David Shankle is a Douchebag

David Shankle(Formerly of the band Manowar) is a very large, childish douchebag. His large attempts at attaining a large E-Peen are likely the result of his actual penis being very small. If you want proof, here it is.

EMG Blacklisted Me...

I leave you with his poorly edited attempt at looking like a kvlt shredder, "Insanely Amazing Demonic Guitar Solo".
Enjoy!

Counter Trolling

A few months ago I wanted to troll this guy, Eric "Vampire" Devries of Vampire Guitars, about his horrible guitars.

It turned into an argument that, to me, was hilarious. Sadly, it ended rather abruptly, me responding about how he was just bullshitting and actually insulted himself, but he never replied. Yes, that is his actual email address, and he did post his actual address online it's:

 7 Gosling Street, Ballan, VIC 3342, Australia

If one person reads this, let it be someone who could use this address to aid in getting him to shut up.

Here's the conversation, completely unedited, for your entertainment/infuriation.

It is really hard to believe that he's a native English speaker.

tone woods blah tone woods good for studio recording ..great for that..when playing live on stage they aint good ..they break up when played loud...my guitars are rather toneally dead when played not plugged in but that means u can go on stage and play alot louder and sound better as the sound dont break up....i know u dpnt understand but ill take on an y guitar worth any price any time.///

for your info bernie rico guitars for example have pulled out of a challenge twice now...the sound off against an esp $10,000 guitar wasnt released because mine sounded better.

u should come c 4 your self if u have the balls

I'm not a luthier so you technically win by default.
Unless you mean the guitar I'm using, and yes, it would sound better, it isn't made out of $1.00 store cutting board, but an actual tone wood.

No, I personally prefer satin and oiled finishes over glossy. What you did there, though, it probably dampens the sound. Did you glue them there? I see no nails, and I doubt that's good for the tone, even if you used nails/screws. Steel/iron isn't the most resonant material, so it will probably dampen the effect of the body wood.

Why would you stick those on your guitars, then!? They still don't belong!
Anyway, the ones in computers serve the same purpose, the construction ones are probably made out of a stronger material, though.

...I repair computers in school, the classroom is littered with little parts that are just like that thing on your guitars.
I'm talking about the things I circled in the attached picture.
If they aren't the parts used to hold drives in a drive bay, what are they?

Your not bothering me, I'm actually enjoying this. I like taking down douche bags like you on the internet. Your just like the boss at the end of the level.

Seriously, though, I really want to know why your sticking computer drive bay parts on your guitars.

Okay, because you are giving me no proof, you are just proving that your guitars do suck, you know it, and yet you don't want to let people see that. Thank you for proving this to me, you arrogant douche bag. Unless you want to redeem yourself, if you can prove that your guitar's aren't crap, I'll make it my mission to repair your name. This is your decision, do you want to be a douche bag or a renowned luthier?

Do you have any video proof that they use your guitars? Also, who are they, really? I've never heard of them before seeing your website.
Do you have any proof, for that matter, that your guitars, in fact, do not suck? I can tell just by looking at them how shitty they are, then I watched a video that showed how they sounded, and that just proved what I had already thought.

You still haven't explained why you used computer parts.

Additionally, why are you using a free site host? I would think that a good luthier would be able to afford his on domain name, or is $8 too much the master luthier?

That's expensive! Are you delirious or do you honestly not know how shitty your guitars are?
I mean, why would you glue spare computer parts to your guitars?
