In the end you have to get to the point and tell the guy who sucks that he needs to either pratice his solos more or stop playing them. Otherwise the band will go nowhere because the other members will start losing interest. Been there done that through a number of bands! Three guitarists only sound good if everything is very tight and there are a few dual harmonies over a rhythm and even the odd dual solo (Iron Maiden now have three guitarists - saw them live recently and they kicked ass). Otherwise it can just sound like a wall of noise. Contrary to popular belief it doesnt have to be sloppy to be punk!!
