these guys seem to have a point, i have also talked to tony on one or two occasions at steak n shake when i had thought about sounds and he acted pretty straight up the only thing i've noticed is that his reputation proceeds him, i hear (keyword hear) all this crap about him being a a*shole or he wants to beat people up but i've never seen any of this and i know he hasnt acted that way from what i've seen when i talked to him as a potential customer.
the shockwave negative rep is honestly coming from the enormous number of kids that have the banner on their windshield or back window and there are at least a handful with arrogant attitudes that really deter people because they automatically associate that with shockwave but some kid is being annoying and they have a shockwave sticker...
now on the other hand theres a couple guys i know that seemed to be more personally familiar with tony and they had some pretty thumpin setups and were a lot more down to earth normal guys. i honestly think the problem is the handful of kids with banners that shouldnt be representing anyones crew, business, etc because they seem to give more negative opinions than anything.
interesting coincidence, i was at hot import nites a week or two ago and i was playing bombshell poker at the same table as shockwave tony, haha yeah i definitely was out on like the 3rd hand it was sad, lost on a straight to the ace to this guys **** like 8 high flush on the river.
