Man! I wish I could have heard the clip. I really miss stuff like this on the forums. If really like to hear what everyone does and hopefully sometime soon, post up some music I've been working on. We were all somewhat harsh to each other back in the HCAF days, but there was always a sense of community back then, and that's one reason why I decided to finally start posting over here...I recognized some of the usernames.

Steve, I think your original comments were very constructive and were your honest opinions. No need to defend yourself. They're your comments and opinions. No problem.

To the OP, I'd be great to hear what you posted up. I didn't get to check it out, but based on the comments, it sounds like it has some killer playing. Hopefully the words of encouragement spur you on, and I hope and negative comments spur you on too.

Go to sound cloud, if you subscribe, and search for Major Michael. Guys a really proficient and technical player....each of his ( what I call) sketches is a little different texturally. Some of it, to me, just "gets on me" (number 7 was pretty good), while other pieces and parts are the musical equivalent of having someone read a random page out of Merrian Webster. The words are there, but the story just isn't resounding.

Pride got in his way of this being an awesome resource and learning tool for him, IMHO.

I'm still....

Hey, thanks man! I'll definitely check it out! Thanks for the advice!!! Much appreciated!

Jesus christ, OP's skin is apparently so thin he's borderline transparent


You ask for criticism, and when you receive it (in a totally proper, coherent, valid response that was not AT ALL inflammatory whatsoever) you fly off the handle with this childish passive aggressive behavior and even go so far as to seek out and talk shit about another man's music for absolutely no reason other than to be a dickhead.


If something this small and innocent can set you off in such a manner, you must never leave your house because I can't even imagine how you'd cope with the real world where the entire population will not readily kiss your ass and nod in absolute agreement with everything you say or do.

When you first started posting clips, I thought you were a chill, level headed guy with some great chops and an incredible sounding rig, but now I realize only half of that observation was true

I generally like the OPs clips. I see how this thread is shaking out so here is my two cents...

I put up clips often. For me its fun and i get constructive criticism. It forces me to face my shortcomings. But bottom line is this... The second you put yourself out there with a clip you will read citicism. I can use Bob Savage as a perfect example. Me and Bob have talked for many years online going back to HC. Bob is a solid dude that speaks his mind. A few years back i put up a vid where the guitar didn't sound so hot and my playing was meh. Some spoke negitively about and. Bob made some honest comments that weren't to favorable towards the vid. Did i get pissed? No. Did i stop posting vids of my playing? No i kept putting up vids. Bob and the others spoke their minds and thats cool. You put something out there be ready to roll with the inevitable criticism. Learn what you can from it. Some are just being mean but others are simply calling it like they see/hear it. Again my two cents.

This is how people who actually have backbones behave

Thanks Devin for coming back from your year and 4 month hiatus to breath some life back into this thrilling thread.

So what's the deal? Beating on the OP(whether he's there to respond or not) at GAB's not enough?

Michael pulled some similar shit over at GAB. Then one of our members found this thread and we all realized this dude is just a big sloppy vagina.

Steve is a solid dude and he handled this well. I'm guessing he probably understands fusion. (whatever the heck fusion means)

I don't really understand fusion, FWIW.

I wasn't even going to mention what happened at GAB, but since you did, THIS is the post at GAB that apparently bruised Michael's tender little backside:

"hey man, join in some of our other threads. not that I mind you Marshall major videos cause those tones and your playing are really cool... but take your coat off, grab a beer, bullshit with the hommies. :thu:"

Heavy, heavy stuff right there


Edit: I didn't even realize this thread was ancient though carry on

frickin' hommies - they'll get you everytime!!

What a shock.

I can't believe no one here mentioned this thread when he slithered back recently after his long, self-imposed hiatus after this epic meltdown...
