Somebody needs to start a band with the guy that said hitting drums hard makes them "sound like ass".

Name one genre where recording good guitar tracks doesn't require a good amp working at peak performance while being played well. Name one legendary guitarist or guitar track done without any "amp contribution".
Are we counting digital amps here as well?
There are lots of legendary guitarists that play and record with them nowadays and not all of them send them into cabs and mic it. There is a lot of DI-ing.
What I was trying to say before he kicked of the abuse. Some need amps and volume, other's don't. No idea why this winds him up? Most people understand.
There always has been. There's a lot of autotune and drum programs too. That doesn't mean it's good. A lot of you embrace this new technology as a new standard. You accept that recording music without actually making a sound is a good thing. It's so cool! It isn't. It's a cheap facsimile of the old standard for the lazy and/or ignorant. Spin it however you need to. All I'm saying is real amps make better guitar tracks. If you want to track killer guitar tracks, then use an amp, turn it up, play your part well. If you think that's wrong, what can I say? High-fives all around for the ignorant.
Bang!!!! Zoom!!!!!!Because the points you made are empty, moot, and frankly, just stupid. I don't accept and celebrate your half assed mediocrity.

Maybe.
I just question why literal multi-millionaires choose to use these things then despite having used the very best and exclusive tube amps their entire life and having at least twenty roadies doing their bidding. I wouldn't consider these guys ignorant or half assed.
Neither money, space or hassle are an argument here. All that's left is sound.
I'm sure Greg doesn't need me to step in for him, but until he responds.....My God you change your stance like a politician! You even change things to suit - you asked who plays without amps, and once people give you a few, you change your tack, and end up saying that Clapton's current sound isn't what anyone want (apart from him of course). How can you make points against questions that change. So you have gone from nobody does it, to nobody does it who's sound you don't like?
More nonsensical bullshit from you. I don't know what Clapton uses. I just used his name as an example. That's not changing tack, that's me trying to make sense of your kind of idiocy.My God you change your stance like a politician!

They're not compulsory, they're just better than the lesser alternatives. You can fuck a vagina, or your hand. I'll choose vagina, you use your hand. It's cool. If you want to record shit, there are plenty of non-amp ways for you to do it. Knock yourself out.We don't actually have any shortcomings that influence us at all. We are not saying you HAVE play without amps, we're just saying that they are NOT compulsory - at any level from beginner to seasoned named professional players.
I couldn't care less what you or anyone else thinks of "my state". I've said nothing that's non-factual, so arguing with me about it makes you the questionable one here. I'm bad tempered when stupid people say stupid things. It's a natural reaction.Not much point trying to open closed minds - you are happy with your opinion, why does it have to be the only one? I also wonder why you have to be so horrible and bad tempered? Ranting because you think I'm wrong just make people wonder about your state?
He's been doing that all through the thread. A few "most people...." when he's really only speaking for himself and nobody else. "Most people" can see through that shit.@rob: don't "we" me into your post.
Nobody is lying to you, Greg.
I'm not saying that they're better, I'm saying that they can definitely hold their own and there might be a reason why a lot of tone fetishists have started using them.
I don't think any of us can deny an LP into a Marshall (my two favorite guitarists, Slash and early Zakk Wylde, have been rocking that for almost thirty years now) but digital can do some pretty cool stuff.

I can't find it now, but someone posted something a few days ago, of this session player who has played with just about everyone from Michael Jackson to whoever else. The hoops this guy goes through just to mic his amp in his studio are insane. He runs his guitar cable all the way to his basement where his amps are, then the mic cables back up to his studio, etc....I'm sure he can use sims, but he prefers to mic those amps and finds the "hassle" well worth it.
