My last couple comments....
Personally, I am in a similar boat as Lt. bob.. I don't really come here to learn (and excuse me if I sound like I am getting up on a pedistal). However, I am sure that I do learn tricks. ...(as my [samicide]ebow work is getting better everyday!!). Rather, I come to listen to home-spun music and see how my comments compare to the comments of others. Kinda like a measuring stick to see if I am in the ballpark on what I am REALLY hearing. And...to a lesser degree, maybe some help might come from my end...but I don't bank too much on that. But, as far as putting a mic in front of a gtr, I've been doing that for over 30 years. Adittionally, the [cyber] friendships that I have made are just as fun too.
I realize my recordings still have a long way to go, and I don't really care if people like Slackmaster think my music sounds like some crap Miami Vice stuff. That just shows me he has never listened to my other tunes..."Destinations, Spanish Nights... DRstink(my stupid parady stuff), Yellow Brick Road", the stuff I have down added to Erland's music, my bsabbath remake , etc, etc. And that's just the stuff posted at nowhere. Certainly not the entirety of what I have recorded over the last 30 years. And besides, I'd also ask Slack to find better talant in a person over the likes of Jan Hamer too. Personally, I LIKE the music on Miami Vice and think it pretty much STILL kicks some booty as far a GOOD music. But that's MY opinion and obviously not the opinion of many others. (excuse me on dwelling/defending my music, as I feel that Slack basically was in the comment catagory of "YOU SUCK" and had no basis to back up his statements. I had made a challenge to "cut heads" FOR FUN, and he basically said my music sucks... his opinion, that's fine, BUT a very lame response with NO MEAT).. at least I don't just say you suck without reasons....so..comments from basically a pretty lame ass "moderator"...if that is what he really is.
moving on...
BUT.... this isn't the first time Harris has "flown off the edge" in what I would call a massive verbal attack directed toward me, and initiated by him..or at least in a situation that he had no part of originally. Like someone who just butts into a conversation and feels like "telling you off." I have come to feel that I should just igore people like him, just like the trolls (and notice you don't see my posts in the TROLLS threads..I DON"T respond..the best method of making them leave..and I am talking about Father time, DJfingazz...people like that. THIS situation excluded). I have plenty of cyber friends in people like Trackrat, Samicide, slucie, marcoumb, crawdad, lt bob....and MANY more that create GOOD stuff that I like to listen too. I've become more choosy in who I will respond to...especially if they don't reciprocate. As it is, for my 3000+ posts...most in the clinic, I only seem to average 15 or so posts on my music threads I initiate anyway. Unlike the 50+ of a lot of other people. I know the people that comment on my stuff, and I'll try and reciprocate.
Harris, Kramer, Fenderlikingood...and some others... Sorry, but your off the list (like you guys will really care). I feel somewhat uneasy posting specific names in this context, but what the hell, it is just how I feel at this time. You guys have just shown some "true colors" to me that I say don't blend with mine.
