what's the difference between these sig set, and a set of ants?

$150, and a magnet.

Nah, just kidding. I have no clue, but it's probably not too far off.
I'd still love to have a set.

It's like saying what's the difference between a P.A.F. from a 1959 Les Paul made on a Tuesday at 11:00 vs. one made on Friday at 4:30. There's supposed to be no difference if you asked Gibson in 1959. They were the same pickup. But we know they're not. They're all like snowflakes. Then add in the infinite variables of 60+ years of aging and even two hypothetically dead equal DNA clones of one another from 1959 could sound quite different today in an A/B test.

We're quite good at replicating specific snowflakes consistently.

Don't you mean Bonamawesome?

[SrDeMaFp]

HELL YES!

This times like....a million.

[misterwhizzy]

Don't you mean Bonamawesome?

Who do you think you are? Barney Stinson or somethin'?

[Kam]

Who do you think you are? Barney Stinson or somethin'?

I would totally have an awesomely hilarious and witty retort to that if I hadn't had to google Barney Stinson.

Well, my joke was intentionally horrible. I decided last night I was going to make obscure references and see if anyone got them. Barney Stinson wasn't an obscure reference. Chip Chipperson was. I don't even know if you'll be able to understand that reference after Googling it.

And I'm not proud that I know who Barney Stinson is. My sister-in-law roped me into watching the show in its first season, and I have stupidly stuck with it even though it's been about two years since I actually laughed at it.

[CTN]

ok seriously though guys, I am super excited for the possibility of a Joe Q&A, and I know that most if not all of you other dudes are too.

YES!!!!

[Kam]

I agree. We should totally have a Barney Stinson Q&A.

[CTN]

Kam, I hate you.

Awesome player, great gear...

...but he should really learn to keep his mouth shut.

" best selling blues artist of the decade.. 0 Grammy nominations and 0 Blues music awards.. Yet I sell out 2500 t0 5000 seat venues.. I am so disappointed that none of my 9 consecutive #1 records get any freaking attention at all.. Rejected isn't strong enough of a word to describe the way I feel yet again.. 12 years in a ****ing row.. You think I think one of my records deserves a nomination"

I mean, because all the brands chasing him for signature gear and all the raging fans he has are not enough gratification.

I kinda felt bad for him when he posted that.

having fans are one thing...but getting recognized and acknowledged by your peers and by the industry itself is something completely different. In that regard, he really does deserve a whole lot of accolades. Maybe it's because the music industry as a whole doesn't give a crap about blues anymore.

[tc]

He does deserve much more than he gets in that sense. I do agree there, but the way he put it it sounded a bit immature. I'm sure if he would have waited 10 minutes before hitting the "post" button and let his head cool off a bit he would have written the same thing in a much more mature manner and I would have completely agreed with him. You can tell from the details of how he wrote the post he was letting his emotions get the best of him.

I know, he's a musician, not a saint and I shouldn't expect him to act like one...but it does rub me the wrong way. I do think he's one bad mutha on the gueetar fo' sho anyways.

[CTN]

f**k immaturity. he's human.


Sometimes we all get down and out, feel underappreciated, and useless. Happened to me just the other day. But all my friends would call me a p*ssy if I posted something that emo on my facebook. That's also because most of my friends are metalheads who have a fierce affinity for macho masculinity. Whatever.

Don't hate on him because he's human.

99% of the time he's one of the most down to earth, cool, enthusiastic "famous" guys I've ever seen.

[grumptruck]

down to Earth guy who has 0% rock star attitude

OH they are for the stage lights.
