    Should I join/quit the band?

    Go with the drummer, then find another guitarist and for a singer get a new one or you could do it yourself as it will make you a more valuable musician. Like others have said, guitarists are plentiful. But really it all comes down to what YOU think is best for you.

    he didnt use it as much as people think. He only used it for solos. The same goes for his Big Muff usage. Its not like he overused it like Hendrix, or hell, even Kirk
