I'm not sure what to think, or make of that.

Yeah, I do. That guy is an idiot. I'm sure there are people around him (that are responsible)that would enjoy holding a baby.

I'm a father of 2 girls. Both of my girls are musical nuts. The oldest plays guitar, at age 7, and the keys. The youngest is 5 and she is already picking up the sticks and a few keys. However, their stage presence was from the side and the crowd perspective growing up. I have taken the time to show off my girls, but I would never strap them to me while playing. That's ridiculous.

Should have given him a little astronaut suit so he could look like Paul Gilbert.

we've got a couple of sets of those ear defenders - they're great. They come in pink too...

I'd love to try that with my daughter, she's just too active I doubt I could make it through one chorus of anything. I'll have to look into the ear defenders.

That's a cool pic. I'm sure he didn't play a 2 hour show like that. More of a photo op.

I agree. If the kid was uncomfortable, he'd let daddy know it! The little dudes ears are protected too, so what's the harm?

The women in the audience aren't digging it - oh, wait, he's playing bass.
