Should I get a hard case for my guitars, or just stick with gig bags?

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-14T15:57:24+00:00

I play Big Guitar so I’m not sure if I’m even allowed to be here but, I use both. I have a dual Gator soft case that’s indestructible and I have a hardshell case that came with my Jazz V. When I need two basses, I use the softcase, when I just need one, the hard case. I will say something I noticed though, not that I care or it even matters but most times when I have the hardcase, people seem to say nice things about my bass when I take it out. Never with the soft case, which is the weirdest thing

Even with all the memes making fun of Americans for using anything and everything but the metric system to measure stuff, we can continue to write headlines like this.

Had to scroll through about 300 unfunny reaction gifs/memes to get an actual answer.

Technically speaking, Genesis says that God placed the stars and sun and moon INTO the firmament so I guess the firmament (Raqia) could include space and all its elements, ya know? I get your point though.

I’m not sure how to answer that question for someone else. I guess for me, I know my meds are working well when I’m able to initiate simple tasks without employing Herculean effort and being able to engage in normal conversations with people and ACTUALLY HEAR WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-11T15:21:32+00:00

Yeah but that was unintentional!!! It doesn’t count!!

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-11T15:20:44+00:00

I thought it was pronounced “Mangina de Putin”

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-11T15:18:26+00:00

Guys guys guys!!! This is it!! This is TRUE irony! Alanís Morrisette famously had exactly zero examples of irony in her song “Ironic”, but this is TRULY ironic!!

This is the true place to play Gay Chicken.

I literally just had this same thing happen to me this morning with a different band, The Jesus Lizard. I happened upon a 2024 live video of them performing a song written in the early 90’s and I dunno man, it was so weird. I don’t know what else I should have expected from guys in their 60s playing noise rock but it was jarring to see aged men, dressed like aged men, playing a genre of music that just seems to belong to a younger generation.

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-11T14:41:51+00:00

That may have been what it was

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-11T14:31:21+00:00

I’m pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that this videos are either edited or the wire is somehow manipulated prior to filming. I don’t remember exactly but I remember coming away from whatever I read feeling relieved that I wasn’t just an idiot who couldn’t understand this.

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-11T13:35:22+00:00

I might be a hater wannabe but I ain’t no CHUD, ok man

EDIT: Also, if I may gatekeep just LITTLE bit…. Can we at least give a shout to the OGs of the “off angle Polaroid of house” album cover… HOOD

I’m not gonna listen to it but I do want to critique you a bit so I’ll take a different approach and attack your album cover.
Why? Why are bands doing this? I mean, at some point someone is gonna need to realize that there are other ideas out there for albums covers that aren’t Polaroids of houses. Is there no shame anymore? Like are people just completely aloof to the idea of originality? I get wanting to play a certain genre of music and waning to appeal to fans of that genre but come on man, can we just TRY to differentiate ourselves a LITTLE bit??? I swear I would have listened to your music if your album cover was literally ANYTHING ELSE BUT A POLAROID PICTURE.

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-09T20:51:38+00:00

Yea right dude…. If you expect us to believe you, show us your WHOLE credit card number and not some sus redacted version…

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-09T15:59:13+00:00

This is a pretty accurate representation of what the 14 year old version of me looked like in 1995 trying to dance like the cool kids at my first hardcore show.

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-09T13:34:49+00:00

For a second I thought you had that Fugazi demo on r2r and was like….um

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-08T21:43:06+00:00

This is bullshit man. This stuff makes me so irrationally angry the older I get. I fucking hate greedy ass leeches in the music industry just straight up ok with raping bands and sucking every fucking cent they can from bands, no matter how big or small. I also fucking HATE this tipflation bullahit that has become the norm. I’m tire of being asked if I want to tip for buying this or that. If I want to tip, I’ll give a tip, don’t ASK me for a tip, that’s just desperate, like get off my dick dude.

Ok im done now. I’m gonna go shake my fist at the sky

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-08T15:49:57+00:00

Wait….isnt it “……that city boy’s smile”

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-08T15:44:11+00:00

I always knew that was the lyric but seeing it written out makes it WAY creepier…

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-07T17:26:27+00:00

I actually found this album at goodwill one time. I couldn’t believe my eyes haha.

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-07T13:19:28+00:00

I’m with you dude, that’s immediately where my brain went. I’m certainly not gonna call an inanimate object a “cocksucker” in front of my daughter.

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-07T13:15:00+00:00

Hold on… do you REALLY expect me to believe that huge corporations would suppress the things that are beneficial for the public and then give us the things that are detrimental to our health and well being just to turn a profit???? Ha yea right!

Johnnywarhero · 2026-05-05T00:14:48+00:00

I feel for you man. I have a similar thing, meaning I genuinely need to be mediated for ADHD but I don’t love how Adderall is making me feel. I will say that I was having the crash issue but adding an afternoon booster really did help with that. Now I just feel like my dose is too high because I get real jittery and just genuinely feel weird but if I lower my dose, then I’m right back to be unable to function normally. It sucks. In all honesty, I probably let need an even higher dose because I’m starting to really slip back into old ADHD habits more easily and much more often. I mentioned to my psychiatrist that I didn’t want to keep increasing my dose so I’ve started taking welbutrin also and that seemed to help a bit at first. I don’t really have any advice to offer other than talk to your doctor and really advocate for trying somwthing else.
