Yeah, the post count's low, and the attitude's high ..... but it was well justified i believe. I saw something that needed commented on, I left a my-style comment.

I could care less how people view me ... i bring the unadulterated way i see things, take it or leave ot

that said, It's always fun to be "the dude" .... I've done it a number of times unintentionally myself, mostly when trying out new gear. Granted, half the time i'm too involved to really note passerby's, but i know it happens (buds telling me and such).

And to whoever it was..... great guitarists who flounder often are a pain to work with or they don't have the desire to be great. It's NOT the industry, otherwise, Shrapnel records would not exist. The industry is out there for those who want it, it works, not immediately, and not easily, but it does. Time and persistence get you a long way in the "biz", and blaming it on the labels isn't an excuse for failure, lack of desire/humility are more deserved titles
