SimonEdward Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 ... This is just such an amusing thread... yet, at the same time unbelievably tragic!! IMHO as well as having some expensive + very loud gear (sic) - surely, when in a band you've got to be able to [u]like[/u] the people you're gigging with ?!?!

mildmanofrock Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'd wager this band has/had Scientology connections. The word 'upstat' and anti-drug proclamations are a bit of a giveaway. Not necessarily a bad thing, but Google throws up some, er, interesting information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimryan Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Seriously WTF!?! Ok the ad tickled me. However, only an svt or something to stand up against a 4x12? When building my 1x15 cab, I had to test it, so I took the "head" out of a 10w Ibanez practice amp to see if it all worked. It did, and loudly. So until I got my TC head, that's how I ran it. It drowned out guitarists with 4x12s no problem and now that I've my little BH250 running it, it's insanely loud. What tickled me in the "attacked" website link was the "mark was wrongfully targeted by an insane dictator" seriously? That cannot be genuine, can it? My mistake if so. Maybe he was unaware he was an extra in the making of "the dictator" film or something. And this, just noticed this: 22. Wrongfully misquoted on the Internet, when Mark Percy was computer illiterate and Internet unaware for years, and subjected to these abuses unawares. "When Mark Percy WAS computer literate".

ThomBassmonkey Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 His website reads more like he's a paranoid schizophrenic than a serious musician. Between the constant flicking between first and third person and all the conspiracy theories, it doesn't look like it's been produced by someone that takes his craft seriously and wants to make a good impression.

This van had brand new tyres made by Continental. It may have been stolen to order". [/quote] I beg to differ - I think this is my favourite quote: "I became more impressed with his serious practice regime at the keyboards, and his continuing advancement as a keyboardist, and a writer, and lyricist, and also as a guitarist, capable of the most phenomenal chord stretches, producing astounding voicings, and emotions in his guitar playing, beyond what normal guitarists can do. Michael Corby, is vastly intelligent, and an enormously capable musical, military and political strategist, and an astounding planner and architect of projects and occurrences.Upon his explanations, it dawned on me the vastness of his planning and designs, and profound thinking, from his early formative years, stretching all the way through his career. I began to take his recommendations seriously."

Joking aside, from the guy's website, it's fairly obvious that he's got some 'issues'. Would it be just as acceptable to take the piss out of someone posting an ad on here, if they had any other illness?
