Those are vinyl pants though, not jeans. Also "sunglasses" sure, but those specifically are chromed oakleys.

Satriani isn't even that good for this kind of goofball guitar player. I know he taught some other people, but his own stuff is boring as hell, Surfing With the Alien excluded. Once you learn to do that pinch-harmonic trem-bar raise thing it stops being impressive, and he does it in every song. The rest of the clip is just stock pentatonic blues patterns :effort:

I've never gotten into the whole G3 thing with Satch or Vai or any of them, and while I get that Satch is a really talented guitarist I'm always left wondering: Why does he dress like such an idiot all the time?

He dresses exactly like you would expect a guy who makes his music to dress.

No guilt, it feeds in plain sight
Most people pick up the guitar to impress chicks, but the best guitarists just want to wear goofy, ostentatious outfits.





Edit: Except Tosin Abasi. He dresses pretty normal.

Guthrie Govan however, dresses like a deeply boring crusty hippy, despite being probably the best rock guitarist alive

I guess I didn't just figure it out, but I was just informed that the Awful Yearbook is still up. What a wild era that was. I think it was mostly sexual harassment and dunking on people in the style of the times.

That's why I was always a bit confused at the Loosechanj thing, seems like literally everyone was doing it.

Were mods held to a higher standard back then? That actually wouldn't be a bad thing.

I mean, I guess. I don't think there's that much difference in this case, Loosechanj was obviously doing 'funny' semi-ironic trolls as well, which was the style at the time.

If I were a fat person who posted their picture on the Yearbook and they made fun of me for eating everything in the world, that would hurt more than someone leaving a comment with a horny emoji in it, but I suppose it's all subjective.

Yeah, but they were obviously meant as throwaway 'jokes' as well. Although I looked it up just now and it is a little worse than I remember:

The Yearbook was just a bad idea all-around.

e: the mosquito one is so dumb and inappropriate it actually made laugh a bit. At Loosechanj

e2: these read almost exactly like r/gonewild comments, he was just ahead of the curve and on the wrong site.

It's a really bad idea, it's much funnier to burn somebody over their terrible opinions than staring at pictures of completely average humans and desperately trying to find something about their face to hang a joke on. It eventually becomes like 'ahhh your eyes are a little bit off center lol owned neckbeard'

It's the same with the majority of those really old GoonCon pictures. It's mostly just people standing around, maybe a little more overweight and a little less attractive than the general population, but honestly not by much. I just shrug when I see them.

All the people vomiting in idiosyncratic ways are the exception, of course.

Batten down the hatches saying is from when ships had bat infestations and closing the hatches often meant using a club to fight off the disturbed bats.

Yeah, you know how Blackbeard used to put lit fuses in his beard to intimidate people? Lots of pirates would keep bats under their hats and let them fly out for dramatic effect. That's also the origin of the term "batter", which is what they called the clubs you'd use to get the bats out.
