yeah i remember, his guitar buzzed like crazy or something when he tried to shield the harness with lead tape. it couldn't be a bad solder joint or anything because if his soldering skills are like his guitar playing skills then the wiring would have no flaws at all. :laughing7:
i loved the one where he wound pickups on a record player, oh and when he didn't realize people were mocking him which was most of the time, and the arguments with dbw about why his typing was so bad.. he was a total tool but it was entertaining.

Haha! That dude is awesome. I wish I could have been around when he was. I loved where he doesn't care about his spelling and grammar mistakes and then goes on to say that he types 140wpm like he's got mad typing skills. Ha!! If I didn't care about my spelling I'd could probably do 200wpm. Hahaha!!!!

I think I figured it out.
Confederate wookie is relative of Ed Roman.
They are both a lot alike.
Spouting off total Bull shi! about gear off the top of their head.
Ed Roman is funny to watch though. He says this stuff with complete confidence and if your dumb enough you might believe him.

BTW - was he actually (trying to) playing a song or just making noise? I saw he was wearing a Metallica T-shirt, so
I was trying to pick out anything familiar, but I didn't recognize anything. To bad his Mom didn't bust in at the mid-way
point vs. the end. :doh:

So was he the same guy as Confederaterawk, who kept boasting about his 24000 watt rig? (sorry if you're a different guy and you're still on here. If you are, you're a funny bird, in the best way possible. :redflag: )
And who was the guy who posted a video of himself naked and oiled shredding with his full stack in his bedroom? :doh:

I think Ed Roman is a smart guy. He certainly doesn't know everything, and I don't always agree with his opinions, but I give credit where it's due. He does seem to be a bit of a snob when it comes to guitars, but I'm from the old EVH frankenstrat school of guitar thought. If it sounds good, and is comfortable to play, that's all that matters to me. Some of the nicest guitars I've ever seen are Warmoth builds. I don't care about all that snobbish "prestige" crap, but I have learned a lot from reading Ed Roman's website.

Sure, Ed's got a lot of knowledge, I don't think anyone would argue that, it's just that he's such a tool about everything. It seems to me that certain companies didn't want to deal with him, and rightly so considering how outspoken he is, and when that happens he turns on them quicker than Sinatra after a third martini. I know if I had a multi-million dollar company I sure wouldn't want Ed Roman as my spokesperson.

i dont like ed roman but what i got out of that is that ernie ball is a bunch of douche bags. but copy rights are copy rights and it's within there power. still love there instruments but dont think id buy one new as i dont want to give them my money. on a related note, i wish i could still buy a vw from warmoth

i just get the impression that they go around sueing anyone that builds guitars that look like there own, custom builders copy famous guitars all the time. i guess as big as ed romans name is it's understandable, this isn't a guy in his garage but it's not exactly high volume either these are built per order. being that they claim he sold olp guitars as ernie ball guitars if it is true then he got what he deserved, that's wrong of him on so many levels. but the part that i really dont understand is that he is not allowed to speak about the quality of the parts in ernie ball guitars. what ever happened to freedom of speech? how can you legally tell a person that they are not allowed to express an opinion about anything?
