GUITAR PLAYERS AGAINST BUSH

[noahmijo]

I know The Professor with me on this one. The fact that when one thinks of a guitar scorn and shame is probably the first thought.

This is a travesty to guitar players and guitars worldwide to have been given this horrible image since Nero had to fiddle on one damning all that we hold holy in the Wild Stringdom.

Understand we guitar players are mortified that this man was allowed to pose with a guitar and we demand that any guitar this punk touches be immediately smashed as it will be considered a mercy killing for the poor instrument.

1. ROLF- Count me in

The idiot was playing a G chord on the THIRD fret.
Maybe he had an invisible capo to match his
imaginary Emperors New Clothes?
BHN

[noahmijo]

5. I noticed that too....it was the invisible "freedom" fret

[Fozzledick]

46. My impression is that someone showed him the finger position

...but he didn't understand the fret position and never actually strummed it or he would have heard the difference. :scared:

Then again, he never listens to anything anyway. :shrug:

[BillZBubb]

6. My first thought was how did that moron learn the G form?

Yes, he was playing it in the wrong position (what else), but he had the form.

I hope it was an accident, because I don't want old shit for brains being a guitar player--we are better than that.

[BringEmOn]

21. Waddya mean...put my finger on the G-string?

[Generic Other]

10. Yeah, bad form!!

[Misunderestimator]

14. LOL!

:thumbsup:

[walldude]

34. LMAO... beautiful!

[Blue_In_AK]

15. My husband said, "He's playing a G chord,"

I said, "Look again." ** is an idiot. Doesn't he know that Amurika is awash in guitar players?

[louis-t]

16. Uh, he was playing it on the 4th fret.

G is supposed to be on the 3rd fret.


Don't mention it.

[BeHereNow]

20. Picky, picky...

You KNOW what I meant.
Hey, are you one of those "a gazillion notes per minute"
equals "good" players?
Snarkingly yours,
BHN

[ProfessorGAC]

31. No, That Would Be Me

Hey, i'm the shredder around here. And, proud of it. Of course, i can always slow down.
The Professor

[walldude]

35. Lol...

I'm a blues/rock player and in order to cover for our technical shortcomings we bluesy guys claim that shredders have no feel. Goddamn John Petrucci had to come along and crap all over that arguement.

[ProfessorGAC]

38. Hey, What Can I Say?

You cannot trust a shredder. I don't even trust me.
The Professor

[BeHereNow]

43. If you have the "right" hair, you can get away with it I suppose...

SNARK-
:evilgrin:
I've always held to the philosophy that
music is what happens BETWEEN the notes.

Speaking from a woman's point of view;
a woman who can not help but notice the
fact that certain guitar players I have known tend
to over compensate certain physical limitations
with the notes per minute technique...
Like I said...
:evilgrin:
BHN

[louis-t]

52. They call me "Slowhand".

[0rganism]

49. Could've been playing with an open tuning

Not that I would've figured Georgey for a slack key player, but you never know until you ask the guitar.

[louis-t]

53. The guitar hasn't been able to speak since

shithead put his greasy mitts all over it.

[EnfantTerrible]

24. A G chord is played on the 3rd fret...

am I missing something?

[hwmnbn]

2. Right on!!....

someone should take that guitar and run a Pete Townsend on *s ass!!

[wtbymark]

3. when I first saw the pic

I said if he touched one of my guitars, I'd beat him over the head with it! lol

[BeHereNow]

4. My thought too-

I'm not finicky about letting
other people play my guitars, but if he ever came
NEAR one of my babies, I'd go beserk!
BHN

[ProfessorGAC]

30. I'd Hook A 440 Triple Phase Line To Mine

And then encourage him to touch it. Bzzzzz! Zowie! Hey, Silverspoon. Don't touch my stuff.
The Professor

[Bake]

7. Add me to the list!

I'd never let that smirky s.o.b. get his fingers on my Martin!

Bake

[walldude]

8. We meet again noahmijo!

Too bad you are not in Colorado... I will PM you later, maybe we can work together across state borders on some music. Music to impeach by... hehe

I also wondered what that 3rd fret G chord was he was playing.

Mere mortals should not be allowed to touch one of these:

[noahmijo]

17. Hell yea I am down!

I am a little rusty right now since I have been back into it seriously for only a few months after 4 long years of college and not nearly enough practice and improvement.

However I use garageband to record riffs and little mini songs here and now that I can easily convert into mp3's for trade and so forth and well I no longer have any jam partners out here in Tucson so anytime man! next time I have a chance to sit down and crank out a cool piece or something you'll be the first to get it.

[KansDem]

9. I actually thought he was flipping the finger...

...and trying to be "cute" about it.

[TomPainesBones]

11. DRUMMERS THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!

Bush has destroyed the integrity of the guitar!

Rise up Drummers! This is our chance to smash the oppressive reign of guitarists once and for all!

Your time is OVER Guitarists!

Hail the new heroes: The Drummers!

Untainted by the evil that is Bush!


:-D

[noahmijo]

22. drummers want to rise up. I say bring em on

DAMMIT! we HAVE been tainted! ahhhhh!!

I love Portnoy though

[walldude]

42. LMAO!!! Obviously you have been to some of the

same jam sessions as me. 100 guitar players, 2 bass players and 1 drummer.

[CityZen-X]

12. Bu$h*t Bayou

[MamaBear]

13. Fourth Fret Man

It oughta be on the third. Try to play it his way. Makes a nasty sound. Just like his whole damn administration.

What a total waste of what looks like a nice instrument. Sort of like our country.

[leftofthedial]

18. It is no longer a perfectly good guitar

to quote another guitar player

I'd smash it if it came into my possession.

then burn the splinters.

that is, unless I was free to shove it up a particular orifice I have in mind for it first.

[Igel]

44. Cutaway? Steel string?

Perfectly good guitar?

At least it had a spruce top.

[BringEmOn]

19. The Anti-Woody Guthrie

[VOX]

23. Good one, BEO!!! n/t

[LunaSea]

41. I'm with you on that-

[ZombieNixon]

25. Please count me in.

Bush is no guitar player, even if he wanted to be.

[Dudley_DUright]

26. May I suggest that next time Bush is given a guitar, it should be done

El Kabong style:

[Must_B_Free]

27. I'm shaking my whammy bar in anger!

[DanCa]

28. Harmonica players fall in .

Dont laugh you can't play springsteen without a decent harmonica player.

[ProfessorGAC]

39. That's Ok By Me

Don't want to play any Bruce. But, in fact, i know three REALLY good harp players. One of them played with Travis Tritt for about 8 years. Another played with a band in Austin (he was from the same town as me, but moved to Austin to play with a band that was really good friends with Asleep at the Wheel. His band's name, however, escapes me.) And, we've got a pal who hangs at the jam nights who's a pretty darned good player too. Not as good as the other two guys, but pretty good.

I like playing harp, too, but i don't like the maintenance. When they start getting sticky, i lose interest, and then the things sit for 6 months.

But, you can join our Guitarists Against Bush. (G.A.B.) Any musician qualifies. Obviously, Silverspoon is no musician.
The Professor

[ProfessorGAC]

29. You Are Correct Sir! I'm With You!

That picture makes me want to puke every time i see it. And for a day, it was on the home page here at DU! Oh, the horror.

Actually, since some of the Katrina victims are being moved north, i suggest we burn those guitars touched by Silverspoon in a pot bellied stove to keep the poorest of the victims warm this winter.
The Professor

[GoddessOfGuinness]

32. Mr GoG concurs...Does anybody have the pic of * "playing"?

The reason I ask is because the guy standing next to him looks appalled in the pic...terrified that his baby is about to be smashed by the pretzeldent, and ready to catch it if it does.

Am I wrong?

[ProfessorGAC]

33. No, That's Not What Happened

The guy standing next to him gave him the guitar as a gift. He's got a big grin on his face. So, it's one dumb ass giving a guitar to a bigger dumb ass.
The Professor

[walldude]

37. Yeah it's some Country and Western dude

He plays both kinds of music, Country.. And Western!


on edit- Mark Wills is his name.
Funny, I typed Bush and Guitar into Google and got 7000 Bush songs in tab.. had to change it to George Bush to get the other losers name.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

40. Ah here it is...photoshopped by GO, but you can see the guy's face...

The guy may have been thrilled to give him the guitar; but he still had his hands positioned to catch it...

[BringEmOn]

36. Pickin' and smirkin' while people are dyin'

[rocktivity]

45. Where's the gig? Sign me up!

There's going to be a concert after the rally in DC Sept 24. Maybe we can all get onstage and play something. We could call ourselves IMPEACH-A-PALOOZA!

:headbang:

[HEAVYHEART]

47. I'm so glad you posted this

I was starting to feel guilty. I've been dreading my shows this week because of fuckface playing guitar. Thanks for posting this...

[Ezlivin]

48. It breaks my heart to see them stars, smashing a perfectly

good guitar.

I wonder what John Hiatt would have to say about this colossal waste of a guitar?

The picture makes me want to just pitch my guitar into the ditch. Does * have to fucking ruin every good thing in the world?

[0rganism]

50. He wouldn't be the first poser with a guitar

Someday, bush'll be faced with a life-or-death gittar showdown, cutting heads against Steve Vai in the pits of Hell, and Vai will lay down some crazy-ass chops. George will then pull out his G-chord, put it on the wrong fret, and Satan will devour his tiny soul in one gulp.

[bagimin]

51. ever play a g chord on 3 fret?

nothing sounds more disonant....used to do that on stage for a laugh

[HEAVYHEART]

54. Kick for the weekend crowd!! n/t
