Come on Smiles...didn't you read my response to your question before?

When I originally followed his link, I had no idea that 1. Roseweave was LR Weizel on HCFX, and 2. that he started that thread specifically to "bring out the haters" on that board.

Yes, I thought then - and still think now, especially knowing now what I do about his trolling - that the post was a legit post that was trying to show some type of tone that was supposed to be awesome. However, to me and my ears, as well as many others (that you guys apparently think are snobs), [size=150]the guitar playing got in the way of really showing what kind of "tone" was trying to be shown. I'm sorry, but I actually at first turned it off and didn't listen to the whole thing because the playing was so...amateurish. I then went back and listened to the whole thing. I still believe the playing to be just that.[/size]

And now knowing that the post was simply trolling to begin with, I really have no respect for the original post.

I criticized the playing because tone can be a direct result of your playing and what you're playing through. Please see the playing of Adam Jones if you (or anyone else who may chime in) don't believe this to be true. Clearly, now we know that the ONLY thing the troll was trying to acomplish was to start some type of "I knew you'd say that" crap with the people on HCFX. As such, perhaps his playing was even more shoddy than it normally would be (though I've heard NOTHING to indicate this), but I take nothing back that I said about his posting of his very amateurish guitar playing. Here is a portion of his post on his playing ability from #93 on that HCFX thread:

How is what I wrote any different?

But that doesn't mean we need to be at each other's throats with personal attacks...those are always ugly, and unnecessary. Some people can't seem to seperate a disagreement from an attack.

Damn hippies

In regards to the college bubble thing, Sillius, I'd have to say that you're pretty much just stereotyping college students and expressing assumptions that you shouldn't be.
I think yer a cool cat, I dig some of the contributions you've made to the forum, but I'm not a big fan of what you said about the "college bubble."
I think you're being very, very derogatory, and in my opinion, well... uncool, man. I do not dig.

but honestly, I don't care much to get involved in this whole debacle. nobody's gonna win.

I used the bubble idea to try to express an idea about what the real world was like vs the world that MOST college students live in. While there are some (deadbeatroit obviously) that believe college is not some enclosed place where ideology abounds and the worlds problems are "solved" every day, others, like myself, that have been there and thought the same thing while attending college, know differently. Hell, my bubble was burst again just three weeks ago when my daughter was born.

Every day is a new learning experience and I just feel - because I have been there (10 years worth) and experienced it - being fresh out of high school and having 3 or even 4 years of college doesn't lead one to have those all encompassing life experiences. While you may go to school where somebody on some part of the campus has hacked an intruder to death with a sword for breaking into a garage, or you may have a job or an internship that hopefully leads somewhere later on, or you read every newspaper you can get your hands on in the library, or perhaps you may even be going to college on your own dime (and not that of your parents), you still get to, at the end of the day, be most worried about whether you have studied enough for your exams to pass your classes (and honestly, some really don't even worry about that). Because you weren't at that house and your internship takes up only 6 hours a week and you don't have to start paying back your student loans until at least 6 months after you graduate - and even then you can defer them for a looooong time. (<<Yep, personal experience again. )

I went to college when I was 18 and again when I was 25. Two entirely different experiences. The second time, I realized what a bubble I had been living in when I went to college the first time. And again, while this bubble won't apply to everybody, I pretty sure that at least 85% of college kids DO live in that bubble. That's not an assumption. That's experience.

I'm sorry if I've offended those college students that don't believe they live in a bubble. Those that are working to pay their tuition and don't live at home with mom and dad, those that don't eat from the cafeteria's meal plan - those kids have the beginnings of what the future ahead may bring. But you cannot even begin to understand life until you're setting at the kitchen table trying to figure out how many more places you have to apply to before you will get another job because the last one laid you off and the state is sending you letters saying your unemployment benefits are running out, or wondering how you will continue to pay COBRA $1000 per month for health insurance for your family because you don't have a job, or trying to mathematically figure out how you will pay the heat bill for the house when your job isn't the steadiest of employment, or debating between whether you should pay to get the alternator fixed so you can drive to work or use that money to make the monthly car payment, or wondering whether you should withdraw the money out of your 401k because it has tanked and what little you do have left would be better in a savings account, or wondering how you're going to take care of your parents after one of them has had a stroke and is pretty much disabled and now they cannot take care of themselves, and on and on and on ....

So am I being derogatory? I don't think so. I just think I'm a little more realistic than those whose main concerns involve wondering how they are going to buy their next boutique pedal.

Thread over.

Then stop posting on it...

I totally understand that, and looking now at your original college bubble post I see that you weren't even meaning it in a derogatory way, really.. The other posts just kind of swayed it into that direction. I'd say that I agree with you somewhat on the fact that a lot of people have it pretty easy, but good for them, really. Personally, I don't have it easy at all. I don't milk that for all I can get from it, though.

Yer a-okay in my book, dude!
