Re: BOTR 2015: Rules and official discussion thread
I don't get some of the rigs that didn't get cut.
Old ass photos. Rigs with no guitars. Rigs with 3 guitars. Picture of just a head counting as a rig. Telling us you don't own some stuff and to picture new gear there instead.

I'm over it. I had no chance and don't really care.
Took my son to his first football game today and can't wait for band practice tommorow. Life is good.
Carry on!!!

Re: BOTR 2015: Rules and official discussion thread
Dave's rig is killer. I want to molest it.
I wasn't trying to be a dick. Sorry.
It's really cool of Billy to run this forum and I'm grateful for all the cool people and wealth of knowledge.
I don't want you guys to think I'm a jerk over some contest so I apologize for my comment above.
May the best rig win and we all have fun playing guitar!

Re: BOTR 2015: Rules and official discussion thread
It it was on and pedals wired up and forgot one cable that may be a legit grievance. Especially if some of the rigs are pics of stuff people don't even own anymore 
But hating on Billy prob won't help your cause

nah - since double barrel's had none, and I always mix these two guys up, it all balances out.

No worries, Bill, just having fun.

The three guitars would be me, I didnt really think about it, I set up the two main guitars and leaned my heater against the wall, just an oversight not a deliberate move

Is there a lot of whining going on? I'm not paying that much attention...assumed most people were joking...but maybe not.

I don't think anyone is taking this seriously, I'm not

I do like people being disqualified though because I'm an asshole and it is entertaining

...and if I gotta be cut for an old pic so be it

I'm sure it's often annoying but it's Billy's forum he can bring down the ban hammer whenever he sees fit too.

It's a well known fact that I do not joke.

well you have 4 kids going on 5 so you have a pretty good idea... just multiply it by 1-200, increase the average age to 35, remove the family relation and make the crying about even pettier things than what your youngest cries about and you got your picture. It's all good though. Uncle Owl is here for you all.
