It won't matter how band my band sucks as long as the guitar solos are good

You figure wrong. People don't give a shit about guitar solos.

I need one of those keyboards I can strap on like a guitar........

Fuck... there's a yamaha model that is like the classic strap on keyboard, but I can't remember the model number right now. It's usually red... I wanna say AN1X, but that's something else. FUCK

Very few guitarists can make a solo interesting.

My point is that only guitar players will ever say something like, "Man, that band sucked, but those guitar solos FUCKIN' ROCKED!"

Actually, if a band is SOLID (ie, not noticably bad), and the guitarist can pull out some tasteful, attention grabbing/MUSICAL/somewhat flashy solos, it can definitely be enough to wow the croud..

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with this. The ability to speak on stage in between songs in a way that is not awkward and is *gasp* entertaining is, I think, important. At least as important as good liner notes. My band always said the dumbest shit. Most of the time. We had a few gems, but mostly it was the guitar player mumbling a few things. I'm always in the back, screaming funny things into the high hat mic, but nobody hears.

Sometimes I see a band where there are two or three people and they talk over eachother, look awkward... I want to cringe when I see that. I mean, even having planned out stuff to say is a good idea sometimes. At least have some plan as to how the inbetween songs go. If you wanna just rock one song and then another, cool. Just plan for it. A show is more than just nailing the songs.

Good evening ladies and germs. . .welcome to the

moonlight ballroom. . .dont forget to tip the

waitresses . . .they are turning tricks for me

. . .I am Love Daddy Cumolicious and I'll be

here all week. This ones called "smack my bitch

Ty never talks onstage...his glasses get somewhat foggy, and he's usually searching for his pick on the stage floor...but damn, the man can PLAY!!!
