risingson Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1354826542' post='1891046'] Bring this Sprog before me when he has walked in the Desert for a while and I might survey his work. [/quote] That's the attitude that I DON'T agree with whatsoever. This kind of remark would have crushed me when I was 14 years old, luckily now I'm a bit older and understand that youngsters have the right to enjoy the right to play music without older generations stifling and critiquing their musicianship every step of the way with the 'walk the desert' talk. The part of this thread that I disagree with is the format at which he is being presented to me, frankly I think it's a massive downer when I see comments like this one. Whether it's jealousy or bitterness I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I'm just not standing for this crap where people come on and ask for this nonsense Jealousy, bitterness? well of course, I'm an adult, so I'm riddled with it. But I don't look for others endorsement of it. Edited December 6, 2012 by Billy Apple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you're riddled with jealousy and bitterness then give some thought to if you had a son or daughter of this age, who knows, maybe you do. The trial by fire thing is total bollocks and no, I won't endorse it, it's a shame it is entertained in this context at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
