Forum issues?

This comment from Tommy Tourbus also deserves a response:

"It's interesting how there's a correlation between how much a certain guitar is associated with heavy rock/metal and the intelligence of the people that play them."

So now we know. Playing a Les Paul imbues one with the IQ of Stephen Hawking whereas playing an SG means one is a mental retard.

I don't own a Les Paul but I do own a variety of other guitars so I can only assume that my mental capacity fluctuates with the guitar I happen to be playing, e.g. really low with the SGs, middling with the Gretsch (too many rockabilly timewarp associations I assume), higher with Telecasters, pretty good with say my jazzy Al Caiola and great when doing a bit of fingerpicking on acoustic.

Suffice to say that Mr Tourbus' own intelligence is apparent in his own utterances.

I don't know about the MLP forum, but I could never join the corksniffers on the Les Paul Forum...and I own more LPs' than SGs'...

I read a disparaging thread there about this forum and how we are all nothing but a bunch of uneducated, uninformed assholes, according to the thread http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/showthread.php?188234-Everything-SG-Forum

I saw that thread on LPF a few months after it first appeared a couple of years ago. It actually shows up in one of the first few hits if you Google "Everything SG Forum."

I just sort of blew it off.

The site is apparently experiencing DoS (Denial of Services)attacks from overseas. These are occurring on all of Alex's sites.

Yeah. I see he put a notice about it on the MLP Forum.

-We should just raid their site and start posting hundreds of pics of our SGs'...That'll f@ck 'em !

" Light the torches and grab the pitchforks....lets raid their LP village and go a rapin' and a pillagin' !!!....."

For those who don't recall TommyTourbus, we made him cry, so he left us. The genius had overpaid for a historic SG, then proceeded to throw away hardware and try to make it look like a regular shiny SG. We were all rude, for asking why. So remember, the impertinent, drunkards and insipid are protected species in fora land, where every opinion has value and we all get participation medals....

T.T. is one unlucky bugger! "Just received a brand new white Firebird and there is a finish check happening at the tone pot, like a stress crack from the pot being screwed down tight."
I've bought a bunch of off the rack Gibsons and haven't seen more than a dull spot in the finish or a loose screw.

I had a look at the LPF thread that Sean posted and what did I find?
That our old friend Kris Ford had this to say about us...

"What a bunch of uniformed assholes...I absolutely HATE that site and the stupid MLP one too."

Personally I got pretty sick of his smug "I can tell what day your guitar was made" arrogance and snotty superiority.
Glad to see you've gone Kris. Now go and annoy some other poor sods until they get pissed off with you.

Kernel says: I've never been called a uniformed asshole before. TEN 'HUT! At ease you men. Smoke 'em if you got 'em. Prrrrruuuuuuuttttt!

Personally, I find the level of ignorance on other music oriented sites to be pretty uninteresting when it isn't downright
appalling. This site seems much more welcoming and much less arrogant. Maybe the arrogant know-it-alls find that
uninteresting. No great loss. I promise to make a real effort not to sound like an arrogant know-it-all. And I'm just not a Les Paul guy. I'm glad I wouldn't fit in with the IN Crowd there. I think I remember T T boy as being vehemently anti-Gibson... poisonously so. unless I'm confusing him with another similar one.
I seem to remember thinking, "if you feel that way, why'dja buy one?"

I too seem to have had remarkable luck in finding excellent instruments without
too many glaring flaws. But I usually don't look at guitars with a microscope.

Do people say as many bad things about Fender as they do about Gibson?

Is Rum provided or need we steal our own then????

I could provide the Rum @eS.G. ...but it would be way more fun stealing it with you....

I'll bring the beer. Anybody got a parrot and an eye patch?

I think there are as many haters as there are lovers on either side of the fence, Colonel.

Brand loyalty is the culprit...I myself love both equally...both have given me an equal amount of love in return, if it sounds great and plays like a catholic schoolgirl on spring break then I don't care whose name adorns the headstock.

Isn't that what its all about ???
