Can we talk about Matt Heafys guitar strap?

@VonBonfire and @GuitarGuy08 are triggered for getting called out for dorkery in the first degree :hys:

All of your wailed denials just make it more obvious that you guys KNOW how dorky it looks

You and some guys at TGP are the only ones I've heard criticize it to be honest. :LOL:

Hi guys Matt Heafy here. Based off of the advice in this thread I’ve called epiphone to cancel my weight relieved Les Paul signature guitar and my back has made a full recovery. And it’s good to know after all these years that we hear with our eyes and see with our ears. Thanks again.

Dude why not play a v or something super light that you don't need a white people baby carrier for?

Also, while you're here, please stop producing your recordings to sound so anemic and pro-toolsy, every band has the same steven slate drum samples and fucking "youtuber" 808 plus mesa OS IR tone and it's exhausting to listen to

Most of those types of bands are named “the debutants” or some other kind of pretentious crap like that

Hey Matt, thanks for dropping in!
What eyeliner do you recommend to help prevent smudging or bleeding on sweaty hot stage days?

To be serious for a sec, I don't wish you any ill will Matt, not really, but man that harness does irrationally piss me off on a lizard brain level I can't explain and I hate it. I mean did you really have to rig it up with a strap that goes under the strings on the front? And did you have to make the strap a different color than the guitar to make it extra obvious?

There's gotta be a better way bro. If you find one and fix the goofiness I'll be the first to cheer about it.

That genre is like the soundtrack to the far, far left and is the absolute darling of the Canadian music industry, winning Junos (our grammys lol) year in year out. “The Arkells”, “Arcade Fire”, etc. I’d rather take an arrow up my ass from Ted Nugent himself.

I know all about them, unfortunately. Those types of bands (mostly canadian, yes) try to play the PNW punk circuit in my area for "street cred", and spend most of their set preaching their politics instead of playing music. It doesn't go well, even among the far left punk scene, because they are "slumming it" and pretending that the punks should be grateful to hear their garbage indie pop and condescending "maple leaf talking shit about the US while in the US" gimmick.

Those bands are literally the AIDS of any music scene, anywhere - it's just especially bad in canada and the PNW
