I miss AmpGuy

Post by RodC » Fri Oct 12, 2007 12:26 pm

He must really be working hard on his next submission. Maybe hes in some distant land playing Geetar to some native hittin somthin with somthin else.

AmpGuy where are you, do they not have the interweb where you are?

Here's ampguy's last post: http://messageboard.tapeop.com/viewtopi ... ht=#392459

I scanned it for hints of finality, but the reality is that he left us with no warning and gave us no closure. It kinda reminds ya how precious it all is. One day you log in and ampguy is gone. Sob

EDIT: His mp3 index has one from June 2007 ... and then ... nothing.

I smell a tribute album.

(not even gonna say it)

I briefly alluded to whois, but then got off the track and pulled the post. Anyway, what's that Oscar Wilde quote about "All bad art springs from genuine feeling" or whatever?

Bump.

That Dvorak 'jam' is still one of the most consistently hysterical things I've ever heard.

Where he at???

I never laughed so hard. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on, but then I couldn't stop laughing. So funny.

I've been hearing rumors on the internets that ampguy can play the whole first section of Yes's "Close To The Edge" blindfolded. :shock:
