Posted under Off Topic

I'll start

Dragonforce

pick stealing gnomes

a person saying a guitar is out of tune when it's in dropped D tuning. DADGBE

People who forget that playing guitar is supposed to be fun.

People who mess with the settings/knobs on amps,pedals,guitars.

Freebird!

people who play the solo from Stairway to heaven with the distortion on

When you see a neat Ibanez on Ebay and bid on it,and before the auction ends someone bids on it for 1,000.00. Fricken
snipers!

When someone asks if you could play anything other than that satanic Heavy Metal stuff.

It's hard rock..

You know what I hate? People who divide music into these horrible genres. Good music is good music. Regardless.

This. Holy shit, this.

hard metal, death metal, glam metal, pop metal, black metal, speed metal, power metal, groove metal, thrash metal, doom metal, fucking viking metal.. what the fuck does all of it even mean? The fucking wikipedia Heavy_metal_subgenres page has 33 different entries (goddamn, Southern fucking metal? Where you mix metal and blues? What. tha. fuck.) and I know that there are ones not even on the list. (jesus, rap metal? really? REALLY?)

how about words that we use likes tags? Fast. Slow. Loud. Melodic. laid back. intense. Orchestral. Melodic. Dark. very dark. Sweeping guitars. Powerful drums. Makes a lot more sense then post-nu-power-industrial grindcore.

People who break the No Stairway rule in guitar shops.

People who tell me to play my guitar unplugged.

I hate you. -.-

I prefer non screaming songs,like this one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHLXnyY537c

But I also prefer Toto - Hold the line,but since doofuses from Sony entertainment blocked it in my country (of all countries,why Serbia :\ ) and i can't find clean version of it.

Also Autotune.

And cables that keep shorting out

People who think it's funny to leave a amp at 10 in a guitar shop.

Oh, This.

I was watching a Megadeth song music video and a Justin Bieber ad came up.

Also people that turn guitar into a competition. "How fast can you sweep!? I can do 6 strings at 400 bpm!" Music is not about how fast you can play, even in metal you don't have to shred to make a good solo.

Updated by anonymous

you're a fool if oyu dont check the noise level before you turn on someone elses amp. also, tell that to Michael romeo

Updated by anonymous

Those who think Rock music doesn't have meaning.

There is meaning behind certain songs.

Peace Sells(but who's buying),about war.

Leper Messiah,about corrupt preachers.

Ride the lighting,about innocent people being falsely accused of crimes they didn't commit.

anyone who doesn't know that is an ignorant fool, so then they'd piss ou off about anything

Radio + Pandora = Lots of new music to get into

I like a lot of genres so they both help me find music I enjoy.

Updated by anonymous

i usually stick to metal but stumbles helps find new bands, that and friends and zune dj

Updated by anonymous

To add.

Rich people who have guitars but never play them.

One day sounding like Jimi Hendrix,the next day sounding like dog doo.

Updated by anonymous

People who think that just because you don't play/like the music they play/like, that it's an illegitimate or some how bad musical choice.

Updated by anonymous

I don't play guitar, but what do you folks think about people who can't tell one guitar from another (visually, tonally, whatever)?

Updated by anonymous

My Fender Starcaster that keeps going out.

When you're 3 minutes into a song and one of your cables go snap sizzle pop and the sound cuts out.

Updated by anonymous

I hate the douchebags that learn only solos or cool sounding parts to songs and then play them over and over in front of their friends and people who act like their better than every other guitarist because they know a few fancy songs, which took them weeks to learn.

Updated by anonymous

Electric guitar, when the strings somehow get electrified and shock you :<

My mother not realizing why a Schecter C-1 is better than the Squier Starcaster i have right now.

I'm a guitarist, six years going strong. And I absolutely hate it when someone interrupts practice just to ask me a bunch of stupid questions.

"What song is that from?" --- Its not a song, its a warmup.

"That song sucks, play something cool." --- How about I play my guitar against your head?

"Are you trying to pick up girls with that?" --- No, I'm trying to play a fuckin' guitar.

"How about I name a song and you play it for me?" --- How about, go fuck yourself?

"Can I play it?" --- Only if you have enough money to refund any expenses required to fix it, after you break it.

"How long does it take to practice before you're any good at it?" --- Depends on how many questions annoying people interrupt me with.

Just leave me alone before my amp gets shoved so far up your ass that you'll sing whenever I strum a chord. >.>

Updated by anonymous

TS is a UGer, isn't he? Groovy.

I agree with the first post.

And I also hate when people leave my room door open when I'm practicing or playing. Friggin' nobody closes the door. >:(

When guitar tabs are written wrong.

Like ----7/6---7/6 when it's supposed to be ---17/16--17/16.

When guitar solos are written wrong which is being punk'd to the max.
