your a fool
why would i spend 30$ when i can get basically the same thing for half that?
its like shopping for something, you dont buy it the first store you see it at, you shop around and go where the deal is at
so because i want to save myself some money
i dunno about you, but i live on my own, have my own apartment (no roomates to chip in on costs) work a crappy job for 8 hours a day ( "you will have no problem finding a job in this area with this environmental sciences course"...then explain why nobody hires me because of lack of experience...how do you get hired for lack of experience if you cant get experience because you dont get hired for no experience?)
you sound like either a pubescent teenager who only has to pull mommys leg to get what he wants
or your a grown adult with to many cards up his rear
i suggest you get off your high horse and stop trying to belittle others who are giving valid suggestions to the community
to say something idiotic such as "oh he doesnt care about the art, only exposing it" proves your somebody who thinks highly of himself, and less of others, probably a social outcast.
do not speak to me unless you have something constructive to say, instead of petty jabs at my character.
First off, you are not quoting me correctly. Please read my post carefully before you quote me.
I am a grown adult, I have been through uni and all that.
I do find it interesting that you make judgment calls about my personality and life with out knowing me, but do not want me to do the same of you. I rent, I live out of home, have to support myself, work full time, train almost full time, as well as save to cover travel and training expenses for my sport etc etc etc.
To me it sounds like you have more issues that you need to deal with in order to find happiness. You don't sound like you like your job, or even the industry you are working in. You sound bitter at the people that told you it would be a good choice of course, and you feel that you've wasted your time and money doing it.
Of course I could be wrong, but that's the feeling that I get. I know that feeling too, I've only been out of Uni for 3 years or so now. It's not easy getting in to a job that you enjoy doing every day.
You are right, I do think highly of myself, and also highly of other people. I do think less of unethical practice tho such as ripping off artists who have worked hard on an effect, gimmick or routine. If you like it and plan on performing it, you should pay your dues to the creator rather than just steal the routine from them for the sake of a couple of dollars.
Of course if you could find the same product at another store for less I would say go for it, get the cheaper product. I do it, if I want a book or DVD or CD I will shop around. I'm all for competitiveness in the market place, it's healthy and forces people to be accountable for their releases.
Distortion is not a new concept, but the routines included are the creations of the respective artists. You can get the gimmick and come up with your own handling, and your own routines. There's no problem there from me at all.
Panic I think is a little different tho as it seems to be an original routine from Aaron.
Personally I don't think that going to the artist's work place and talking about how you don't need the DVDs because you've figured out the routine and just want the gimmicks is good practice. If it was my work place then I'd get pretty annoyed if people continued to do this. Wouldn't you?
