I would like to apologize to the members here..

[chasenblues]

one of my favorite modern guitarists was a member here and I didn't know it

That should give you an indication of how much he actually interacted here with the common folk.

Gentleman,
I would like to apologize for my behavior on this forum this past week. I feel after a long think about it that I treated you and this place with disrespect after feeling accused of colluding with a dealer to scam a fellow collector. I said many things that I now regret and feel I have diminished the overall community by making someone else's issue about me. With that I apologize to Gregory and Victor and to those I have offended. That is not how I do business and treat people. I allowed the New York Italian get the best of me, Thank you for welcoming me all those years ago and for the hospitality over the years. This will be my LAST post here on the MLPF.. (I promise) I wish you all the very best and I hope you all enjoy this gear as much as I do.
All the Best,
Joe Bonamassa

Hey, I agree with what the guy in the SRV hat said!! We all lose our cool every so often!!

 

[Turd]

It's OK, I got so pissed that I sent a guy on MLP my address once so he could come fight me, but I'm still here.

Screw it!

I showed up but your old lady said you were out getting a Happy Meal.

My only issue is that when you said the stuff about millennials. You (and myself) want to keep the blues alive, but you trashed the generation that will have to keep it alive...and we all know how the guitar industry is doing these days...

And yes I am a millennial, 19 years old. I play mostly 60s rock, blues, psychedelic rock. Needless to say, I don't exactly fit into this generation.

EDIT: Joe, you're still a good guy. You're a geek like myself and everyone on here. I certainly respect you for your knowledge and collection.

This really is it. This opinion is probably more valuable than any other posted here, because this kid, and others like him, are the ones who will keep it alive like we have.

Let's make sure they don't get burned out ... or burnt.

We don't need millennials to keep the blues alive...what would it be about?

You should probably go find your safe space, then.

Don't worry, there'll be crayons.

MY generation had the BEST BLUES, dude! YOUR generation didn't know SHIT for BLUES! In MY day, we MADE our own blues, and we LIKED it.

 

[edro]

"You've had to live the blues to play the blues" is pure horse shit.

You just have to feel it to play it.... Just like feeling jazz to play it... Lotta folks think they're playing jazz...but nawt... Lotta folks out there think they are actually playing musically....but nawt...

One can play all the notes... It ain't the notes... It's HOW the notes are played...even the wrong ones....

Some folks listen to early blues and think noise and easy as shit stuff to play...right up to the point you try to play it just like RJ played it... Gotta feel it...

 

[edro]

I've seen kids in the shop with a guitar that know nothing about chords, notes, or music in general, crudely picking out some melody and rhythm they hear in their head with not a freaking clue what they are playing....

THAT, folks, is music. Music in its truest and most base form. One cannot get more musical than that.

Those incapable of understanding the above have not a clue....

You mean back when you had to pick cotton all day ?

Name me one other forum member that was a regular guy that would get any kind of attention at all if they announced their leaving. Ok, maybe Rudy, or Thump, or Crotch, Rockin Les Paul, Freebyrd69,, but not just anyone. My point is we are greater as a forum based on the collective contributions of the many, instead of the whining of a few.

My sermon is over, may you all go in peace.

I don't see the point of even announcing it, really. I've taken months off here and there, and I just go.

Quoth Slacky, "... and out the door I went ..."
