Billy Blades Update

[IndyWS6]

That video was very telling of charveldans.. I didn't join this forum to get into a hatefest, I cannot understand why this guy charveldan attacked me? Perhaps he had a run in with somebody and had a bad day? This is the very reason a lot of my colleagues don't join forums, unprovoked insults and rants aren't a lure to folks who just want to make some new friends and talk about gear. I apologize for losing my cool yesterday and lashing back, gotta keep it pro.

peace

Remember the scene from the movie "What Dreams May Come" where the husband goes to into hell to save his wife? He was told not to spend more than three minutes with his wife, or she would drag him down with her... That's the best analogy I can come up with to describe the "vibe" on Rig Talk.

If you're not extremely careful, you can easily lose yourself here. Most of RT's trouble makers are no-talant hacks who are pissed-off because their rock and roll dreams turned-out to be rock and roll delusions. They're miserable people who continually scan the forum looking for new victims... They see Billy Blades on the road to success, and they hate it!

Don't you think this might be a tad... I dunno... melodramatic?

^ Solid opinion right there, folks...

I have a question; why do people create forum accounts, post a bunch and then go back and edit nearly every post? Surely you can see that the posts were quoted and will live on, right? If you said something you regret, apologize. If you made a mistake, admit it. Don't go back and try to erase history because that rarely works in today's technological society. Long story short, think it through before posting, or man the fuck up and own it.

Just my opinion, YMMV, etc., etc.

I like how Billy's friends are calling Dan fat. Yeah....Billy is slender.

Ive actually dropped 20 pounds since that vid was made last winter.

It was the off season eh ...

Billy looks like he's a bypass in waiting.

If he smokes, its gonna be over fast.

This was july.

My playing is no worse or better than anyone else.

I have no desire to be some sort of "rock star", i grew up since the 80's and don't like any movies, music or TV past 1990.

I have a life and enjoy nice things.

I don't let peoples opinion of me rent space in my head, its none of my bidness.

If people have a problem with me thats their problem and not mine.

I never heard of Himmell til the blades video have no opinion either way.

Neither good or bad, just is.

One things for sure i don't endorse Himmell, or blades and are telling people not to buy into their shit.

Good products sell themselves, they dont need production videos.

Dude stop buying gear and spend $50 on a metronome. Buying a $3K+ amp will not fix bad technique or bad timing. If you are squeezing shit thru a horn that's what it will sound like regardless if the horn is made out of tin or gold.

Hahaaa OMG I was about to tell him the EXACT SAME THING! CharvelDan....dude....get a metronome man...PLEASE! You're killing my ears with the timing.

 

[metalmaniac93]

Thank you so much for your comments and your candor concerning my videos and guitar playing, both good and bad.. I apologize if my videos were offensive to anyone, it was just for fun really. Also my guitar playing style is not for everyone so it's okay to say whatever you feel concerning that. I joined because I thought this could be group of really cool guy's who liked great guitar tone and wanted to share about it is all.

I look forward to learning more in the future..

Best,

Mike

Mike, no need to apologize at all!!! Your playing kicks ass and you sound great!!!

 

[metalmaniac93]

Hi Mike Himmel here, I played on the Blades amp video..

I'm a noob to all of this forum/rig talk.. It's a pleasure to be onboard with people who are so passionate about amp's and tone. I can't speak to the earlier commentary about Billy Blades, however I can say he has personally treated me with kindness and respect. As to those who don't like the visual content of the Blades video, it's ok I'm not offended. I would find it very difficult sit there and watch an ugly guy like me in a 7+ minute video, so I tried to spice it up. I edited the video so I apologize for any fails visually.

Here's the latest video using the amp

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j211mJ7aRSw

Thanks, and it's a great honor to be allowed here on this forum.

very best,

Well Mike welcome to the forum. Let me give you a crash course to success. I as a player of 40 years don't want to see a montage' of other dewds and Harleys, could care less, could even care less about your note for note compilation.

Youtube is full of 8 year olds who can play Eric Johnson and anyone else note for note.

Guys want pussy and good looking trim.

Find this gal above for ur next video.

And tell Billy to come up with a cross between a Jet City, Bugera and SLO at a blue collar working mans price and all you fuggars will be rich.

Thank you that will be 5K ...

You're an idiot Dan

You clearly didn't watch the video or you would have seen the chicks that are much hotter than the skank in the video that you posted. And if you have been playing for 40 years, you should have hung it up 39 years ago.

Since when did playing by yourself in your own apartment for fun become a "studio session" complete with forum Simon Cowell type critics .

Its been fun but some of you dewds smoke too much Ganja or drink too much.

Perhaps i'll hire a drummer next time i want to fire up my MARSHALL.

Who gives a Feck anyway, srsly ?

Funny how himmel sez i "attacked" him when all i said was dewds wanna see pussy in videos and not a Harley Biker Bro tribute.

Sound like someones ego got bruised.

Himmel has spent a 50 year career learning what EVH did 40 years ago when these kids have done it before puberty.

The Defense rests ur honor ...

OMG!!! IS this charveldan's video? And he's breaking my ball's on my video, my guitar playing? Seriously? And he is giving me career advice about being successful? Watch the video.. I'm not certain if it's him, but he's wearing a wifebeater and looks like he lives in a trailer house.. not that there's anything wrong with that, however one doesn't usually equate success he touts knowledge of having, with living in a house that looks like that.

you are busch league, everyone know's it.. I'm actually happy to be here with the rest of the guy's who are really cool. next

charveldan.. you've been exposed on video for the non talent that you are.. you shouldn't cross people and insult them without knowledge of who they may be because then you risk being exposed for what you are. You don't like killer car's, bikes, or hot girls, somethings amiss?

CHARVELDAN IN ALL HIS GUITAR GLORY RIGHT HERE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIh0-EO ... 3uZoE96w8A

here's FAT CHARVELDAN in all his glory folks!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsmg9Q4jvUs

Fatboy charveldan pulled it.. he talks shit then cries like a bitch and deletes his video.. I screen grabbed it.

Can someone please tell me why the fuck this clown charveldan is biting my ankles? I came here to make friends and talk tone and great music, not to get ambushed by some swamp chimp with an axe to grind.. ugh.



I can't see why he deleted any of this. He makes some pretty salient points.

Besides the fact he's a raging fatist, this kid's ok.

 

[charveldan]

I didn't pull anything, i got a new computer this year and some old files were lost.

My youtube is charveldan1 knock yourself unconcious.

*** note the encrypted name i have for youtube.

 

[Schaf]

charveldan..

The "gal" in the video is my wife. I would ask that you please be respectful concerning personal comments. I can understand if you don't care for the quality or content of the video's or you don't care for my playing, that's ok. I just joined this forum today to make new friends and talk about amp's, tone chasing and fun music stuff. I didn't sign up here today to be attacked.

thanks in advance for understanding,

Mike

Mike, you don't play a Friedman amp. Dan doesn't like anybody else's amps. For anybody to say anything about your playing or your video is crazy to me. I guess those that are critical of it would rather watch some boring ass dude in his bedroom playing. I don't know. You fn rip it up no doubt about it.

Dan has no respect for anybody so I wouldn't even waste my time responding to him. The things people bitch about on these forums of amazing to me. The lack of common courtesy and just outright stupidity has just about gotten me to stop coming to them. Shame, because there are some dudes that have a wealth of info to share. Then you just have outright douchebags that ruin it.

Anyway, great playing and tone.

That video was very telling of charveldans.. I didn't join this forum to get into a hatefest, I cannot understand why this guy charveldan attacked me? Perhaps he had a run in with somebody and had a bad day? This is the very reason a lot of my colleagues don't join forums, unprovoked insults and rants aren't a lure to folks who just want to make some new friends and talk about gear.

If you're not extremely careful, you can easily lose yourself here. Most of RT's trouble makers are no-talant hacks who are pissed-off because their rock and roll dreams turned-out to be rock and roll delusions. They're miserable people who continually scan the forum looking for new victims... They see Billy Blades on the road to success, and they hate it!

Don't you think this might be a tad... I dunno... melodramatic?

Respect is earned not given freely with me, act like a douche and u are one in my book.

Lots of great amps besides Friedmans, when my JMP was modded in 2011 the Friedman amp line didn't exist.

The real guitar heros of the 60's & 70's are senior citizens now or dead.

Everyone else is just a wannabe.

People on forums take themselves way too serious and need to get over themselves.

This medium is really beginning to bore me.

Im sure if someone put up 30K a producer and production crew i could produce i nice video as well ... not my thing Mang.

Point and shoot like my dick.

Anyone want to bitch about my clips put up your own and lets see the goods.

 

[cardinal]

If that's actually Mike Himmell posting here I'll be stunned.

I think a new Sig is in order.

 

[charveldan]

90% of the paying public consumer is Joe Average guitar dewd, thats the target market. Outta that the dewds 45 to 60 are the ones with the cash.
Blades market stradegy 2 years ago was "Fuck everyone who is anyone, im the best, i know all me, me, me, I, I, I fucke everbody else.

Now somebody is trying to market the blades brand as legit and we're all spose to forget the 2 years of being a douche.

His amps look like a prize you would win at the ring toss at the county fair.

Fucking over the paying public is not the key to success.

Business Majors are something you earn at Universities not internet forums.

Try going to school if you want to be a businessman.

Yeah, that last vid totally nailed the vh atomic punk tone. I don't get the need for some to attack and bash a new member just because he plays and seems to really dig his blades firebolt amp. Even if the blades amps are exact clones of Cameron Jose and Aldrich models, to me that's even more of a bonus as long as they sound like the originals which from mikes vids , sound great. I don't care much for the cosmetics or the way the chassis is bent but there's so much brand loyalty fanboy shit around here its terrible. If something isn't $4000 then it's just impossible to make music with it.

I picked up a EVH 5150 III for $899 brand new with free shipping and no tax.

I think that amp sounds great! A 3 channel tube for that price is a steal!

 

[headlessdeadguy]

Need more lulz.

Cant upload any more stuff that would fit this thread "PERFECTLY"....in my own sick way.

Hope all is good.
