Peek-a-Boo!

​I’ve never once called myself a 'high art musician,' nor do I think I am.

Glad that's cleared up. Now we know we can ignore your constant drivel.

And yet, here you are. Reading my posts, quoting my words, and writing responses just to tell me how much you're 'ignoring' me. I’m living rent-free in your head, and honestly, I love how invested you are in my every word

Glad you're so easily amused. Little things...

And yet, you’re still fetching the stick every time I throw it. Good boy! Here you are, still replying. I didn't realize my 'drivel' was your entire personality now, but I appreciate the dedication. Don't forget to hit refresh so you can see what I type next

It is genuinely heartwarming how devoted you are to my content. You claimed you were going to ignore me, yet you’re still here, front row and center, notifications clearly turned on. Thanks for the unconditional support, always nice to have groupies so devoted to little old me

Your keyboard seems to have diarrhoea. Still, it's nice you like to spend time on pointless replies. Little things...

What plugins did you bring up in this thread, again?

Also does your band do the limbo song at weddings? classic.

I doubt he'd stoop so low

Uh. No. I was referring to:


Don't get me wrong though, siouxuzziiees -or however the f**k she spells her name -version is fantastic.

Sauna anyone?

Is it analog or digital?

It is hybrid. And you will be naked in there, no clothes, no bathing suits or such are allowed

Ah, hardware based then?

And yet, you’re still here swimming in it. Thanks for being the most dedicated fan of my drivel you said you were going to ignore. See you on my next post!

The fact that you need the last word to feel like a big boy is amazing. You claim you’re ignoring me, but your ego is too bruised to just walk away. I dare you to prove me wrong by not replying to this. (Spoiler: You can't).

Imagine being in a dreary covers band that plays at weddings and thinking you are a high art musician

I'm just gonna say it, boomers with a touch of the tism need to figure that shit out and stop being such utter oblivious train wrecks.

First of all, get your demographics right. I’m Generation X but a boomer

Second, the irony of you crying about other people being 'oblivious train wrecks' while confidently dropping some of the most elitist, painfully ignorant garbage on this forum is staggering. You’re sitting there thinking you’re handing out hard truths, but you just look like an arrogant, try-hard gatekeeper who needs to log off and figure their own miserable life out. Imagine being this pressed over someone else's existence and opinion.

Because what’s my actual sin here? Posting on a forum dedicated to musicians about how much I love seeing people play live music. You’re entirely manufacturing a problem that doesn’t exist

OK, I'm going to get real here for a moment.

So, you're "actual sin"? You do not seem capable of stating an opinion without acting like it's a fact. You don't ever seem interested in ending an argument with understanding, you just want to "win". Your opinions are wildly unpopular so you're not making any friends here yet you seem to think people are "elitist". This all points to either a personality disorder or a genetic variation like undiagnosed autism. In either case spending your time arguing with people online isn't going to help.

Absolutely no reason for unnecessary tension and stress, if everyone is "picking on you" then maybe you're not reacting to disagreements in a rational and empathetic way? You're not alone in this, there's an epidemic of men on forums about their crafts or hobbies, arguing like the other person is the living representative of all that is wrong with this world. Let's be real here this isn't your first dog and pony show, you're always fighting with people on this forum.

Now I'm not saying don't debate or argue with people, that's all fun and games sometimes, and I'm super guilty obviously of enjoying a heated "discussion", but here's the kicker, I will concede or agree with people if I'm wrong, just last week I had to apologize for not seeing a fix posted to an issue I was complaining about. I just don't think you're capable of nuance, you had sort of a point with live music VS backing tracks, but you couldn't concede anything so you pretzeled up your logic on it so hard people stopped arguing with you and started poking fun at you about it.

Like I said, I don't really enjoy discussions about peoples personalities, it's not helpful and adds nothing of value, but in your case you're acting like a victim here, but you're the one drawing all the heat. KVR isn't necessarily filled with rational unemotional people who never argue , and even in that environment you're standing out. So maybe take a step back yourself, and look at what you're doing here? No one is trying to kill you, it's just words on a forum, but I do think there's something deeper than just your typical flame war happening here, otherwise I would just continue to poke at you like others are. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or tear your arguments apart here, I'm pointing out that you're losing out on great discussions by seemingly not being capable of seeing how you're coming across. Hope some of that made sense on some level, but I expect a personal attack again, since statistically after 50 people are set in their ways and mostly people don't seem to learn from their mistakes anyway.

I talk about gear and plugins,, including ones that fly under the radar all the time—literally right here in this thread. But I guess it’s easier for you to fabricate a completely false narrative than it is to actually read and be honest

The plugins are listed in the thread, but I know scrolling up is hard when you're busy typing out cringey wedding jokes. Thanks for letting everyone know you can't read, though.

However, we don't do the limbo—though watching you attempt the intellectual limbo to get under my skin is pretty entertaining. So thanks for that

Honestly, thank you so much for the laughs today. It’s not often people are generous enough to completely embarrass themselves just to provide some free entertainment to little old me. I genuinely appreciate the comedy hour you are providing, not just to me but to all of us.

How many posts per page do you have? Are there different settings? If i scroll up there are 9 posts above this one.

You could have just answered.

In a world where live music is disappearing, how can you complain about a wedding musician earning a living.

On one end there's complains about A.I. stealing from artists and on the other it's ok to play other artists works, get paid, and not pay a cent to the original songwriters of those works.

Can you not see the difference between someone singing/playing a song live to a small group of people, than radio, TV or streaming playing a recording to millions of people?

Stopping people playing music in public cannot be good.

Sure and you could have just asked nicely without lame jokes you thought were insulting

But since you are obviously a fan, this link

Is to my very first post in this thread

Don't sweat the apology however for falsely accusing me. I already factored your complete lack of self-awareness into the conversation, so you're totally cleared

[TechHaus]

You are very mad about the limbo thing, damn.

I’m not mad, I’m just amazed you thought that lame joke was a flex. You're like a toddler showing off a drawing that belongs on the fridge. Good job, buddy. So proud of you

Imagine being so desperate for a win that you have to convince yourself I'm 'mad' about a boomer-tier limbo joke. It’s genuinely hilarious how proud you are of that absolute swing-and-a-miss. Here’s your participation trophy for comedy, you tried your best
