Silenced Fred Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I am lost Too many fanboys joining up at the moment, too much drama everywhere I gotta respect the lot of you for putting up with it, give yourselves a pat on the back (or wherever you feel necessary :-k/ ) I'm out for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillybilly Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 fanboys? there have always been fanboys here. we just like people like hendrix, page and bloomfield. why do we only label the supporters of musicians we do not like as fanboys? why does buckethead elicit such hatred from some of older members? i dont care for him, but it seems obvious to me that the man is talented. he's just not my cup-o-tea. to each his own, right? as for the drama, i think if a few people would give it a rest the drama would subside.

saturn Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 There's no guitar/music related topic that's worth getting all worked up over. Agree or disagree, whatever. It's just letters on a screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(see above)[/quote'] It is not liking someone that makes you a fanboy, it is making them infallable like the pope People feel the need to say that people who don't like said artist are obviously crazy I don't like Buckethead, not a huge fan of Slash but I don't go around telling people who like them that they are wrong. I have listened to music from both and not for me. Slash is a great guitarist, I just don't like him that much. Same goes for Buckethead.

Diatonic_mealworm Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Fanboy is a stupid word. It's childish and not clever in the slightest. Agree 100% the word 'Fanboy" is by far the dumbest word ever typed or spoken. When i see someone use the word i know what im dealing with .....thats right a "Idiot" But the topic creator is right to some degree..seems like most of the older crowd think all the dead guitarists are the best and can never be outdone...sad really.
