I was never curious to see a turtle's nipples until now.

I'm no biologist but ain't they like amphatamines or somthin'?

I was 29 when I joined this site. A lot of the members at the time were around the same age range. Now that we are older, there are younger members, which is to be expected.

So is that what my neighbor is doing? Cooking turtle stew? He always says hes cooking some kind of amphatamines or something.

frfr no cap ok boomer fresh asf vibessss

(I had to Google these words)

Ha! I got it without google!

You’re playing a guitar with GHS Boomers into an amp with no filter caps (sounds dangerous) that’s plugged into a full range, flat response cab.

But this does not answer the question of which IR you’re using.

There is none, because he's playing IRL, that is, impulse-response-less. That's what makes the tone so fresh. It's not good, but it's fresh.

I'm old enough to have watched movies on VHS when I was a kid, had most of my music collection on cassette tape, and I still think the nineties happened like a week ago and that groove metal is cool, but I'm young enough not to hate new stuff only because it's new or being overwhelmed by how the world changes pretty much every day.

I also have a lot of hair on my head, exercise several times a week, learn new stuff all the time (I'm not afraid of learning new things... except parallel parking maybe, fuck that) and deal with people younger than me all the time so my overall attitude towards life isn't 100% like a middle aged man's would be. That said, my brain is not like a teenager's nor I behave like one, but part of it still thinks that most people sucks and all politicians should die like when I was 16.

Also I don't hate Polyphia.

That's interesting, exactly same here. And we drive the same car too. Are we the same person?

@profwoot I apologize and also immediately regret searching for turtle with nipples

Coincidentally, my primary heritage is Swedish, family side was "Svensson" when they came over which became Anglocized to Swanson, and then changed from there, etc; so even from roughly the same region!

and we love you anyway

I joined because I heard yall had the hot ladies over here, ended up staying for the edgy guitar nerds. This is my third or fourth account through the years. I don't remember when I joined the first time, back when I had hopes and dreams revolving around music. That was a long period of naivete for me.

One day Shono will return and bring balance to the force. One day. I have to believe that.

Depending on the day, I'm either twelve, or four hundred thirty.

Actual age: 50

When I was in my early twenties I hung out at this music store a lot. One day this older dude came in, and we, despite my heavy-metal aura (long hair, long beard, black everything, leather jacket, etc) he started chatting with me as we were looking at the same guitars. We talked quite a long while about music, about bands, about life, on and on. About an hour and a half or so into our conversation, both of us sitting on chairs holding guitars, sometimes trading chords or leads, an old woman walks in, stares at us like she was ready to kill us both, and waits a moment. The old man kicks something off, I join in, the old woman goes up to him, hits his shoulder, and he just sets the guitar on the stand and says, "Nice meeting you," and starts to leave. She throws over her shoulder as they walk away, "You kids are such terrible influences on him!"

I'm now that old man, hanging out on music forums trying to remember what it was like to have rock in my blood, while my wife hovers over me waiting for her chance to tell you you're all bad influences on me.

So ends old man rant #2 of today.

joined when I was 15, now I'm 29 going into my 30's, holy shit half of my life already.

can't be more gratefull though, learned like 80% of my homerecording skills in the forum when the recording community was actually active and before shitty youtube tutorials. Those skills literally helped me to pay around 1/3 of my student debt (the other 1/3 was paid by flipping guitars and I still owe the last 1/3 )

Interesting, why would someone consider this forum to be a bad influence? Bad spending habits? But even then, if you have the money to spend then what's the problem?
It's conflicting to say this because I'm not a successful person but guitar & recording have been very good for me, because they gave me a purpose in life and something to work on every day. You could say it's not a great purpose because how hard it is to make a living from it but still. I never cared about anything before and this gave me something to care about.

This forum seems like just normal dudes with normal lives, even with good jobs to afford all that gear. Mostly level headed people. I wouldn't say it's a bad influence at all.
I wish I didn't vent about my stuff so publicly for all the world to see but idk, it's almost therapeutic in a way.
