Howdy, cocksucker! I've been in more magazines than you've had hot dinners. Kindly suck on that. And just so you know, from what I've gathered Steve likes them quite a bit younger.

Thanks for playing, though.

Is that how you validate your existence to yourself?

God, I hope you don't use that as a pick-up line.

Give it up, sir. You are boring.

Exactly.

Oh, I dunno. Why don't you ask Steve who did all the work on In Utero. And no, I don't need to validate my existence. I was merely returning his infantile vitriol (bringing dear old mother into things, no less) with a bit of jocular whimsicality. How does it feel to be so stupid? Does it hurt?

Yep, definitely getting the douche chills again.

Cough it up then. Just who are you, SUPERSTAR?

I didn't have the time to try any out, though i did buy a Bellari LA120 tube compressor/limiter for $60. Has anyone played one of these before?

I masturbated on the Bellari while you watched the Queens video because
you deserve the best.
Please don't show your face in my store ever....ever...ever.

I think that's the disingenuous part.

Okay anonymous internet douche. You have already suggested you would like to kill me, called another poster a cocksucker and tried to impress on everybody how famous you and all your friends are. We got it. You're a hack who's afraid everyone will find out, or worse yet, afraid nobody will care if you're a hack or not. You're trying to capture some coup by calling me names, suggesting that everybody secretly hates me and generally running down anybody who has commented on Fred Mangan's behavior.

I'm sure Fred Mangan is aware that you have taken up the lance to defend his honor and poke fun at me. Mission accomplished. And since you have no other business here, now fuck off.

But at least a few of you are still saving up, no doubt.

For a guy who seems to have a problem with "people wasting their lives posting to an internet forum", you seem to do a very good job of it. Cheers!

Because I don't give a fuck. Why do you care? How long ago was that? Are you not beyond In Utero yet?
It's very unhealthy to be so hostile. A man of your age should be more concerned with his health. I have heard that not being breastfed causes repressed anger later in life. Perhaps this is your problem. A little therapy might help you resolve these issues.

Ahh..but you do use it as a pick-up line, don't you?

Claytron wrote:How does it feel to be so stupid? Does it hurt?

I must admit, dumbing myself down to your level is quite excruciating.

claytron, are you for real?

wasting our lives posting on an internet message forum? what have you been doing here? hurling a series of insults that you and your buddies no doubt find terribly amusing, probably giving each other high-fives via email or messenger as you go?

do you know what steve and others have done here? casually built a great internet resource for folks who are interested in talking about music, recording, gear, even guitar-related stuff like what your buddy fred does, repairing and designing instruments. lots of folks here have worthwhile discussions, answer technical questions, share information and experience...

if you or your entourage of mutual friends had actually spent any amount of time hanging out with steve, I don't get how you could come to these conclusions of yours. in fact, you sound like a thousand other crybabies who repeat ad-nauseum this caracature of steve that seems to be a popular conception of him amongst people who don't actually know him at all. of all the people I know who actually know him, i'm not aware of many if any who think like you do. it's pretty hard to do if you actually know what you're talking about.

so my curiosity is getting the best of me. it's easy to assume you're into recording, and you fully embrace digital recording. seems clear enough, since you keep dragging anti-analog rhetoric into the conversation which should probably still be about your man fred's shop and his unconventional guitars. but aside from that, what's your deal? who are YOU? what do you do? what makes your well-practiced insult hurling impressive? what have you got to back it up? do you do anything interesting? or just jerk yourself off insulting folks?

anything you can do to make it look like you, and by proxy- and more importantly- your buddy fred, are more than just name-callers with a bad case of sour grapes? I don't really care one way or another, but this thread will probably start popping up as one of the first Google results for searches about fred's shop, so you or he might wanna take an opportunity here to say something a bit more... non-assinine than what you've been putting out there so far.

I mean, sure fred's rep is "rock solid" and everything (although I have to admit to never having heard of him before, and generally not paying much mind to novelty guitars) but you could do well to represent the business in a way that isn't so incredibly douchey. wife and kids to feed and whatnot.

and yeah, it's pretty obvious that claytron and fred are not the same person, unless that person is a criminally insane schizo monster or something. the linguistics are just way too different.

anyway, claytron, I know it was a couple-few paragraphs back, but if you wanna have at any of those questions I threw out there, I would genuinely appreciate it.
and ultimately, i'm just kinda curious what your goal is here, other than to throw as many darts at steve as you can, and defend your buddy who seemed to be a lot better off before you took to that task.

btw, I've only ever seen Melvins with Buzz playing a boring Les Paul and not something outrageous. post a pic.

and FWIW, revering Josh Homme in the way you accuse others of revering Steve, that doesn't really go far to prove any kind of point you may have been trying to make. in fact, between the story that started this thread, fred's website, and then your posts in this thread, it's all coming across like... like you guys are jerking yourselves off by elevating Josh and then attaching yourselves beneath him. food for thought, if you like.
