What a sad little man...

So irrelevant he sold out ATT park in San Francisco. Did your band do that the week prior?

I'll actually admit their single cherry pie was catchy though

How about neither? Butt-incredulous maybe?

Also something to consider: This probably wasn't even actually Kirk who wrote this. It was probably some intern who manages their social media accounts. So, ok, maybe we can cut him a bit of slack. However, it does also mean that it is probably another thing to add to the list of stuff that Kirk merely pays people to create in his name.

Boo hoo, everybody is such a crybaby nowadays. Grow a pair or go buy some tampax.

A very good possibility, of course, however, at some level, he 'approved this message', so he's gotta know that there's the potential that it could come back and bite him. Could be he just doesn't give a flying V.

It's late and I'm tired, so I didn't read every post. If somebody else said it, sorry about that...

What, now there is a "community" for pedals?!?!

Really?

What is next, the volume pot community?

Please.....people just need to get over themselves and stop with this "community" B.S.. All it does is create a us against them mentality by making insiders and outsiders.

Side note, anybody that gets offended by a "Tweet" really needs to get a life.

Why do people think this is about being offended and "butthurt"? There's such a thing as simply calling out a bull**** statement for what it is, factually. Offense doesn't come into it. Yes, it's marketing bloviation. That still doesn't excuse it. I know this is 'Merica where we downright expect companies to make **** up and get away with it without a word from anyone otherwise, but this is also the age of the internet, where those same bull**** statements are easily refuted, publicly. That's how marketplace information works now.

Why does this of all statements need to be refuted. What about it inexcusable? Who cares. I hear much more misinformed crap all the time about stuff that actually matters. Most of the time I just ignore it.

The irony of calling everyone crybabys for dissing on Kirk is solid. Nice form.

LOL!

Slow clap for you. I'm super impressed. This is my impressed face

I just read his next pedal will be a collaboration with Kanye West...

As long as daft punk produce it

One of the worst out there? I see way worse every weekend at the local clubs and dive bars. I wish I had video footage of when I played guitar in a punk band back in '94ish if you want to see what bad guitar playing really is! Fortunately for me the camera phone and Internet hadnt been invented yet or I'd be screwed.

Hammett? One of the worst guitar players out there today, he literally cannot play in tune to save his life and his vibrato is pathetic. He has regressed the most out of the entire group IMO, Lars gave up decades ago so that is accepted but Kirk? It's baffling how bad he is....he had some solid solo work in the past. Hiding behind that wah pedal is probably a big factor in his regression..."wah wah wah.....diddle diddle diddle....wah wah wah"....ok yeah cool dude..there is a solo. GTFO!

No, you're a bunch of whiny cry baby's for caring about a pointless sentence that doesn't acknowledge a very small amount of boutique pedal builders that even most musicians have never heard of

 

[Killed_by_Death]

The thread title needs some work. We want people to be able to find hate for Kirk, LOL.

I'm sure whatever disdain anyone feels for him is not in his thoughts when he's looking at his bank balance.

Most musicians have never heard of much beyond fender and gibson either. Doesn't mean there isn't a huge market for the stuff that isn't Fender and Gibson, or that it doesn't exist. But hey, if you are so offended that I found your boy Kirk's statement to be completely without merit, I guess you can just ignore it.

Read between the lines, we are talking about someone who has been playing professionally at the highest level for 30yrs and yet somehow has forgotten how to play in tune etc.

 

[madbass6]

Ok.. heres my humble opinion ..
who gives a rats ass!! besides What do Guitar pedals have to do with Bass players anyways!
it's his opinion, Don't agree with it? that's ok..
Just agree to disagree and get over it!

 

[Killed_by_Death]

I'm outraged at your lack of outrage.
