Obviously Gary was paying as befits his stature. It was good bread...For me it depends. Is it a gig with a paycheck up front and I'm a hired gun? I'll play whatever they want if the money's good enough.
Bummer. Should have given them these moves.
You won't really know until you've played with them. I'd say collect more data to base your decision on. So far the questions arose are: where did they play before, what type of gigs expected, who lugs the gear, what does it feel like playing in the new band vs. old band.He talks a big talk!! Nothing ventured nothing gained.
Sad part is I've been with some guys over the last 6 months, we've got about 50 tunes, 40 of those are what I'd call tight, and we were just getting out there. I don't know if I can float both for awhile or not.

You're kidding, right?TBers getting bent out of shape over "ridiculous amounts of gear" lol. BL wants to put on a Big Rock Show, this is the gear for that task. Watch, tomorrow some TB member will say they want to buy a $10,000.00 Fedora bass. Everyone will be saying "oh yeah, go for it!" Nobody will point out, or argue, how ridiculous that is.
His kidding? Are you sure it's his kidding?Your kidding, right?
Uggh... ya got me… That's what I get for drunk posting!His kidding? Are you sure it's his kidding?
