In Utero was one of Nirvana's worst albums - in my opinion.

I plan on opening the thread tonight. I don't have anything new but I don't care.

Biff got her new car today. They were kind enough to drop it off. It's a pretty sweet car. We'll see if she wrecks it. It's pretty quick and quite fast. The roads are wet today so she was pretty tame with the car.

The name is familiar but I have no idea who they are and I had no idea that he died.

The name is familiar. I suppose I could Google and find out who they are.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

A used Rolls is quite depreciated from it's original MSRP. So, yeah, it's just highly customized.

I'm not big on kit cars - but some of them are awesome and a great way to get into a lot of power for not a lot of money. I'm not terribly interested.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

You are correct. It's a 911.

https://www.mecum.com/lots/441972/2008-porsche-911-gt2/

And, the new Rolls is absurdly expensive. They're beautiful cars. If you get bored, watch the first 60% of the latest Jay Leno video. His is the best video on the subject that I've seen.

Also, it takes serious work to order a Rolls. You're able to order one here but they sort of expect you to fly to England at least a couple of times to formalize your order. They're very bespoke automobiles. There are no two of them made alike.

That's why I don't want a (modern) used Rolls. They're so customized that that'd be like wearing another man's underwear. They had it built for them and just them. Their taste isn't my taste.

Older models are cool. I own one of those. But, I don't want a modern used example.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

Fuck no...

I did pick a car for the week.

It's German.
I own a ton of them.
It's not a BMW.
This one is particularly sporty.
This one is kind of old - it's from 2008.
It's one of like 195 for the US market.
It's not Mercedes.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

LOL I can say that I wanted one before Leno did - or at least before he ordered it.

They're fucking awesome. If you think about a Rolls, the electricity aspect just makes good sense. You don't hear any engine noises. They're effortless to drive. They're surrounded by sound-deadening materials, especially that thick and heavy battery.

If you drive in regen mode, you don't even have to worry about the brakes. They'll last longer than the brake fluid. You're literally scheduled to replace the brake fluid before you're scheduled to replace the brake pads.

They're trivial to maintain from a drivetrain standpoint. I'm sure the rest of the shit can break and be outlandish to replace. Fortunately, they come with a warranty!

Once it is out of warranty I would hope that nothing broke. 'Cause, if it breaks it's gonna be expensive. It's going to be REALLY expensive.

Also, if you wreck it they're not going to fix it. It's just too expensive and takes too long to get repaired. While waiting for that repair work, the insurance company has to provide you with a 'like-for-like' car. It's then going to be a year before it is fixed.

So, insurance is just going to pay out and refuse to serve you any longer. They are never going to insure you again, or your premium is going to go through the roof.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

You did not tell me that story.

Jay Leno picked up an electric Rolls Royce. I'm pretty envious. They really are sweet automobiles - and they have all the range I'll need from one.

My M6 is getting old. I don't think I'll trade her in. I think she deserves to stay with me, even though I own a complete other one with like 40 miles on it from being driven by my mechanics just to keep some miles on it.

(That's something they do for me. I can't reasonably drive them all. They quite enjoy that aspect of their job.)


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

I used to have to baby my cars, 'cause they were shitty.

I no longer worry that much unless it's going to be a really expensive repair. These days, I have the luxury of pushing things to the point of breaking, but I have pretty good luck at not breaking much.

I do spend an awful lot on tires.

Also, by the time I bring things back after a week there's often some suspension checks that need to be made.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

I like to push cars to the edge of their ability. That's where you find out if it's any good. That's where you find out what's going to break. If you're at the limit, you can't really do any better. It's tough to find the limit sometimes. Sometimes the limit is a thin line.

There's a fine line between drifting around a corner and spinning out to end up in the wrong lane and facing the wrong direction. Some are easier to balance, which is nice.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

Yup. He said he wanted to get a guitar. He couldn't even name the parts of a guitar. So, if you go through the thread, he did not play any of those guitar parts and that YouTube channel is not him.

Speaking of him...

You've technically seen me drive. I am pretty sure you saw enough footage of the NEFR to see me drive. I try to keep some privacy but you've seen me drive.

Now, watch this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqumMtBjZ6U

That's kinda how I drive some of the time. That's how I like to drive, but you're not gonna do that in a Bentley.

But, this was the first video I've seen in a long time that said, "Hey, I drive like that."

In short, I'll make you puke if you ride with me long enough. I'll give you a bag but I won't slow down!

Also, I'm a bit drunk. Yes, yes I am...


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

He never shared anything. Your memory is broken. He asked about which guitar to purchase. He never said he had a guitar. I guarantee it. I'm 99.9% certain.

Put it this way, he didn't even know the parts of a guitar when he PMed me AND when he asked which guitar he might want to buy if he was going to learn to play guitar.

I'm literally 99.9% certain of this.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

LOL He did not say that to me. He was impressed with my ability to recreate and to create, but he made no comment about his ears being wet.

But, no... No, he didn't share anything in the FNGT. Also, the YouTube channel with his name isn't the same person. That's not Putt.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

I can say with 100% certainty that Putt never shared more than comments in the FNGT.

I have a 100% accurate archive made by COF that covers those years. The Poal years are also covered but our more recent activity here is not archived properly. We had someone start to do so, but they quit and disappeared.

So, no... He never shared any tracks in the FNGT (or in the guitar sub).

That much I'm 100% certain of.

I'm 99.9% sure the dude in the YouTube videos is not Putt. If you go by dates, he certainly wouldn't be able to play any of those songs in that amount of time. Additionally, they don't look the same as the pictures shared on Voat of Putt.

I don't know who's YouTube channel it is but I am 99.9% sure it's not the same Justin - just someone with the same name. That's not unusual. Even if you have a very unique name, it's statistically likely that someone else shares your name. In fact, it's almost a numerical certainty but some exceptions are going to exist for very unusual name combinations. The name Justin is quite common, as is their surname.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

They have a few other good songs, but not enough to warrant seeing them in concert. They suck in concert.

There's a dude here who's convinced that Putt plays guitar and shared in the FNGT. (He didn't. I went through the archives just to verify. I also recall him asking about learning to play and which guitar to buy - including one of his PMs to me asking about which guitar he should purchase to learn how to play.)


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

LOL We have an archive of every single FNGT on Voat. Putt participated in many but never shared anything. If he played, he'd have shared something. He even asked about learning to play the guitar on several occasions and PMed me once about it to ask for my advice. (I suggested an Epiphone Les Paul or a Yamaha of any variety if he wanted an acoustic.)


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

Notice how Putt didn't say anything to confirm it?

There are pictures of Putt. It's not the same guy, I'm pretty sure of this. Putt has reddish-brown hair and is older than the person in the video.

Also, when Putt was asking about guitar he'd never played it before. He hadn't a clue of which guitar to buy. He wasn't even sure about the names for the parts of a guitar.

He also sent a PM about it.

We have archives of every thread ever made on Voat. He's not in any of them. If he had posted, it would be in that database.

This is the only instance of his name in the archives:

https://fngt.gq/2018-archives/04-20-2018-fngt-archive/msg194/#msg194

I'm telling you, that's not Putt. You might have wanted to verify that before putting 'em in your video but it's a bit too late for that now.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

At least I'm pretty sure that's not Putt. I took a look at a few videos and thumbnails and they're not Putt.

Putt shared a couple of pictures of himself, and one of him and Atko. This person doesn't look like Putt. They just have the same name.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

That's not Putt. They just share the same name. Putt looks much different.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

It's my favorite of their songs, as well.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

Comments only, as far as I recall. He was planning on buying a guitar but I'm not sure if he ever did.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

As they should! It's a great song!


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

LOL I love them.

I feel like shit.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

I'm surprised that you covered The Doors.

If it helps, that's an old German folksong.


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

I love the song. It's one of my favorites.

It's pretty much about shagging crazy chicks. What's not to love?


/v/Guitar viewpost?postid=66357a65a7d69

Verle doesn't sound much like Jim Morrison.

Also, you can just slide from the 5th to the 7th and play it 'close enough'.
