What a sad little man...

[Planespotter]

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.

I hear ya. I think for somebody like KH it's like you mentioned about the Metallica bubble. It would be incredibly hard to stay inspired or even have any sense of urgency when you have that kind of money and adulation. Still, those first 3 Metallica albums got spun daily in my teenage years so I have a soft spot for him even though I hate everything they've done since AJFA.

KH is really taking it in the shorts on Feces Book today:

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.

Yeah, this 'bass player' community, who the hell do they think they are? They should just consider themselves guitarists that don't have to play chords---talk about a cushy job. BTW, if it had been a 'press release' or an article in Guitar World, would he have been any less pompous and dismissive? Rest assured, my day hasn't been any more ruined than if he(or his minions by proxy)hadn't opened his mouth.

Over the cliff?

So basically its just an existing pedal circuit that is modified to suit a guitarist who used to tour the world but no one likes them anymore so they need to diversify their business?

A member of Metallica being a jerk?

I love Metallica's first 5 albums and as people they're um, adorable. Everytime they say something you're like awwww.... it tried to think. And you can't get too mad.

 

[Rugmaster]

Leave that to the drummers...

When I'm super ultra famous, I want my own signature line of ziplock bags and Tupperware.

 

[AshInAmsterdam]

Next up a Lars Ulrich professional 50 band EQ. Ultimate control over your next album.

Bands all the way from from 1kHz to 25kHz. Patented "make sure he knows he will never replace Cliff" switch for extra bass cut.

 

[crentest]

Why does everyone NEED to be offended ALL the time in the 21st Century?

Because, in the old days, a good fence made a good neighbor.
Now a days, with words butchery, and internet life.
Well, at any rate, a good offence is probably a good neighbor fence, I think.

SO Quirk Hammet statement. This is not built in a day, it's the fruit of decades of uselessness...

Why does everyone NEED to be offended ALL the time in the 21st Century?

They've all lost their morals.

 

[NortyFiner]

Show of hands time; who's surprised that someone from Metallica is a jackass? Anyone? Buehler?

Seriously, just further proof of how far the mighty have fallen. Anyone who knows the history of this group and their problems should not be surprised. I really think Cliff's death collectively did something to their heads and they've never gotten over it; interviewing them about that would make a great thesis in psychology if you could get them to cooperate.

 

[OldPlucker]

I don't, nor will I ever, claim to be an authority on pedal manufacturing. I could probably do it. I know how to solder & know a decent about about electricity & electronics.
Kirk's team probably knows more about it than I do, but they still chose to make this statement, and I'm still fine with it.

edit/add:

I stand by my own statement that the profits are great for pedal manufacturers.

True this

 

[brianrost]

I didn't even know there was a pedal community. Is it by invitation only? Is there a dress code?

Mustaine's autobiography has a sad angle on Cliff's death.

Don't give them that excuse though - they got where they did not by being kind, but by a mix of ego and talent. Not to mention right place at right time.

Lars' ego doesn't fit in his diminutive frame and the day he hooked up with James Hetfield something big and bad was born. Damage comes from ego and the funds to explore it, and the fame only serves to expand an ego further.

I loved Metallica (ignoring the nay-sayers who disliked the Black album and the Loads) right until St Anger, which dropped it for me. And the film Some Kind of Monster that followed its production just proved how little they care about the music they're making or the fans. All too often in the film they mention money, and large sums of it. $40,000 a week for a shrink to follow them around for 2 years. $5,000,000 for one of Lars' paintings. $1,000,000 advance for Trujillo.

I don't begrudge them the money - they certainly earned it more than many of their peers - but for a long time it's seemed that Metallica Inc. is more important than Metallica the band.

And Kirk and Jason (now Robert) always seemed to be the moderate, sensible one who somehow found strength to put up with the others.

It's just publicity, bigging up your product with an angle, and that angle is promotion of his status as a guitar player in one of the biggest bands in the world......as of now all those companies that have "complained" are now in the spotlight....its publicity for them now, i mean would you stand and argue with the record company that releases "The 20 Greatest Rock Songs ever " that "actually this is not the 20' greatest rock songs ever?"

I still remember buying "The Only Rock Album You'll Ever Need".....then seeing "The Only Rock Album You'll Ever Need 2" a few months later??????

Reminds me of a UK cereal that gave away "The Best Album of the Next Century... Ever" at the end of the '90s.... could be easily proven a false title

 

[NoiseNinja]

I am an awesome guitar AND bass player (and very modest about it too), I bet I would be awesome at making pedals too!

Not that I know anything about electronics, but I am sure a pedal that would make you sound like Jason Newsted on ..and justice for all would be a big hit!
