I was recently checking out the local guitar shops trying to find a new amp. The salesman that approached me was a short, muscular guy who looked about 40 years old. I told him I was in the market for a new amp and he proceeded to tell me how good the 5150 was. In the midst of all this babbling he actually asked me a question. He asked, "So what type of music do you listen to,". I told him that the amp was for a metal band I was joining, but I prefer to listen to instrumental. Such as Satch and Vai. "Really," he said. "You know Eddie is a lot more of an emotional player and has a lot more soul than Vai,". I laughed, shrugged, and proceeded to tell him that that was his own opinion and it didn't really matter to me because I still prefer to listen to Vai. He then looked at me and said, "Hey, it's cool. But I've seen Eddie play before and he's way better than Vai, that's all,". This was imediately followed by me walking out of the store saying, "Nice sales pitch *@$@%*&$%*@,"!
Ain't nothin' but a Gear thang, baby!
