This is the dumbest thread on TGF, but it's funnier than the Official Original LOL I Found a Meme and Peed My Pants Funny Picture thread has been in some time.

Looks like Ozzy and Caitlyn Jenner had a kid and it grew up to be Joe Walsh.

That does look kind of like Walsh.

Dunno about anyone else, but I've got like 4 posts over a two month period in The Other Place thread,

Bro....

Maybe because I'm tired of wading through absolute constant nonsensical drek, posted as the *gospel* by rank amateurs, without any humility or respect for the community at large.

TGF reminds me of TGP back when the signal-to-noise ratio was "workable" (other than the P&W PRS noodlers), I certainly hope & pray TGF never turns into the 24/7 circle jerk that *other* formerly great sites like Harmony Central et al. once were, before the Social Media Disease became a terminal phenom & poisoned the well.

There are a lot of *great* players here, plus a lot of *core* technological competency ~ Tolerating turds in the punch bowl is a zero sum attitude.

Yeah, seems to be the general trend on T.O.P., especially post-COVID when otherwise involved bedroom players/producers got infected with G*A*S*

But, I first noticed the online gear "experts" emerging 25+ years ago on Harmony Central ~ In fact, there's one right now voluminously posting in the Kemper thread.

He's one of the old school "experts" & actually posts short clips of "tests" he wants to share (always some simple classic rock type rhythm -0- drums or bass), so he actually contributes "something" with his quest to know all things "digitally" toan related.

Based upon accidentally reading some of his musings, he must also spend a *lot* of time reading, researching & cataloging info...

In the PC world it's called techno lust, based upon his opinings he's got it in spades ~ I'd bet good money he's also voluminously posting over @ T.O.P. simultaneously, as was his MO with HC before it lost all the

But these "experts" that spam threads RE: gear they've never touched, many never IRL even playing @ volume with a band, some never even played at all, that's a new, new trend

VS-TGP doesn't care if you play guitar, he doesn't/can't, they just want contributors that create "content" to drive website "metrics", doesn't even have to be guitar/music related!

You should request VSadmin remove your ban & reinstate you, heck they might even make you a mod so you enforce the new, new rulez...

Meanwhile, on TGP...

Having stayed away from T.O.P. now for over a month (after it being a daily part of my life for 20+ years), one of the major benefits is *not* having to experience the *political* garbage that's taken over that place the last 5+ years.

The moronic political dolts over there have have proven to me the movie Idiocracy was actually a documentary...

Seems you've been around a lot longer than your last TGP handle would indicate (2021), what was/were you user names back in the old days?

View attachment 45700

I don't know if that was directed at me, but I posted *tons* of clips on TGP regarding gear I was discussing, haven't posted anything here, yet, but there's a link to some of my older work in my profile.

Once I became disgusted with direction of TGP, I deleted most of my "contributions" like a lot of old timers did, before ED-TGP limited removing posts to six months

I'm currently rebuilding my studio after a move, will start posting clips once it's fully operational, but I have always kept my opinions to myself unless I have *real* life experience related to the discussion...

Moreover, I have *never* criticized anyone's clips/songs that they've "contributed" (even when they were unlistenable), but I have -0- tolerance and/or respect for chatty kathys that post *opinions* & other bull$hit (shills/fanboies suck the most), when they lack IRL credentials.

But hey, you do you

I spend less & less time online, but when I do it would be great if their was at least muso forum that learned from *some* of the errors we have lived through over the last 30 years.

I have high hopes for this "community", have learned, experienced & enjoyed much already (only had to "ignore" a few to separate the wheat-from-the-chaff), looking forward to growing with TGF as I reactivate my studio & begin experiments with chasing sonic nirvana.

Well, if someone is "positing" something regarding a piece of gear or some other music/guitar playing topic, it would be great if they weren't bull$hitting on the thread, to appease some personal affliction, so that those of us actually was trying to learn, appreciate and/or contribute to the discussion wouldn't have to smell their stank.

Never said posting clips to support verbage was a "requirement" ~ I was implying that some people are *clearly* talking out of their arses & should stop spamming serious threads with their social media disease.

I think everyone knows what I meant, except those so deluded that they believe their own lies & believe their farts don't stink...

Textbook sophistry.

It's all part of the No Shame, Anything Goes contingent, that has grown like a cancer everywhere online, not just on muso forums.

I'm presently revisiting the role of forums in my life ( I don't do social meda), to divine what appropriate changes need to be made, which only happened a couple of times from 2010-2020, but over the last couple of years seems to have become an almost monthly task...

IRL Ability.

We got WILDLY different perspectives on the number 4. This was just over 2-3 days and I skipped some.

Bro....

We got WILDLY different perspectives on the number 4. This was just over 2-3 days and I skipped some.

The "4 posts" were specifically regarding my post count about A-Bone.

I don't even know the gofundme reference (A-Bone) outside of you and 2 or 3 other dudes posting multiple times about here every day.

Dunno about anyone else, but I've got like 4 posts over a two month period in The Other Place thread (about A-Bone), mostly because he's indicative (A-Bone) of everything wrong with TGP...

Hope that clarifies things

Yes, I got wild posting in T.O.P. thread, but you might have noticed I stopped posting in there (after the "incident"), other than a non-T.O.P. topic.

I'm really done with T.O.P. crap, have no interest in "venting", but the OP triggered a T.O.P. flashback (there have been several others' I ignored), hopefully my *point* was made, but it clearly fell on deaf ears...

If you want this place to churn & burn, like T.O.P. did/does, that's your choice & I'll respect it

All the best,

Gary

There was a guy on Ireland's ads trying to sell this guitar for €999 a few months ago.

Ibanez RGD71ALMS-BAM

7-String Electric Guitar Nyatoh body (Palaquium rotratum), Panga Panga/Walnut neck (Millettia stuhlmannii), Bolt-on neck attachment, Macassar ebony fretboard (Diospyros celebica), White offset Step fretboard inlays, Nitro Wizard-7 neck profile, 24...

www.thomann.de

Wow! Inflation I guess. This guitar was €995 then.

Anyway I offered him 2/3rds the price, €666. I'd no intention buying it, and predictably he said too low. And I replied, 'Well I'm not paying 999 for a guitar I can buy on Thomann for 4 quid less and have it delivered to my door.'

I just wanted to hang him. Lol.
