I think he was standing by with a can of gas and a GoPro. He’s made a bunch of anti-Chapman vids.
The only one he’s made I thought had any real merit was the NDSP one, but he didn’t do enough homework. It’s easy to shit on them for the lack of features they initially they advertised and still haven’t made good on, but if he spent any time looking at their socials he’d see the absurd fucking amount of units that need to be shipped back to Finland for repairs. I don’t mean like “oh I’ve seen 3-4 guys need to do it”, I mean there’s like 5-6 a week popping up and it’s been like that for the last year.
If it’s actual consumer protection stuff, I see it as a benefit. The Peavey prison labor bullshit, this Victory thing is just drivel. That said, never at any point in my life up until the last 5-6 years did I think guitar/gear would play this kind of role in our lives. Like we have fucking soap operas on gear-related shit now. Compared to when I started in the 90’s and you had the guitar mags and Musician’s Friend, it’s such a different fucking world.
This guy will be more useful when another Vertex/Cameron pops up. Just imagine that whole Vertex saga had there been some little shithead making daily updates for that many more people to see.
