound, not hammering out southern rock licks, so it's not a very helpful test. Proguitarshop generally does a pretty good job...especially their more recent demos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evlttwin Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 That sounds more like Christian Slater than Jack Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Game2K Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I also thought it was Jack Black the first time I heard him. But after doing some research, I found evidence suggesting he isn't Mr Black. Take a look at the following video. You can clearly see a mole on his middle finger on his right hand at the 1:48 mark. [YOUTUBE]qlrErdBDaoM[/YOUTUBE] Now take a look at Black's hands in this picture. Mole there is not. It would have been cool if it was him though.

Members cratz2 Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I dig his reviews and I'll very likely order one of his Time Bomb Boosts sometime this year, but it's absolutely NOT Jack Black. I think he kinda likes that folks think he might be Jack Black, so he doesn't respond to such questions, but it's 100% not him. He owns a vintage shop and/or trades in vintage gear. There's a video of about 5 or 6 vintage guys talking about the state of vintage gear. He's on it, his name's there and everything... sounds just like him, but doesn't look anything like him. They just both play guitar, both wear boots and they sound strikingly alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proguitarshop generally does a pretty good job...especially their more recent demos. I agree, but Proguitarshop is trying to sell pedals. Jack Black... I mean, gearmanndude is just a vintage guitar seller demoing pedals because he loves playing with all his pedals. Personally, I really like his reviews. My take is he's dead nuts honest and points out things that you can't hear in the clips. I'd say he's one of the two or three best resources for pedal junkies though like you, my tastes and playing are very dissimilar to his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lump Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I liked the greenie and brownie with single coils. Greenie was ok with the SG, but thought the brownie was a little muffled with the SG. I wish he'd have done the tube model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
