This is a collection of rants and raves about people hating guitars and guitar players.
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.




"Not really, but I do hate guitar players, ESPECIALLY if they're good. This could be a knee-jerk reaction to that fact that I personally suck at guitar, but I can't be alone here. Don't you hate the sight of some cocksucker wincing on stage, as if "shredding" or "ripping" or whatever is painful? And don't tell me that stupid look these bozos get on their faces has something to do with "feeling it" or "their art" or whatever. There's nothing artistic about shredding. It's guitar-athletics. It's basically being Bo Jackson, only with your fingers. These fucking guys."
Sounds a bit jaded to me



"I HATE GUITARS WITH A PASSION. ONE LESS F** GUITAR IN THE WORLD! I GO TO GARAGE SALES, FLEA MARKETS, ETC, I'LL FIND A GUITAR OR TWO, OR THREE A MONTH, BRING 'EM HOME AND SMASH AWAY!! BY THE WAY, GUITARS MAKE GREAT FIREWOOD. THE OLDER ONES IGNITE FAST AND BURN QUICKLY. THE LAST ONE I TORCHED WAS A STUPID LOOKING ORANGISH COLORED CONTRAPTION MADE IN JAPAN. IT HAD THOSE PLASTIC (NYLON?) STRINGS THAT GO TWAAMP-PFFT WHEN TOUCHED WITH A LIT MATCH. BURNED FOR A 1/2 HOUR!"
I don't even know what this guys problem is.



"My brother got it a couple of weeks ago and he's been begging me to give it a try at least since then. Well, I won't, I hate guitars anyway. I'm not missing much, am I? "
A guy referring to Guitar Hero.




“I hate guitars,” adds Polar.

“Maybe this is why we get along,” continues Geist. “I love how you will come out and say you hate guitars. I remember when 808 State played here in the ’80s for the first time for CMJ or something, I remember someone interviewed them and they said that guitars should just get holes drilled in them and smashed, and I remember thinking that was pretty cool, too. We also all grew up in rock environments where we felt a tiny bit alienated”
Morgan Geist, Darshan Jesrani and Kelly Polar lamenting disco's continued persecution.



"...i hate belts, i hate buttons, i hate laces, i hate jars, i hate flashlights, i hate roads, i hate diaries, i hate icons, i hate desktops, i hate guitars, i hate nuts, i hate lighters, i hate glasses, i hate shoes, i hate islands..."
An excerpt from a whole page. Obviously a very angry guy.



"I hate guitars.Nowadays I just stick my fingers into the back of my valve amp and wiggle them around. Makes me real popular with the girls.Theres nothing like real hands-on control over your sound. They say tone is "all in the hands" and I now couldn't agree more.My next project is a new earbud which connects to a standard jack cable. This will allow direct manipulation of the amp through my brain.
etc."
Sarcastic reply to a guy talking about the violin being the best instrument.



"I just can’t see any reason not to buy a ukulele instead of a guitar. Thousands have already discovered the joy of playing ukulele. I made this site to share my knowledge, and make sure that you also get the chance to enjoy the rhythm, music and fun I had playing my ukulele."
Not sure if this gut is serious or not.



"I think it is the most boring instrument, and I can say with and without hostility that I hate guitar players generally. The complicated part lies in that I find that I play guitar everyday: It is the only instrument that I am even halfway proficient at, I largely do all of my band's songwriting on it, and in the last couple of years, play it for a living. (I wonder if this means I am boring and then hate myself too. Don't worry you aren't the first person to agree with that statement.)"
A clearly confused individual.



"I dislike guitar players because they tend to post in UG, and UG is totally lame."
Maybe he has a point.
