Eric Johnson PWNS!!!!

Last time I was in a guitar center, I was playing Death and some guy came up to me running and screamed DEATH FUCKING RULES, BUT STANDARD TUNING DOESN'T!!! All guitars are standard-tuned at that shop, so Flesh and the Power it Holds was all peepee'd.

erm... Johnson is alright. if anything Hammet is OVERrated.

and btw, roflolocaust at not knowing that Dover is a real place? My faith in the educational system falls yet another notch, if that's even possible.

sorry to stray from the topic, but what does 'PWNS' mean?

I'd be pretty amazed if Eric Johnson 'PAWNs' his very collectable gear.

hahaha, basically Pwn is another variation of the word own. Its usually used by computer nerds but alot of people are starting to use it now, hehe

pwn is either pronounced powned or pooned...you can make up your own to, it doesnt matter, heh
 
well, owned is one of the many terms that came from the game everquest, it orginally was

O-h
W-hat
N-ow?

But owned makes sense after you kill someone or something.

Then one day some lazy bastard made a typo and pressed p instead of o and tried to convince everybody it was the new way to spell it. Well it worked...

Lots of things have been made on games, in fact on diablo 2 i invented

;&#172;)>--<8====D~

most people dont know about that one except for uber computer nerds.

always thanks to shit like myspace, everybody uses the term now.

I think I can only agree. When I saw the 'pwns' in the topic i thought typo, but when I saw it again in the actual post, my initial thought was 'degenerate'.
 
"pwn" and all it's variations are so overused they're not even funny to see anymore.

Do you even know what you are talking about? When Kirk recorded his sloppy solos on say, and justice for all, there were a dozen other guitarists at that time that could actually play in sync and had much better feel and technique. Metallica was always about Hetfield's riffs not fuckin' Kirk's pentatonic scale solos...

What makes me dislike him even more is the fact that there are so many illiterate people around that praise him like a guitar god. Although that's not his fault i guess =]
 
I have Ah Via Musicom on MP3 and it is really good stuff. I wanted to see him with Satch but the tickets were too expensive for me. :erk:
 
it was a good show. maybe a bit short for the money...but i have seen EJ and Sach so many times it didnt matter. Eric only played for about an hr. But just to see him on stage is such a treat. Sach was also good. i wanted a track off SBM but nothing...thats ok good times had for sure.

Do you renamber roughly when it ended?


I cant seem to find the end time anywhere on the internet.

(sux not having a car, i have to prearrange someone to pick me up...)
 
The show was yesturday, i have have to say it was pretty badass.

The guards were being gay and preventing anybody from getting up front. But right before the encore, me and my friends rushed them and i got right up to the stage. The bastard next to me caught a pick which i wanted though...


and nicko mcbrain (drummer from iron maiden) was in the audience and i got to meet him, so that was cool.
