I'm with you 100% on that. However, you did say you get sick of the discussions already here, so why not have a poll about something else? It's a discussion, and without discussions this place dies. Maybe we should have a thread about things people want to talk about... I know RR autographs wouldn't be on my list.
Yeah to keep the place active we need to discuss topics, but hopefully keeping them fresh and not dull, old repetitive stuff that has just resurfaced in a new thread. Thats why i told the newbie Nickolas to go through the archives to bring up anything he finds interesting. I've got all the time in the world for young kids who want to learn. So why do you think i'm here to be the king pin or are you still upset after the last skirmish with your mate Frank. OK you like talking about guitar theory i like talking about RR collectibles including buying autographs. It's my hobby. I buy and sell Rock memorabilia. Check out the 'Forgeries Fakes & Facsimiles' thread. It was started up by Joe on my request and look how popular its been. I've stopped many person being stung by rip off merchents and fans that come here have actually bought items from me. They've ended up owning something from RR in the shape of his signature. It's probably the only thing of any value you could own that came from Randy's own hand. I don't want to bore you about it as it ain't your thing.

Funny how you claim to NOT be obsessive, yet aren't you the one selling overpriced autographs and presenting yourself as an authority on collectibles?
How does that make me an obsessive, do i have a RR room ? do i buy everything that has his image printed on it ?. No and no.. i collect Rock/ HM memorabilia not just RR related i have collectible items from all the 70's 80's to present day artists. I've got some knowledge on collectibles, but i'm no expert.

You're right, a poll is trivial, but if it gets kids talking about Randy, then it's good. I've been a fan for 30+ years, so I know about liking something for a long time. You, sir, are old and condescending towards young people. I've apologized in the past for being acerbic, but you want everyone to think you are such an authority and then you talk down to the one kid here who is trying to learn all he can about the guy you call your 'idol'.
Who's talking down to the lad ?, i'm explaining to him how the thread is 'not going where he thinks it's going'. well saying that you've come along and started your hissy fit AGAIN...do you need Frank for back up or shall i just 'agree to disagree'. Acerbic my arse your just shit stirring Paul and trying to return the argument we had the other week. I couldn't give a toss how it goes but your adamant your going to have the last word.

Ian & Skezza found better things to do and all the other old timers walked away from this place. Now you an Stiltzkin seem to think you are the kings of the hill. I was here before you, and less than a month after Stiltzkin. For that matter, this place was barely 6 weeks old when I was asked to join. So, Shawn, get off your fucking high horse. Go sell your crap on eBay and quit lying at Ultimate Rhoads.
Ian is now a moderator over at the Rhoadies FB page. He's probably sick of your persistent BS. But he's probably full of work and he's just moved into a new house and the guy is a mate of mine. Joe (skezza) is a very good friend of mine and he probably couldn't give a toss if this site fell on its arse tomorrow. He was here when the site went down and revamped the look of the place and hasn't been active here for a long time. 'By the way Joe Happy birthday dude'.
So i now have to walk in your shadow.. yeah ok sorry Sir.. hang on a moment can you give me a hand down, this fkn horse is way too high.
I don't sell crap mate, its all quality, ask the guys on here who've bought stuff from me. All my auctions have started at low affordable prices i cannot predict how much the auctions end at. Remember the competitions i had here years ago i supplied all the prizes for free. That's me trying to do something good for the fans here. I'm lying ??? when do i ever do such... Hang on a minute i'll throw that out to every member here, not you ok. Am i a liar ?.
