Scott is affixed to the Axe FX. Pluralism/free choice of gear makes him very upset.

I'm apparently the only person who doesn't know who Scott Peterson is, so I'll ask a stupid question: just who is this guy, and how is it that everyone hates him so much? What's he done to people to bring on such ire?

Not intentionally trying to get any flaming going; I'm honestly just curious (and apparently very naiive :lol: :LOL: )...


Maybe some hate him but for me hate is a pretty strong term. It's hard for me to hate or even greatly dislike someone I've never met. I think most of people's negativity towards him is because of his at times over the top statements he makes about the AxeFX, some of his posts end up contradicting themselves when something that doesn't jive is pointed out, he at times acts like an opinion cop judging who's opinion is valid and what is opinion as if we are idiots and can't tell 90% of post on these forums are freakin opinions, and the near every time knee jerk reaction he has to anything remotely negative said about the Axe. He likes the Axe a lot, I get that, and that's fine but the above gets under a lot of people's skin.

I will say he will try and help people if they have questions about it where as a loud few in the AxeFX community aren't as courteous with their help or lack there of............ (cough) Jay.....(cough) Mitchell.
 
Roger that...appreciate the insight. Oh and I didn't mean 'hate' in it's most literal sense; poor choice of words on my part. Dude definitely seems to be a very polarizing figure though!

BTW he's one of the main people and mods over at The Gear Page Forum. Quite a few people here have a negative feeling towards that forum for various reasons so I think that plays a part in that as well.
 
I think people can feel negative towards Scott because as mentioned, he is like the main mod over at TGP, and is very strict as far as how he mods and runs that forum, yet at the same time, can come across as a hypocrite when people don't share his opinion on things. Hence the negative image sometimes. I don't hang on TGP enough to get my panties in a wad. I personally am excited for the axe II. Have had the standard for a really long time, it has served me incredibly well, and actually don't really need to part with it, but since I do love the ease of direct recording, and kinda need to stay on top of all things, even if its only a small improvement, I may take the plunge sometime and get the newer model.
 
26 assorted models on sale now on ebay. Wow, never thought this day would come ;) :lol: :LOL:

He killed his pregnant wife and dumped her dead body into a marina several years ago. Why and how he gets to beta test new products from Fractal while serving a life sentence at San Quentin is beyond me. :confused: ................................ :D :lol: :LOL:

I think I can't do it anymore... I'm getting NO where with that bunch over there. I mean, seriously. I posted a simple thread - requesting a simple answer. Got shot down for it. I retorted by saying their overall collective there was very "Gestapo" like, here's my PM:

You have received a warning at Fractal Audio Systems Forum

Guys (and Laura)??? I don't think I'm gonna buy their Axe-II or anything else for that matter. These guys are the very reason I got into punk metal music in my earlier years. Fuck you and fuck the throne you sit on.

Over it.

And, for all my RT forumites whom I respect unwaivering, apologies for my use of profanity above. I've just had it.

It's a shame because I know you like the Axe. I felt the same way. If I made any comment that would be slightly questioning the Axe, or a simple comment about what I thought it lacked I would get crucified. It's a very good product, but it's not the Holy Grail.

Brad please don't give me a warning for using Christian references. ;)
 
Ya, it is the ultimate tool, I have to admit it. But I can't ethically support a network of assholes. Now, if Cliff and Tom want to talk shop about the forum's complete and utter bizarre drone bee hive mentality, maybe I'll reconsider. But otherwise, what a bunch of pompous ponces. It's a shame cuz Cliff has been cool with me, as has Tom King. Scott OTOH, well, maybe he needs to get some play, and I don't mean with a guitar. WAY too serious for my tastes... ANYWAY.

I oughta copy and paste some PMs I've received from other members over there - they're actually SCARED to say the things they tell me. They're fearful they'll get lambasted or - god forbid - banned from the forum. I'm sorry but that IS Gestapo mentality... It's ridiculous, ESPECIALLY considering hey - WE'RE THE CUSTOMERS THAT FLOAT YOUR DAMN BOAT!!!!

Ridiculous.

Where's my Hagen :D

After hearing Scott Peterson's playing on the Axe-Fx II I wonder why they choose him to test their product?

Ever forgot to type an 'f'? What does it sound like, if you forget the 'f' of fractal audio? Strange, isn't. ;)
