Re: Axe FX 2

Whilst I don't own an Axe FX, (not because I can't afford one) I am definately NOT anti about them. I have never used one, but judging by it's specs and other peoples opinions I'm sure it is a great product. I do own an 11R and as you said, for me, it serves my purpose well and I'm very happy with it. I'm not a professional musician so the expense just doesn't justify itself in my case. The only reason I've lept into this subject a few times is because I can't stand the holier than thou attitude of some people who own (or want to own) certain products and seem to align owning them with their self esteem and often think they are or will be a better musician for possessing such equipment. Their insecurity in doing so just leaves them open to a good prodding because they are simply making a fool of themselves! From my 30 years in the music industry, I've never seen a good musician that can't make any piece of gear sound good and a great musician make anything sound absolutely fantastic. Therein lies the often overlooked true meaning of what a gifted musician is....their attitude towards their craft & the humility displayed in performing it.

And if you carried on like that in a business where you said those types of things about management and the world could see it how long do you think you would last in that job? It's also strange that after I posted that message here it was deleted on the Axe FX forum - I wonder why? So my post had the desired effect - whether it was actually because of me posting here or the moderator deciding it was undesirable to have that sort of post floating around is arguable . Now seeing that the message was deleted does this mean that Cliff was banned from his own forum? In the hobby/lifestyle I've chosen it's been often said that the attitude of the teacher does affect the attitudes of the students. So the attitudes of Cliff's is being reflected at large by his acolytes in "The Gear Page", in fact, he himself posts there as well. I've seen people who think they are superior just because their teacher is such and such, the look on their face when they end up on the floor ... priceless. So, if Cliff doesn't have a thick enough skin to deal with a couple of niggling posts then for the love of guitars get out of this business. I can't repeat some of the things people have said to me over YouTube, for instance questioning my sexual activity and dietary habits, but, life goes on.

Re: Axe FX 2
Props to Cliff for his product.
OTOH, it's hard to imagine all the drama surrounding the product without the cult of personality. I'm not saying that Cliff has fostered that cult, but it's pretty clear (from my own observations) that he's done little to discourage it. I agree with zedhed: Cliff should find someone else to be the public face of the company. |
