I'm glad I live too far from their store to even consider buying anything from them. Now it gives me more of an excuse, sucks for them cause I'm needing a new guitar amp. :roll:

What morons! :shock:

Hey, 10% of me is looking at the bright side. At least they mentioned Journey. To 10% of me that means more than 10% of the ad writer still likes more than 10% of Journey. :P

Eh, no big, 10 percent of the employees at my guitar center actually know what they are talking about, so i dont go there. I prefer RIT music, a local shop, the back of which is home to Langjens guitars.

I agree. I think we've been to the one in Winter Park (at least I think that's a Guitar Center? lol, I'm sure you know :wink: ) when hubby needed new strings. He'll just have to find some other place now, lol.

Yeah, I agree. That's a lot compared to many groups from those years that are barely making it or long ago split from the scene altogether.

I didn't see Styx or anyone else making the ad, so how is it a bad thing that Journey got mentioned? 10% sounds kind of high anyway.
