Ain't nothing like getting the perfect level glow on and getin down and jamming your favourite tunes. This drunken rambling has go to go. How would you like it if you were a guitar player starting of a song and then some guy starts to mumble some lyrics,hymes or whatever the hell is rambling through his mind right as you are getting the intro going.
I'd find it very insulting especially since he's be doing it since the last several sucker trains.
Not cool Scott with no class and disrespect for you fellow musicians.
hawk.
Actually, I am a guitar player in a band for more years than I'd like to remember.... if I didn't like what my singer was doing, I'd fire them and get a replacement.... or suck it up because I need them for the $.....perhaps we can exchange our own stories since even being in a "nothing" band provides you with opportunities to experience the politics, crap and fun of performing..... Is it really drunkin rambling or posturing... the rock star image? Being true to what the average fan expects? I understand your opinion... and quite frankly... I agree but as a guitar player, I would have a choice to keep the person or boot them the hell out..... believe me.. we've gone through a few band members over the years.... but... Scott's image and people's perception of him are (I believe) bigger than he is..... the other day I was talking to someone that I had met about our STP trib band (that I sing in so I'm the waste case) and the guy said to me... "Did you know that Scott cannot enter Canada? He's a wanted man.. the RCMP have to accompany him everywhere...." I thought that this was funny. Back to your point thought... I find what is interesting are that the shows which were filmed on this last mini tour were bang on...... so whatever is going on, I guess that we can chose to go along for the rock n roll ride or just not partake.... I enjoy whether he's rambling, stumbling, falling or slurring...... Dean, Robert and Eric have a choice..... as do we, the fans..... if Scott needs help, I hope that he gets it...... again...... but it's just Scott being Scott and the band knows this......
