Hi Qbert, for a minute there I thought you wee that Pinoy DJ in San Francisco... allow me to welcome you to the board
About OASGomez, well he's certainly a famous character. As for his controversy, its a guitar gear geek thing, I think the boys in the Guitar Central forum can best fill you in, and you can ask for a copy of the "chronicles" from Al Librero.
I think personally Mr. Gomez is more eccentric than he is offensive, but I guess others have a different idea
As an observer I would paint the picture as a "equipmentgeek vs. artist" sort of thing. One party believes the gear makes the man (and can't play) while the other party believes the musician makes the music, not the gear. It's an endless argument found in other fields, from photography to golf
Anyway, you are free to jump in or avoid the fray. Makes for interesting reading though, I gotta admit... In the end, I think every musician who contributes to the pool of ideas here enriches the community and him/herself in the process.
