No....That is not a joke..rather that is as we know/knew him ...IMSRV...
He is part of our colorful palette of Forum members...
He has gone on to another name...One of many, has been banned under previous names,
Has been MIA recently and has just resurfaced once again under a new pseudonym.

The more I see of him, the more convinced I become that all is not well.
Bear with it, it is best to leave well enough alone.
Speaking from experience on this subject...

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Miss SRV has come back as "Strat-o-Tele"

Thanks

Just click the exclamation points at the bottom of his posts to report. He ain't gonna "fix" himself, despite his claim.

The opening post got deleted so the context of the thread isn't clear. I don't recall who the original poster was -- it might have been the guy who got kicked out for the cat video thread.

The opening post was a link to a youtube of a kid who was trying to play along (badly) to a recording of SRV's Voodoo Child. That kid just happened to be Lil Miss SRV/Strat-o-Tele/FenderGuy1.

I have a slow internet connection and after watching a few seconds I didn't want to waste any more of my life waiting for it to fully download. But what I saw wasn't intentionally offensive or anything. In fact, I'm so sick of seeing little kids who play better than I do that it was sort of refreshing to see one who hasn't caught up/surpassed me yet.

I know it wasn't Strat-o-Tele who started this thread. Maybe he did something offensive later on in the video but even if he did he's kind of an innocent bystander in this. IMO there's nothing to report him for.

Report him for the simple fact that he has been kicked off three times already, and that is a clear message that he doesn't get. He isn't welcome here, simple. He has a bad habit of pissing-off many forum members, and this is a better place without him, nothing to do with his playing ability.

And the nonsense BS posts, such as "breaking all six strings on a guitar at the same time", and other such made up stories.

Sorry -- I didn't mean there's nothing at all to report him for, just that he hasn't done anything particularly offensive in this thread.

I thought that this thread was started by "Elix 1r", but I didn't catch the OP before it was removed. I believe that the OP was referring to another post or video by "Strat-o-Tele", aka "IMissStevieRay" aka "OneGuitarPlayer", aka "FenderGuy1". Enough is enough.

No. It had nothing to do with StratOTele or IMissStevie or whatever his name is. It was a Swedish bloke who posted a video of some spanish speaking hooligans who poured gasoline on a kitten in a pail in the street and lit it on fire. While it was alive. Yah, real nice. The guy`s name was TheRealDeal or something like that. He`s gone. Good riddance.

I'm so confused now. When I first saw this thread the opening post was a link to a kid playing a bad version of Voodoo Child, followed by 53Magnatone's reply and then BMW-KTM asking who IMSRV is now. I replied then I took my dog for a long walk and when I got back the opening post that I had seen was gone.

The cat burning thread was posted while I was out walking my dog and by the time I got back it had already been edited and TheRealDeal had been expunged along with all his posts, so I assumed that the original opening post that I had seen in this thread must have come from him and been deleted with the rest of his posts.

From what I've gathered about the cat burning thread I feel very blessed to have missed it and my sympathies go out to those of you who were subjected to it.

There are two threads, one video about a cat, I think posted by TheReaDeal (and he is gone already), and one about the long video of the kid who keeps coming back under new names. Maybe we've mixed up the two threads because they have been edited or removed or something?

I could be wrong, but I thought that this thread was started by Elix 1r about the video of "what's-his-name-this-week". If so, then the response by 53magnatone makes more sense.

1) FenderGuy1 - kicked off, returned as:
2) OneGuitarPlayer - kicked off, returned as:
3) IMissStevieRay - kicked off, returned as:
4) Strat-o-Tele - ?

Sorry late to the reply, worked all day...BTW I pasted this from another post from the thread
IMSRV.........Fix Myself

(after edit)....OK I was not aware of the burning the cat incident, glad I didn't see it and I won't say what I'd like to do to those who made that video...

My initial response was from having seen the IMSRV video, or at least a little of it., As well known, I'm at a loss as to what to do or say about IMSRV ( I'm going to keep refering to him as such even though he prefers the Chameleon's attributes....
