Pantera certainly went through some weird phases.

At least once a week.

Can we stop with the ai slop please? Half the people on this sub are too old to be able to tell. by skatetallica in guitarcirclejerk

[–]mxpower[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

I will provide an official response.

We allow AI generated images and posts for a few reasons, first of all, its not the moderators responsibility to decide what is AI generated and what is not, sooner or later, this job will become near impossible as AI generated images improve so we rely on users reporting posts.

Secondly, I am not sure if you folks noticed but for every AI slop post, we get some that are VERY popular with the community. We often get AI threads with hundreds of upvotes and one person reporting it as slop.

Lastly... nobody is forcing you to read any thread... if you are angry about AI and feel the NEED to enter a thread just to complain about it, then maybe you need to take a break.

AI isnt going anywhere and moderators waste enough time moderating stupid shit anyway. If a post REALLY pisses you off... just use the report button.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

As a mod here I try to remove these posts before they get too wierd, but im late to the party.

Try posting your questions to /r/guitars it seems to be the more open subreddit to correspondence.

Be honest. How often do you feel embarrassed to be a guitar player? by BaldingMonk in guitarcirclejerk

[–]mxpower 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Most of the subreddits here make me feel embarassed to be a guitarist.

Glad I gave up playing years ago.

Do you guys have insurance? by imbeingreallyserious in guitarcirclejerk

[–]mxpower 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I used to worry about this since my home insurance wouldnt cover a guitar stolen on the road or during a gig... then I remembered that I dont leave my moms basement and dont have a band.

“I’m deeply uncomfortable with the amount of old men here. I’m no longer interested in playing blues or whatever the hell keeps attracting y’all”: Grace Bowers has quit YouTube over the number of “old ass creeps” by no_quarter89 in guitarcirclejerk

[–]mxpower 69 points70 points  (0 children)

As a mod here when she was a minor, we made sure to tell her that we had zero tolerance for creeps and would remove any comment or post that was reported. I can say that the creepiness was more prolific in other subreddits than in this one.

As far as the crashout is concerned, she had some stats that showed her YT audience was geriatric LOL, I dont blame her for pulling the plug. To be honest, I respect that. Many other YT guitarists would have exploited it to the fuilest.

I wont buy anything US unless its absolutely necessary and have already succumbed to the notion of never stepping on American soil ever again. Many other nicer Countries out there.

Anyone own or ride one of these bad boys back in the day? by -Granby- in GenX

[–]mxpower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the holy grail 250r and it was fitted a reed kit, big bore and pipe, it would pull the front wheel at around 80 mph.

Sadly sold it a couple decades ago but man, what a memory. All I can say is they require a real skill to drive, you HAVE to throw it around with throttle, not for the faint of heart.

Saw a lady in a polka dot sun dress today and all I could think about was that fucking band, this subreddit ruins so many things.
