Yup, David Gerlach, aka Giga.Blast, Chupa.Cabra, Top.Echelon, BlackSabbath and KingCrimson.

Like Steve, I found him genuine-and-entertaining to interact with privately. Definitely an interesting fella. Loved his motorcycles and worshipped his wife.

He's eccentric. Talked in riddles and hieroglyphics on the forum. Definitely added a rare flavour injection to the community. IIRC Steve was the last mod to ban him (I never did), so shame on you Brother Stoivo! :LOL:

I read so much crap around here these days that I thought he was still floating around here.

Me as well, But I was Gunslinger on HC. I've been here since the start, seen all the craziness here with Mitch and BK, etc... HC was the wild west, had SO much fun there, made alot of good friends, most of which migrated here. Seemed to me alot of folks didn't make the switch to here, for whatever reason, and split off to social media groups instead.

The HC EVH thread was so epic, I would laugh till I was ready to puke some days, the Zakk/motorcycle epiphone deal was quite a fun shitshow as well. Seems like 12 lifetimes ago....

HCAF was awesome! Then RT happened.

If he were I'd have noticed for sure Dale; his fingerprint is unmistakable-and-unique.

I must have been searching some old threads via Google, and that gave me the impression he was still around.

There were plenty of folks to steer clear of back in the day, but it is my hope they have mellowed some over the last 20 years. At the end of the day, we are all brothers.

Early HCAF was awesome. We were all learning a lot from one another back then.

Those guys were straight up douches! I actually thought their amp sounded all right from the clips back then, but the way they went about it was ALL WRONG.

There was some other forum where a lot of them went to, but I forget the name of it. I went over there twice, and I was greated warmly by former HCAF vets.

Hahaha, I can't claim that one. PRMike was a real guy. Him and Megadeth Mark used to have the funniest flame wars of all time.

Was he the “sweep the leg” guy? 🤣

No, he was the "sweep kick to the head guy"

One of the better Scamsevere threads was him posting that he was out on tour with Overkill, that he was posting from Dave Linsk's personal laptop. That was cool right up until Dave Linsk himself joined HCAF and shot that all to hell :ROFLMAO:

Scamsever eventually got popped for some illegal fireworks, weapons, and impersonating a police officer charges and was sent to prison. He was semi legendary over on the JCF too:

I mostly just lurk occasionally these days, but have been around with the same username since the HCAF days. Reading through this thread brought back some memories. And made me think of how much gear I’ve bought and sold on here over the years. It’s a lot😂😂

"This raceu4her has a big mouth and hates on anything peavey...my guess is that his ears are full of wax and his playing sounds like a fart through a wet paper bag...i bet he has never even owned a ms cab but just goes off his youtube diploma for his technical expertise"

But flipping through that RT thread @japetus posted made me wonder what happened to all these guys :dunno:
