This is a funny ad, but I must take exception to their diss of Journey!!! I guess we're all only 10%'er's!!! I say we flood the guitar center with nasty email's and picket their store's this Friday!!

Fuck them. A LOT more than 10% of me loves Journey. Bastards. I will not be buying from them this Christmas. They need to revise that shit.

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.

What morons!

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.

I guess they say no publicity is bad publicity...

Yeah, there ya go.

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 ) when hubby needed new strings. He'll just have to find some other place now, lol.

Wow, 10 percent? That's pretty good for GC.

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.

OMG, that's funny.

I almost threw mine out.

Thanks for the heads up.

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.
