I'm not sure which guy you're talking about, but since I'm in the "11 year" bucket (though I was lurking here years before that), and I was never a high count poster, I'll reintroduce (and really it was years ago that I was more active). I followed rupe over here from a Charvel forum about 11 years ago, doesn't look like he posts here anymore. Brad was still running the show at the time.
At the time I was told that all gear demos were required to start with the opening riff to "Lay it Down" and in my early days that seemed to be the case, but now it appears everyone's obsessed with some young guy named Tim for some reason. Curt/Chubtone was not a builder yet, but dished out cool info on Charvels, and even made a little album called "For Some Time Now" which was cool. Steve Henning (SAH) another great Charvel knowledge base before like Curt he went into his own building enterprise but with amps, and then up and left here unfortunately. And the pair always had great 80's LA scene stories of course.
If you mention "many men" in a post, I will understand. If you mention "Charvel Dan" in a post, I will understand. If you mention "Reza meltdown" in a post, I will understand. And I'm really, REALLY, sad to hear about the members we've lost here in recent times, I've just been catching up and it doesn't seem real
Anyhow, thought I'd pop back in and see how things are going. Feels a little different, but at least the place is still active. And people are still complaining about TGP...so at least some things haven't changed
Post up. Tell us your story. Most of us regulars really like this place and we pretty much all get along real well, even when we disagree. We have very little spam/trolling as well. We have kick ass Mods too - which helps. Carry on.
