Its all about Image. The name of you band, the look of your band, your attitudes etc. Its a given that you can play guitar and write sum tunes, thousands of kids are in their bedrooms with their 4-track right now coming up with great ideas.
The reason I play guitar is cos I love it, not cos its a path to stardom. I'd like to be in a functioning band with good songs to play but not so's to become famous or that.
I duno why i feel like this, I always thought I was the sorta guy who wanted to famous so bad, but i dont, i dont understand it. Maybe i respect my guitar too much.
