The Show Your Work Thread

Riiight. In other "work" (hobby?) related news - interviewed Dug Pinnick about the KXM release yesterday. Very cool dude.


So STFU, Socky.



Off to day 3.

Nope. It's not socky. Unless he somehow got him one of those Star Trek teleportation devices.

No shit. He's been known to have conversations with previous aliases. Hell, even giving himself "happy endings"...

Details details !!!

Disclaimer: NOT BRAGGING (bitches). I have some very, very cool friends.

Quick synopsis? Wasn't gonna go Wednesday, but ended up picking up a couple of friends at LAX and taking them to Anaheim. What are friends for, right? So anyway, chilling in the Hilton lobby getting our badges, and Adam from FU-Tone hands me a pass to the VIP Fender event "Wanna go meet Ed? He's hanging with Matt (Bruck) at Fender upstairs." Uh, sure!

Ed was awesome. It was nice to meet him and it not be from behind the counter at music store, just "Hey, how ya doin'?". Such a nice guy, but he's always been nice to me.

Too funny, I run into Matt and Adam next day, Matt says "You're on VHND!" Yes, heard about and saw all the 'shops that ensued - who could've seen that coming.

Hey Droomer, your band rips man!!!

And good onya J, I'm glad you had a blast at NAMM. it's been great seeing all the pics and reading all the updates. Well done!

This is what has always cracked me up about message boards. And since this is really the only one, other than a smattering of posts on a couple of others over the years here and there, that I've ever posted at, perhaps things are different elsewhere.

But how can everyone ever be happy? At no time prior to me being modded here 10 years ago by that wackjob Pojo, was it all harmony and sunshine here. There were flame wars, assholes, site bickerings, and "cliques"

Seems to me, much like the US Congress, nothing ever gets fixed, or improves, just another bunch of idiots and drunks take over for a few years, raping and pillaging until they're voted out of office and replaced with different drunks and idiots.

Von and Sesh want it run their way now. Cool. Fine by me.

But unless they want to ban me for laughing and baiting for grins and giggles, I say more power to them.



Nothing in this thread has shocked me, OTHER than Sesh's personal info post, and pub-bragging. Seriously.

"Meet the Old Boss".......

A website where everyone gets along is a dead website. Unless you have a constant flow of actual information people are interested in, you need drama to keep people interested. You need fights, BULLSHIT (my area of expertise), and pushing everything to the point of the web master getting thrown in jail. Trolls are especially important. What's killing the internet more than anything is trolls don't get their due respect.

Great stuff!

It's nice to see Ed sober at NAAM. In the past he used to show up at these NAAM things really messed up and was pretty much a disappointment. I can say every EVH product I have bought has been totally reliable. I've had zero problems. You might pay a little more for the name but the stuff is quality. We were in a building when the power went off. I have the EVH Phase 90 with the really bright LED indicator lamp. I just plugged a patch cable into it and used the thing as a flashlight. It worked great for that. LOL! I guess Ed wanted the light on his brighter so he could see it was on under stage lighting.

[Seshmeister]

Yeah I picked up an EVH Wolfgang Special last year super cheap and it's a really nice guitar.

Plus I'm probably going to buy an EVH 50W head in the next few weeks because I like the idea of carrying it in taxi cabs to gigs where I can just plug it into their backline and still drink.

Throughout all the years of Eddie really pissing people off to be fair his endorsed music gear has been good.

My fave was: "hey, c-dog, don't let the bastards get you down"....talking to his own alias

Watching it unfold via your FB posts, and then getting your messages was great. Had the pic up on the pub desktop all weekend. "Yep, that's my friend with eddie"



Great work, man

A website where everyone gets along is a dead website.

Healthy debate with agreements or disagreements based on interesting and knowledgable exchanges doesn't always have to lead to people not getting along, though. I don't sign up to message boards intent on watching people spout vitriol at one another, much less, dive into the fray myself, which I usually regret doing within seconds after doing so. If the element of hatred and negativity were gone from here, or at least, greatly diminished, I'd say this place would be in better shape than it is right n... at this moment.

I think part of the problem was without Hagar and or his fans to rail against they started to fight with each other.

Thanks. 103 pics uploaded, not quite done yet. It was a blast, the whole week. Oh, and btw, the VH tribute band "Hot for Teacher" was playing in the Hilton's lobby last night... singer ain't Ralph, but come pretty close to nailing DLR too... pretty killer until they started with the Van Hagar shit.
