Here’s one that brings my piss to a boil, people who play guitar covers of certain songs but are too f***ing lazy to tune their guitar properly so they just play the song in standard tuning. Here’s some examples.

(played in E, supposed to be in Eb)

(played in E, supposed to be in D)

(played in E, supposed to be in C#)

Stuff like this would’ve been acceptable 25 years ago, when internet was practically a sperm and you had to analyze the songs by ear (or occasionally a TAB book) to see how to play it. But since nowadays, you can just look up a live performance from the band and find out what tuning they played in, as well as what chord positions they used, what gives.

Mothers who dislike the Beatles…  

My paternal grandparents hated The Beatles, as well as any Rock And Roll Music and they made us eat our vegetables. I hate them too.

Here’s two that piss me off a lot. First of all, I hate when people refer to The Beatles as a pop group, but that’s not the main one. What really makes me want to grab Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and hit Rocky Raccoon in the balls with it is this, there are actually people who think that The Beatles are for girls and I’ve even heard them being compared to groups like NSync and One Direction. To all of us male fans, I say that I am offended and we should all be. The Beatles were a group that brought everyone of all ages, races, and genders to the table and gave them music they could all love, male or female, black or white, gay or straight, 2 or 42, they loved The Beatles. My maternal grandparents were born in 1921 and 1922 and both liked The Beatles while they were still alive (not as much as my mother or her brothers, but still) and I was born in 1967 and I liked them while they were still around. Sure, there were those 17-year old women back in 1965 who thought Paul was so cute and would scream at the their lungs just so he could hear them, while in return, ruining the show for the people who are there to listen to the music, but there were also males who genuinely enjoyed their music and some of these people even turned into musicians themselves. The only reason that people ever thought that they were for girls was because they screamed at the concert, whereas the males were there to listen to the music and just the thought of them being compared to NSync or One Direction just makes me sick, as neither of these bands play their own instruments (you could make some argument about The Monkees here, but that was only for their first 2 albums because their manager refused for them to play their own instruments) and I wouldn’t be surprised if these bands said to hell with playing instruments and just used a computer for everything except vocals and put auto tune on their voices (this final comment is more aimed at One Direction). Final point, The Beatles are not girl’s music and are nothing like NSync, The Backstreet Boys , New Kids On The Block, One Direction, etc.
