Okay, so as most of the frequent visitors to the GG&A forum know, there was a troll spree by jessexxx. In every post he made, apparently everyone was a mindless sheep.
Now, I will concede that yes, there does seem to be a problem with bandwagoning on the forum. But when you start calling MrCarrot, forsaknzrl (sorry man, but I can't remember how to spell your name), and various others mindless and stupid....
The irony becomes tangible.
Anyways. My other problem with him is that my name happens to be Jesse. So yeah. Sounds dumb, but I found it insulting. But that's just me...

Well, i get onto AIM today and one of my best friends is online. The same one that my "The world is coming to an end" blog is about.......
So he IM's me, asks how it's going, you know.
About 30 mins. in, he says......
"Dude, I want your help getting a new amp." "Last time I tried to help you, you ignored me and got a G-DEC " " Yeah, I know....... you were right. I want a tube. Yours sounded awesome at the show"
Congrats Ben, your ear for tone has finally begun developing!
He's going to be getting a Fender or a V-series soon....... I'm so proud of my little buddy :haha
Okay, so let me start out with the good stuff first.
I NO LONGER HAVE AN MG!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Palomino V32, baby!
But, now onto the bad part.
So, I call my friend (who shall remain nameless and is also a guitar player) a couple weeks ago, and I find out that he is getting his Christmas early (since his mom is a J. Witness, and his dad is Christian, he celebrates when his dad sends him money for his present), and it will consist of getting a new guitar and amp. He wanted my help, so I told him to get an Epi Les Paul (since he wants the classic rock sounds of Skynyrd and Sabbath) and a small decent tube amp.
Then the unthinkable happened.....
"I don't like tube amps. They take too much time to maintain and I don't like how they sound. Besides, the Line 6 Spiders own."
WTF!!!!???!!!?!?!?
I seriously didn't speak for a good 15 seconds. Regaining my composure, I said, "Look man, you're never gonna get that classic rock sound out of an SS amp. Especially the Line 6."
"But small amps suck, especially small tube amps. They're too quiet and don't have hardly any distortion."
"Look, just do me a favor and trust me on this one. If you're gonna get an SS, don't get a modeling one. You asked for my help, and there it is."
"Alright man, thanks!"
Later that week, all I hear is him raving about his new amp and his guitar. I will admit, his LP is awesome (Epi LP Custom, something like that). Then, I go over to his house to see his new amp. I get there, and see his nice, shiny, awesome Epi plugged into......
A Fender G-DEC 15 watt amp.
And apparently, as he recently said, his G-DEC is "so much more awesome than your Palomino. Mine's so much more versatile, and it sounds better."
Apparently, G-DECs are now better than Palominos and all other tube amps.
