Another Guitar Center Rant

[GrooveWarrior]

First of all, you have no idea who I am so you shouldn't even be making the statement you made. I have played at more than 3,000 shows. Been a technical advisor for concerts to raise money for victims of The Station Night Club fire in Rhode Island where 100 people lost their lives during a Great White show. I have also played at several benefits for victims of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 including several on an aircraft carrier for the sailors who protect our country. I have worked with Mark Farner ( formerly of Grand Funk Railroad), Rick Derringer, rTodd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, Alan Parsons, Jack Bruce, Tim McGraw, Steve Murphy (Trans Siberian Orchestra),John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, The Walk Down Abbey Road Tour (look it up if you don't know what it is),appeared on national television and provided music for a Fox Sports Original Series. I was recently asked to join a band featuring a guitarist who has played with Rick Derringer and Lynyrd Skynyrd. By the way, I accepted and made it through the first rehearsal. I am currently vice president of a company that provides music to television, movies, websites, corporate videos and support for live performance. The largest audience I have played to is 25,000. What have you played lately?


And by the way, you didn't even address the issue in my original post.

And you're counting on GC to buy USED gear??????

This does not compute.

Going against a Marshall full stack, the only solution is double 8-10's. (or a used Eden 410)

come on fellas,... no piling on. (i think he got his answer)

"not sure what to do" he says...

Sounds like you make enough money, both from performing and from your executive level job, to buy a new cabinet. That is what I suggest.

I'll send him a cord. That should help him cut through. Heh.

Ha! Hilarious.

You're just supposed to bow to his credentials, and not question stuff like that!


...such a success as a musician, and won't even spring for a suppporting membership here. What does he do for a living again?

This thread is hilarious. If the OP had the cred he is supposed to have then I think he would know that the rig he was after wouldnt work to begin with for competeing volume wise.

I, however will be using a pair of 810's onstage in clubs if my new 3pc pans out. Why? a) because I can. b) it looks awsome c) it sounds awsome.

Is it overkill? You bet it is!

Waitaminute, GC employees don't know a lot about gear? That's unheard of, it's almost as if they hire people based on their ability to sell, and not on their knowledge... could it... no... they would NEVER do that.
