Thought of the day by Misha

[FuzzyAce]

Especially if it’s an actual Boss brand board.

I still have an old one.

 

[BahamaDada]

As a teen (and even now a bit) I dreamt of a board with only Boss pedals.

Why? Well, first Boss had ALL the pedals. There are virtually no "gaps" when it comes to effect variety. Everything from lightest OD to Metal Dirt and various Delays to Mod stuff. Second I am a big sucker for "aEsTheTics". I just like fitting stuff and boxes. So I always thought "Someday, when I acquired a few moneys, I buy one of those Boss pedalboards (you know, the knows with pre-fitting holes) and make a all-in-one-board!".

Well... I have a "only Line 6" board. It's a Helix and a G30 wireless. I guess Misha looks down on me... And that makes me... well, see for yourself:

Probably not wrong, but *trigger warning: wet blanket*


man that dude is a tool (I was a huge bulb and earlier periphery fan back in the day). Big doucher IRL and his online persona along with his rabid fanboy cult drives me nuts

He’s the new gen metal/business savvy guy, I guess.
I find him cringy with all the Holdsworth references and name dropping he does.

But Periphery are one of the pioneers of the multiple streams of revenue thing.. seems like he is at the forefront of it.

I once had an all ‘80s MIJ Boss board that was pretty awesome

Have you met him in person? I'm not saying this in a snarky way, just generally curious lol

Yeah hung out with him briefly when a friends band was opening for them years back. Was a disappointing off putting vibe lol

Maybe was just a bad day! Maybe I'm too optimistic! Lol

This. All of this. I remember listening to the crazy shit he was doing in the Petrucci forums back in the day, and it was awesome. Now he’s just a rich tool pretending to have to struggle as a musician.

Eh. I like Misha and Periphery. I have his sig Strat, which is fantastic. I don't give two shits about how he is personally or whether or not he's rich. I'm never gonna meet him and don't have to live with him.

 

[Hapless]

That’s fine. You don’t have to admire the person to enjoy the products, music, etc.

I can still think he’s douchey though.

I mean...you're not wrong...

 

[norminal]

I dunno man… I reckon there are much bigger chooches in the music industry.

 

[Allexi]

I do still listen to Periphery too. But though I liked their old demos more, when Casey(?) was their singer.

Oh I think his demos where cool enough at that time. I like those a lot. But when I listened to the Icarus Live with vocals (or what was the name?) it was a first nail to their coffin.

 

[JiveTurkey]

I'm weird. I'm a fan of pioneers who write good songs. I know that isn't near as necessary in this day and age though

Sounds like it’s not working out for him.

I’m sure there’s a more nuanced reasoning for saying that, but you gotta love the headlines.

He should go back to Radio Shack then. I’d gladly take over his current position. What a pussy.

If you read the article, he's talking about the time before they had their own label. The headline is a little misleading.

Except Boss.

Especially if it’s an actual Boss brand board.

Mission accepted!

It was actually originally intended to only have Boss Waza pedals, but Boss don't make a Waza reverb!

Nice one.

That's exactly where the TB-2W belongs: on a board, being played.

I mean, Misha's not wrong . . .
