NOOO. Bad Idea. That's how guitarist with huge heads like Jolly are born. Pretty soon if you keep that up no one will want to play with you anymore. Best thing is to cut him out of the loop. If everyone else in the band feels the same way then just stop telling him when practice sessions are. Better yet tell him the band is going in a different direction but if he can scare up another drummer and bassist you'd be happy to think about playing with them also. Sounds stupid but it works.
