You see this is my point. Do you have any idea how insulting that is to your crowd to take that position. A performer shouldn't take the position that the audience doesn't know any better. When you're performing, even though it's you performing, 9 times out of ten you're not the only one in the room who is a musician.

I just think it's wrong to assume your audience doesn't know any better. You'd be surprised how many people out there listening to you are fellow musicians.

There's a fine line between being picky, and a sound just being wrong. You gotta draw the line somewhere, but it's very wrong to assume your listeners think it's appropriate.

And no the guitars didn't "blow" me away. The saxes however made me wet my pants You have to take into consideration that the odds of several guitarists listening to you play are very high (the guitar is a very popular instrument). From the first time I heard the SA voices I knew they were wrong.
