nah, I think guitar widdly is probably the worst, simply because you can warm up and tune on guitar without the amp being turned up. with a wind instrument you can't really warm up and tune without actually making sound.

I'm just saying, it's a little more understandable in an orchestra setting as compared to a couple guys in a cover band.
Now, if you ask which is worse, a bad cover band or a bad orchestra.... then the question gets pretty tough.

That crap makes my beer go flat.

On an unrelated note, Hover, I love your signature.

In my demographic, it's the arrogant ball dragging look-at-me-I'm-the-**** Pantera lick. It does nothing to my beer, but it seems to induce tremendous farts from the other guitarists present.

And Sloasdaylight, thanks. I initially read the phrase on BoingBoing, later to find it's from a Paul Brandt song.

Of course, I started playing orchestral bass, so I have some idea of what I'm listening to.
