Vernon Reid left ESP because

[Deleted member 13074]

he's a bit dim

 

[cecilbag]

I had never heard this before. I'd love to have an old ESP like he used.

 

[Wizard of Ozz]

I love GL. The whole story was hilarious.

 

[mooncobra]

Doesn't Reid have a signature model coming out with PRS or am I thinking of someone else?

 

[japetus]

Jeeeez, give me a break! I swear, people are always trying to make something out of nothing. Vernon Reid is a great guitarist the guy is a weird dude. Look at his rig rundowns, he refuses to simplify his insanely bad sounding rig...it's a disaster.

Yes. He also had a pretty awesome Parker sig for a long time.

IDK, the times I've seen him his tone was pretty badass. Great recto tones.

 

[garey77]

I have a hard time listening to him. It almost always sounds like he's out of tune, over bends, or his intonation is out.

 

[Badronald]

'The lynch Obama party'!
Now that had me cracking up!
Zakk Wylde rolls in with a noose and a Rebel Flag!
Got my laugh for the day.

Snowflakes need to grow some balls.

Agreed. Can't listen. Tone is sloppy as hell and his pitch, wow. Never heard him play in tune.

Ya, these comments had me laughing

Vernon just needs to take it in stride man... It's rock and roll, be rebellious, offensive, loud. We're all part of the same noise making DNA.

Whatever.

But this conversation did make me laugh - Zakk, OMG - I can just imagine

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

What I'm wondering, is if Lynch heard that from an ESP rep, and I wonder if Vernon went as far as telling ESP to drop Lynch or else he is leaving? That would be funny, cuz matter of dollars, I never knew people running out to buy his multicolor esp.

 

[oldmtlhed]

Lynch was a moveon/Obama supporter?
Well... just lost all respect for him. He's off my list.

Zakk just gained a point or two in my book!

This has nothing to do with race, religion, or politics.
It has to do with the fact that Obama is a criminal fraud.
The Clintons are criminals too.
So don't flag me for talking "politics". It's not about politics!
These "criminals" should be in prison where they belong.

I wonder if Reid has music out that I haven't heard ? I though the tune "Cult of Personality" was great, but thought the solos were not very good. To me it sounds like random notes and bad whammy bar technique, yet he has always been touted as an awesome guitarist. I always thought of the band as a one hit wonder, and Reid as a mediocre guitarist. Not a bad guitarist mind you, just not deserving of all of oohs and aahs. Is there anything out that I should give a listen that would change my mind?

ESP's USA CEO Matt Masciandaro, was Georges Guitar Tech with Dokken in the early days and his best friend and best man at his last wedding. So yea I am sure heard a bunch of stuff over the years on endorsement deals. Matt got the job with ESP through George long ago and worked his way up the cooperate ladder.


George will be a ESP Endorser for life.

It is politics,and you know it. Stop doing it.

Agree. Cut the bullshit and move on.

Agree. Cut the bullshit and move on.

It's not bullshit, and I will "move on" when these criminals are in jail.
Thanks.

Wake up. They're all criminals. It's the system.
Now, back to guitars and whatnot...

Living Colour has a new album out. As for everything else, you're wrong.
