I think James Lugo started his own site for guitar stuff a little while ago.

Now we have a non player at the helm……..

By "now" you mean since Bob and Chris sold the site in 2009?

Brad may have not been a virtuoso like some of the guys here past and present but I saw enough of his playing in clips to know he can play far better than many of the hacks who know it all about gear and then have posted their clips here

 

[Chubtone]

Yeah, I don't want to disparage the guy or kick him when he is down. I'm sure there are many things he does well, like kicking my ass would be one of them, but I saw his clips too. Someone doesn't have to be a virtuoso for me to consider them good. The guy has owned a Ferrari! I never will. He can't play guitar. He still has owned a Ferrari so he wins, but......

I still contend he can play better than numerous guys I've seen post clips here and many of those are also the "know it all about gear guys"

He can't play guitar.

Yep. Fuck his Ferrari and his poser persona. This dude has always sucked and brought this forum down the minute he bought it. Not to mention ripping people off left and right while the majority of the community sat idly by.

The dude can barely keep it together.

I find it hilarious that the GABber's always have some bullshit to say about this site. You obviously left for a reason so why do you still look at this site and feel the need to post your negative BS about a guy who hasn't done wrong to you?

This site is a great tool to learn about, buy and trade gear. I wouldn't know much about a lot of great amps and guitars if it weren't for this site. Keep playing your stock Marshall's and Custom Chavel's

I agree with this

Didn't he rent it, or was that a lambo? I vaguely remember him showing off in one vid. As for owning Ferarri's, it really depends on model and production year etc if you really want to be a player...

GAB has a lot of guys who left here who had personal issues Brad and his personality. I'm indifferent when it comes to the owner of this site. I've never bought anything from him so I have no personal dealings with him. I've perused around GAB but between TGP and here it offers nothing for me.

Sounds like Brad did a douche bag thing and is paying the price. Why in the hell that has any bearing on anyone's choice to hang here.... I'm not sure.

From my perspective a lot of those guys who left here left because they thought Brad was a braggadocios blow hard. They may be right in some repects but in all honesty some of those guys should first look in the mirror.

The couple of interactions I had with him he seemed like an asshole... Just sayin.. Also I enjoy GAB and prefer it to R-T anymore but I pop in here now and then because I have a few friends left here.

That being said, this place is nothing compared to what it was when Bob and Thump owned it.

I'm on GAB a lot more than I am here anymore, and no one talks shit; nobody cares. I'm not sure where you're getting your info. There was the Charveldan thread over there and the one thread about the Camerons last year, but that was pretty much it.

Never had any interactions with him but he was nice enough to remove your ban from here even though you were still able to post with the ban moniker under your screen name, that was some funny shit
