Lisa (aka NowYou'rePlayingWithPower) evidently has passed away :(

[griff10672]

I do too - just not sure if that is *actually* her name


I couldn't find her obituary in that particular area


Hopefully this is all just some really weird way to totally break off all contact with the interwebz and not reality

funny I thought the same thing when she gave me her info ...

yeah .... I'm rooting for the " Jim Morrison " theory as I'm calling it myself too

This is a thread to respect Lisa. If she became friends with the Kid it would be very surprising. He spammed the shit out of every thread she was a part of, and as I have been reading this one, I felt it was ok for him to post once, but the spamming of this thread bothered me every time.
I dont personally have anything against him at this point, but it seems inappropriate in light of the group that some of us were in based solely on his behavior with her

I was thinking more along the lines of " she wants the whole forum to think she's gone " kind of do a Jim Morrison for lack of a better term ...

my opinion is some of the threats that were being publicly done ... along with the ones we didn't see in the DM's got to the legal level and caused a handful of people to vanish ....

I sincerely hope that's what it is ..... even though being caught up in that kind of shit must be a real pain in the ass .... it's better than being dead .

Yeah I get ya. I was only joking and honestly thought the same thing. Hopefully she isn’t dead. I liked her. That said I had no idea it had gone that far. She definitely seemed to get fixated on certain people and battles.

Its not my fault she was my friend.... Sister Lisa was like a big sister to me...... Or an older sibling I respected......


And well yeah it's not about me..... She was a friend to a lot of us.....and as said.......


Its about Sister Lisa



Cheers and thanks for paying your respects..... And saying goodbye........ I get it.



Sister Lisa was a fucking hero..... ImO that's what she was and my apologies for whatever.....


Just giving my respect to a real one and 1 of 1..... God Bless you Sister Lisa...


I hope you didn't suffer and are in a better place

I feel in my heart that Lisa would have wanted her death post to be full of trolling.

I thought she was better friends with you on here than the kid from what I observed.

I searched yesterday hoping to find something with the info she gave me and nothing. She told me she wasn’t on social media at all. I didn’t get the name of the club she owned or what her daughter’s band was called to trace back, except the family campground she had me ship to. If she wasn’t using her real name, no social media and having stuff shipped to another address, maybe she just didn’t want us knowing anything and this is a really odd way of saying goodbye, lets hope at least.

Wise words. RIP Elisabeth.

Would you give me your address, and say goodbye?

Hopefully it's just a way to disappear... It's too bad it ended the way it did here, it wasn't really reflective of her nature. I know she had her moments, but who knows what was said to her behind the scenes. She certainly implied it was pretty bad.

Her generosity and knowledge will be well missed...

She did have great knowledge of guitars.

You're not the only one who feels this way. I'm just going to leave it at that as I don't want accidentally throw any more disrespect than already has been.

I considered Lisa an online friend, enjoyed her contributions to this forum, thought she was an excellent musician, and even won a guitar from one of her contests. I'll keep her and her family in my mind every time I pay it.

A little tidbit for people who may have won something from her. When adjusting the springs on the guitar I got from her I found a script L with a heart around it. When I asked her about it she said it was something the learned from her grandpa (I believe). She said she marked a bunch of her gear like that. So if you have something from her check in a cavity or the inside of a plate and you may find a little reminder of her.

Sad news.
Her presence will be missed on the forum. I always had a lot respect for her. It's pretty uncommon for cool rock chicks to be hanging in such a male dominated forum/hobby, where she could certainly hold her own and could give and take shit like the most of us. This forum can be pretty brutal at times and she didn't shy away.
She seemed smart, witty, talented and yet still remained genuinely kind and feminine, not trying to out-testosterone anyone to fit in. She had a real unique character and perspective that I valued here on the forum. Hopefully she inspired more women/girls to enjoy the cool world of playing rock/metal guitars and cool music that we all share. She earned her place and respect here by knowing her shit and playing great, and certainly wasn't just a token chick hanging out on the forum. She had a genuine passion for it.

I wasn't fully aware of her hearing issues and I can't imagine how much distress and pain it would cause me to lose my hearing. Music, both playing and listening, is my main outlet and joy, so losing the ability to do either anymore would be absolutely devastating, let alone having to adjust to a new reality and challenges of communication and everyday living.

RIP Lisa.
