SHOULD I STOP PLAYING GUITAR?

The voice to me is not an instrument...

Sorry (not really) if you don't agree, but that's the way I feel and I couldn't give 2 sh*ts less if you agree or not.[/quote]

Then you shouldn't give 2 sh*ts if I say this makes you sound like a moron.

You're correct. I couldn't care less.

You are a genius.

How great is your other guitar player? can he keep the attention of the audience as much as you do when you stop singing and he begins a solo? can he rip into a solo with just bass and drums and know one really notices the background dropping out a bit because they are focusing on his great solo work?

yes. he's never even been in a band with two guitarists. plus, he's a great performer. so, yeah, he can keep the attention of the audiencce. The Migraines were a three piece for nigh on 15 years. I never had sweat the "background dropping out" thing before. when Zack Wylde goes into a solo no one ever worries about the background dropping out. not getting pissy, i'm just saying.

i completely appreciate your input/questions, tho. thanx!

So far, 3 shows without guitar.

Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from people who said I shouldn't put the guitar down. Specificly, Morrison Agen, arguably one of the most opinionated people I know said I should never play guitar again in The Migraines. He sed the energy level was astounding.

Greg and Craig are filling up the spaces nicely. Thanx for asking.

Two more shows to go before we decide.

Any more opinions?

Thanx for the feedback.
