are you kidding??? I use power chords all the time in my churchs band!!! lol... only on fast songs though, I've got my own palm muted power chord version of "awesome god" it's awesome! lol
but, if you are playing acoustic guitar, and/or you are the only guitarist on the stage, I would recommend staying away from power chords unless you think you can pull it off (a good fast song that has no parts where power chords would not be needed)
