He doesn't change bridges, he burns his bridges.What was the dragons stance on changing bridges?
Can't the dragon fly? It should not need bridges, unless it doesn't want to do a chorus between verses.What was the dragons stance on changing bridges?
It's different. If one is to ruin his bass, it would be better to suggest why it would be so. If somebody wants to spraypaint their 1958 P bass, don't ask why, say "don't do that' or something.
You can't talk about him. Remember, no more Gunn discussions.Pete who?
For Pete's sake.
Ouch, don't they tend to get burned at the end of the festival?Pete's a straw man. Leave Pete out of this.
Back from Wentz he came, I presume?Pete was here, but Pete Wentz.

Why would you answer a question with a question?
For Pete's sake.
There's where you seem to be missing the point....or changing yours. If someone says "I want to change the bridge on my bass" (going back to your first example), we may ask him why he wants to do that. In some cases, it may be broken. In others, he may think that a new bridge will magically give him hours of sustain. But, until we understand WHY he wants to do it, we can't give him meaningful advice.
