that's brilliant. It won't get his busted guitar fixed, but it could lose them a lot of customers if he hawks it round the right places. My favourite bit of song writing in here is: I heard all your excuses Chased all your wild gooses ....... classic country stuff ... reminds me of the Elderly Brothers ::) ;) James Title: Re: Revenge is sweet Post by: Wyatt on July 09, 2009, 04:30:41 PM Hey, Mario that's brilliant.

They are also considering using the video as a “handlers training film” according to CNN.
The power of the Internet. Title: Re: Revenge is sweet Post by: elwoodblues1969 on July 14, 2009, 04:40:34 AM I'm very pleased to read that the man is being compensated for his axe....good for him! 8)
If United busted my Korg,I would not be so polite about it...I'd ram my God***n fist down his throat. The United States Parcel Service busted up my old Korg O1/W into many pieces,but I was not there to witness the act.....but I did call the corporate office and fought with them for 6 months and eventually received a check. The motherf**kers would not hand over the check until I sent them my damaged Korg though and as luck would have it,the O1/W was out of production,so I never got it back. >:( -Thom Title: Re: Revenge is sweet Post by: Oren on July 14, 2009, 05:26:28 PM Neil Young feels so strongly about this issue that he hired a bio-diesel mechanic to develop and produce a big diesel engine that gets nearly 100 miles to the gallon. They installed one in Neil's car for his personal use, and one in each of his touring vehicles... which is how his instruments travel. No more damaged guitars.
