The video actually has its own thread somewhere.

Any person contributing here is cool with me, I don't give a shit who you are as long as that person can be respectful of other people's opinions.

Kinda like the internet tough guy thing.

I had to rep this, makes me feel pretty good that my work is being appreciated.

BTW, I sent Jesse a message a little while ago. If you don't like him having an interview here, deal with it. Take your ass to HC and STFU.

after seeing that video i actually really want one of those new rgd's. i thought they were ugly from the pics ive seen but damn that is a nice looking guitar.

and as a fan i cant wait to see what turns out with this interview

[Rick]

He hasn't told me yes or no yet, let's just keep the fingers crossed for now.

[vampiregenocide]

Why is there this big thing about Emmure and The Acacia Strain? I checked out some Emmure vids to see whether I liked em, and all the comments are pretty much Emmure VS TAS :s I've heard about a fued but I don't get it.

I am sure he is a great guy. Other people have said so, plus he plays in a band and has a Lacs endorsement.

my comment was based on my internet elitism saying he looked lost with that guitar. I still think they should have reshot it or given him a few takes before publishing it.

[Rick]

Got the interview, it now has its own thread.

Anyway, I think the guitar is pretty slick, that being said, I'm quite happy with my Agile and I plan on using it for a long time.

BTW, Jesse might be joining our little hideaway.

The responses would've been different if this was a CS for Dino...

[Rick]

I don't think everyone would like pics of a Dino LACS. Someone would find something they didn't like about it.

Remember when Slipknot first came out (along with the whole ''Nu-metal'' hype)? Remember how many people ripped on Mick Thomson and Jim Root for being 3 chord wonders with no ability to play the guitar what-so-ever?

Remember that when they actually started showing what they can do, techniques wise, most of those people shut up?

Not every band requires technical and intricate lead guitars. If it did, then every band out there might as well be called ''Born of Osiris'' or any of the bands that base their music around these things (and mind you I am a big fan of BoO).

I don't think Emmure is an awesome band, but I don't think they suck either. I like some of their rhytm parts, sometimes simple riffs can be very effective and they seem to handle that well. I just wish they moved away a little from the dissonant sounds but I'm pretty sure they'll grow over the years.

Newsflash jackass: some people prefer hardtails, is that concept so really difficult to grasp?

What the hell is wrong with you people? Who gives a shit if you don't approve of his custom or the band? It's his custom not yours. If you don't like it, save up for your own custom that you DO like. Don't think he's good enough to 'deserve' a custom? Then start a band and get endorsed yourself, that'll show 'em. This guitar wasn't built for any of you, so I don't know why this is getting so many of you upset. Who cares?

And Alex Wade is absolutely correct, this is almost the same guitar as one of Dino's customs that people flipped out over.

I don't remember Slipknot taking a ripping. Guys like Mick Thomson and Wes Borland were always respected for their ridiculous rhythm chops (I still think Mick Thomson is one of the heaviest sounding guitars ever), it was the talentless slop mongers who dragged the genre down into derision. That and Fred Durst's posturing.

[dutchguts]

Really? how did he manage this?

Smart post dude. Slipknot have become a scapegoat for people to take out their frustration of failure on. Wes Borland has written some of the biggest rhythm parts of all time. That guy has got groovus maximus

[Rick]

I just saw this on Jesse's FB page.



I like how the caption said, "here you go, ss.org"

It's a 27" one piece neckthru.

Mine wouldn't have been.

That is a nice ass shot...

Impressed it's neck through.

Nice job giving a custom to a guy that just plays acacia strain ripoff breakdowns ibanez.

[Customisbetter]

^Don't know if troll.

[Esp Griffyn]

I just read into the whole Emmure vs Acacia feud, that is some pathetic shit right there. Both bands are ....ing terrible too, go figure.

[Gitte]

Thats a nice custom
But i don't like this Acacia Strain vx Emmure thing. They both do their thing and evereybody has to exept that i guess..
music-wise i like acacia strain more but this doesn't belong here
thats a nice freaking axe

His band actually makes money. Is your band touring the country anytime soon?

I distinctly remember back in the day (I used to be a member of Taborama.com/forums if that rings a bell) they were being ripped on a lot, back when they were considered ''new bands''.

I think now, with time, people started respecting that you don't always need to play technical stuff to just write a great riff and thus they respect Wes and Mick.

lol, i just read up on some of that stuff as well. wtf is wrong with people these days? A metal diss track? really? And you guys don't think the silly comments in this thread go hand in hand with the way these bands represent themselves?

To expand on that... think megadeth. Basically any megadeth/metallica thread is going to descend into a Mustaine is a douche thread... simply because, thats the way the guy represents his band. Every interview they do, he's knocking/griefing on somebody... some bands just surround themselves with a negative aura. I happen to like the guys work, but if he didn't give off such a negative vibe and feud, argue, complain.. etc etc. his band would likely be in even better standing now and likely wouldn't attract as much hate.

I personally don't like either band, but they are decent enough and IMO they sound similar, but I'd say thats a far cry from stealing songs. There are tons of bands that sound similar, but I think it's a bit of a stretch.

[I_infect]

I remember when Vince Neil from Motley Crue challenged Axl Rose to a fight

There's no such thing as bad publicity I guess

People take sides, and it sells records

well the "ripping off" mostly happened on the bands first two LP's.

listen to acacias 3750 than Emmures goodbye to the gallows.
honestly there is only one track that is very similar (in the intro) the rest is just in a similar style.

I like both bands and don't really care about the beef.
