those jokes can be taken quite seriously by a lot of new people.

I sure hope not. You mean the bit about the "standby" on a guitar amp being there to prevent you from harmful radiation . . . or using ice cubes to cool off the tubes . . .

. . . and of course there's the one about the ficticious microphone being made on the docked barge. :D

If anyone thinks this guy's being serious, then they deserve whatever misinformation they get from him!
 
What should we do with DJL? Here's what I do:
1. Listen to him. Just because his tactics are annoying doesn't mean he's wrong in any given case.
2. Point out clearly when his underhanded habit of insinuation sinks to the level of bullshit.
3. Agree with him when he's right, which is a fair amount of the time. Because his style of rhetoric is so annoyingly lawyer-like, it's easy to overlook when he's right as a knee jerk reflex.
4. Try to keep him away from Alan Hyatt, and vice versa, because the result is always boring and pointless.
5. Respect his experience, for what it's worth. If a third of his resume is true, he's as experienced as Harvey and Fletcher, which is a mouthful.
6. Observe, as above, that he is usually sane when not dealing with Alan Hyatt.
7. Lastly, and most importantly, don't deal with him in the third person, like he's not here. DJL- This is my neutral position. You are knowledgable and often helpful, and like most good AE's, you're opinionated about mics. The shit that gets stirred up when you cross swords with Alan isn't helpful to beginners, or this board, or anything, in fact, just the reverse. And no, I am not some stupid sycophant who thinks Alan is a god. I will be happy to point out problems with his business tactics, his products, his character flaws, and his contributions to this board. I observe good and bad in him, just like you. It's been better lately, there's some evidence that the two of you can be trained to avoid each other. That would be better for all of us.-Richie

You mean like when flies pick at a sore until it becomes a fetid ulcer? C'mon, I hate lawyers more than the next guy, but this isn't fair even to those weasely scum. (A bus went over a cliff last night with 50 people aboard: the good news - it was full of lawyers. The bad news - three of them survived.)

Pardon me? What experience are we talking about here. If you mean that bullshit joke in the other thread, read it again. I won't believe he has any experience until he posts something to back it up.
 
Guys, the information posted about him was a joke. :D Which some of you appear to have fallen for hook>line>sinker.

"If a third of his resume is true"? I don't think any of it is true. I believe that's a made up resume by someone else.
 
Thanks, guys, I feel better already. I have my days when I can be stupid too. Actually, though. there are 2 threads alledging DJL's experiences, and I believe at least one of them was written by him. I am not referring to his alledged use of C-4's on Elvin Jones, etc. Even I am not that stupid. For all I know, he's the summer replacement for Father time, and is a 14 y/o girl in a mental institution.
Well DJL, you're big on busting people's balls because they won't answer your questions, just because it's you that's asking. So who the hell are you, really? What's your age, and gender, recording experience and credits, if any?
How's the wife and kids, or are you gay? Have you graduated from Junior High yet, or are you really an old guy that runs a porno store? If you want any credibility, you are going to have to be a real person, with a real life. Otherwise, your twisted logic makes no sense at all, and you will be ignored along with deformed comic, and other cartoon characters.-Richie

No way man...it's all true. I read it on the internet, that's how I know.

War :cool:
 
Well, inquiring minds still want to know. See, I'm a real person, as most of the people here are. I don't quite take it all back. DJL's still right sometimes, and it's easy to overlook that fact. But the question now is- if DJL won't tell me who he is and what he does, why should Brent Casey tell me his modifications to a C-4? and Cap'n Reverb- you're an evil man, and I do have my extra stupid days.-Richie
 
DJL seems like a popular guy to me ;) over 50 replies..Hes got a hard on for PMI..I don't know why{They seem like a good guys who takes care of their sh*t if anythings wrong} and come to think of it,I don't care...Other than that DJL seems fine to me..

Chessrock,

They took the bait as well.... Worms is my guess. In a red colored Hills Brothers Coffee can...or is that Folgers? :D
 
I dealt the ace to the Queen, and played Scrabble with LBJ.

Does that count? :D

My name is Don and I play in a band and I own a few small business and one is a studio... I'm also a landlord and use to own a sound and lighting company.... I worked with more bands than I can remember... everyone from Bonnie Raitt to Ronnie Montrose.

Can you elaborate a little here - not the bands, but what the "work" was. And specifically, what qualifications do you have to be giving advice on recording techniques and equipment? You own a studio, and I own a machine that gives electro-convulsive (shock) treatments, but I sure wouldn't try to tell anyone how to use it, because I don't know how to myself.
 
All together now me hearties! :D
