The lead guitar got all upset when he left his lucky pick at the show in birmingham, and refused to play until he got another one!




Did "you" find my pick?!?

RE: the topic. . . I think there is plenty room for both depending on the application and/or venue. Heck just listen to some of todays so called stars when they live perform live. As recently as last weeks Grammys, Taylor Hicks and The Witch Woman Nicks, between them the could not find the correct pitch for an entire tune. So while I despise lip sync performances, I wonder if this is not worse.
If that happened to me in front of one of my "small" audience I would freak out and think about quitting the business.

Of course I would rather listen to accomplished live musicians anyday, but man if the dude lost his favorite pick it's over.
