  1. But the metal scene elitism thing is just beyond silly.

     

    No doubt.

     

    Some of the posts above read like a wine critique.

     

    Music, especially rock/metal, ain't classical-architecture or the discovery of fire.....It's all just dorks making racket. All of it.

     

    Get over yourselves.

    Naw, not my style to tattle. Sorry. But, at the time, I was looking for the 'terms and conditions' page, and couldn't find it to post a link in that thread.

    These last few rounds of 'enforcement' are a little discouraging though.

    Oh {censored}!

     

    sorry dude. That is discouraging. And it was box-in-box?

     

    Are these carriers TRYING to destroy everyones amp? :confused:

    One of the horrendous things about the GC/Diezel deal is the fact that countless message boards will now be littered with people that spent 2 minutes at quiet volumes and $500 credit limits that want to bash it and claim how their "X" amp smoked it.



    Didn't read the whole thread... but I echo this sentiment.

    I played a Herbert at GC. I thought it was cool. I wasn't $4K impressed, but I didn't live with the amp either. 10 minutes with a foriegn guitar doesn't make me an expert on the amp.

    I think it's interesting that lots of folks do the same thing with Mesas and especially Vettas and make horrible claims about those amps, and everybody loves to jump on those bandwagons and dog them.

    Why I Gave Up Groupies


    It's the 70's.


    We're staying in the bass player's converted school bus. We're playing a week in Groton Ct over Christmas. I'm kind of a shy guy. We're playing the first set. Break, and the bass player - who lives locally - introduces me to a dark haired beauty. Talk, drink, set 2. Break, I take her outside for some smoke. 3rd and 4th sets we cook. We're breaking down afterwards, and I don't have a car. She offers to drive me home. I didn't care, and she proceeds to give me a Quaalude. We go outside, she throws me the keys, which, of course, I drop in the snow.


    I drive. I run a red light. I crash into another car (Who is actually driving at 3am in Groton in the cold? I hit the one person that was out.) She gets out and talks to the people. Then she drives me to her apartment.


    I know we did lots of things, judging by how I felt (and smelled) in the morning. I open my eyes. There's an infant in the bed. It looks at her, says "Mommy". It looks at me and says "Daddy". What at buzzkill. I'm feelin real bad now. She drives me back to the bus.


    Night 2. I'm not doing very well. I just want to crawl into my sleeping bag on the bus. We get back to the bus after the gig. I crawl into my sleeping bag. There's another girl in there, and she's not listening to "I'm tired". I pass out after she's finished with me.


    The rest of the week I got passed back and forth between these two, who luckily didn't know about each other (I didn't do too much talking that week.)


    I get back to Boston. It hurts to pee. Go to Mass General. Get a shot. Tell my girlfriend I've got a problem. She dumps me. The band breaks up. I'm done with this scene for 20 years.

     

    Great story. But..... why did you give up groupies??? confused.gif
  5. To me, a groupie is the chick who will drive 4 hours to come see a show, even when she has to work the next day.


    All the other stuff can be filed under BandSlut, which may or may not be the same chick.


    If you have a chick that chases a particular band member around, and leaves everyone else alone, that's another breed entirely. Damaged usually.
