    Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters

    I'll fully concede that the human plot was terrible, and I'll even grant that Mark and Emma could have been replaced with two finger puppets that constantly screamed "MADDIE" and "ANDREW" the entire movie, and the plot would probably improve. HOWEVER I will counter that plot has NEVER been a...

    As I Lay Dying are back with the classic lineup

    Yea Tim is a shitbag human for trying to have his then-wife killed, but its clear that he is atoning for his sins through word and deed. In his open letter, he made note that he had penned and released his apologies after being completely severed from the legal system, which to his credit does...

    What the hell happened to outside music?

    When I lived in apartments, I always made it a point to meet my neighbors and invite them in for a snack. I'd have my rig on display and when the subject inevitably came up, I would tell them "I'm going to play at reasonable levels, but I can play my instrument well, or I can play terribly...

    Working at guitar center??

    Its a form of brand protection. When you walk into a guitar shop and ask to see their custom PRSes/Gibsons/whatever, you instantly know that you're not going to see a price tag below a certain dollar amount, which is precisely the point. Barring extremely rare circumstances, manufacturers...

    Working at guitar center??

    It'll generally depend from store to store, but the location I worked at had strict protocol due to dumpster diving. We had a custom shop LP get damaged on the floor; after we documented the damage and deemed it unsellable + manager approval, the store tech stripped it of hardware, guts, and...

    It was a 90 day policy + District Manager and Store Manager approval when I worked there.

    Working at guitar center??

    Oh I'm not saying that its exclusive to GC, but when you have people exploiting the 30 day return policy on gear to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars weekly, its no wonder why the sales staff are always grumpy. I've borne witness to several bands walking out with halfstacks and top shelf...

I was OMIT (Operations Manager in Training - basically a fancy title for the Assistant Ops Manager) in my store - worked in the warehouse, helped open, count money, do inventory, etc. The problem is all on the sales floor. Because of the hard commission and faded hours the...

    I'm just surprised someone was dumb enough to use AliExpress as their ghostbuilder.

    Olson Guitarworks (Jared Dines 17 string) - IS A SCAMMER

    From the Guitar World article comments: Apparently someone contacted the AliExpress maker and was able to extract THEIR final product pics: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2UHaP2aGjuHLXhaMlpBbXl4d2M Not even surprised that they're better quality pics than Olsen's reveal photo.
