And Gary, the main point I was trying to make earlier is the hypocrisy of most solo players here bitching about other musicians they have worked with, as if we have never committed a sin ourselves.

Odds are some of them were better musicians than we are (I've heard most of the user demos from here!) and may have found US as irritating to play with as we found them. Difference is, they are probably still playing with real people, and enjoying the music they make a lot more than OMB's do! Look at the incessant search for the next, latest greatest thing... Most guitarists of any skill haven't NEEDED to change their rig in decades! If we were as happy musically as they are, we wouldn't need to either.

A little more honesty would go a long way here, when we reminisce about past bandmates!
