You think the audience doesn't notice? Think again!

You do need some vision or integrity, but keep in mind, it is the AUDIENCE you are there to please.
Imagine if the dude who built your car decided to respect his own intuition and wired your brakes "his way" instead of what his audience liked. Don't forget, playing in public is a job... please your boss/customer or go home.

I would do that if the majority of audience thinks something.
But we are talking about a bunch of guys over thousands...
Thats the whole point, A GUY told something, not the entire audience...

PD: The car builders do exactly what you described. THEY BUILD THE CAR LIKE THEY WANT AND YOU BUY IT OR NOT.

I'm talking about the production guys... Good luck on those steep hills.

And actually they get feedback from (a small portion of) thepublic about what they want, and try to produce that.
 
The production guys?
Ah, ok. Exactly the same case as jimmy's...
So you used an example that have nothing to do to prove you are right.
No, on stage, you are the "production guy" ie you are PRODUCING the music, I mean unless every song you play is anon the spot improvisation with not only the song, but also the equipment and band sound.
 
If after your audience's opinion you just made a joke like you say (you are not going to change strings more often)...

So what are you arguing for?
You just did the same thing anybody here would do...
What was I arguing for? Because it was an offhand remark made as a joke that you and you alone turned into something I never intended, and I thought that maybe saying that it meant nothing would eventually redirect your focus to the greater picture. But after the first 100 times, if you don't get it by then, you never will, so I figured ignoring you would stop it. And that didn't work, either. Next stop is reporting you for harassing me. Haven't done it yet but I will. You made your point, so let it go.

Do what you want. Just remember you are in a public forum and you should coexist with the rest of the opinions specially when you start a thread...If you cant tolerate that just write a book with your advices.
Instead of checking every comment and replying compulsively to everybody who doesnt share your opinion, over and over, just let us express our view without your constant refuting of everything. Just give us a break...
