The orange KILLS if for me.

Bold: Strangely enough, my entire life revolves around this concept.

Hmmm... me too. I have about 30 black shirts, a navy blue one, a gray one, and a dark brown Guinness shirt. No light or bright colors.

I'll never play a Gibson, because their stuff is outrageously overpriced for the level of quality.

I'll never play a Marshall because they are the same way.

Tubes.

Fuck tubes.

Stupid reasons.

1.Inlays that I don't like.

2. The hologram on the universe.

3. Signature guitars.

4. Appearance, I want my gear to be something I like to look at.

5. When I get an amp I want to be able to run both lines form the 2027 into it at the same time, so any amp with just one input is out. This is more of a budget thing as I just can't afford two amps.

i have to like how things look, regardless of how great they might sound. this is a large part of why i have a bit of a thing against even considering Orange products (and i'm glad to see that i'm not alone here).

i'm not particularly interested in ever owning anything by Splawn, because of this:

1) I don't think Dime would give a shit. As a matter of fact, I think he'd be proud.
2) Dime's estate (family) probably collect royalties on each Dime product sold and it's probably a significant portion of their income.
3) Dimebag fans are the ones buying the guitars, so they're obviously glad that the products exist.

So everyone's happy. Who does it hurt?

I actually hate the advertisements more than anything.

Ah, but not that many people use a triaxis If i had a rectumfrier, then it'd be different :

Another thing I can't cope with is gold hardware. I could never buy anything with gold hardware. makes me think of sovereign rings and council estate slappers...

So you also would never own anything that says "Made for the most evil sounds ever. A tribute to satan" either, correct?

How people think money=tone/good taste/skill.

Yup. I think should henceforth blow a crapload on an amp and become one of these people
