Believe me, no one has any trouble hearing the guitars. We were in a room the size of a walk-in closet, the guitars could be heard in the next county, and since vocals and keyboards go through the P.A., you couldn't heard them. Hell, I had people saying saying couldn't hear the bass and drums, and that has never, ever been a problem.
I swear to God, guitarists just cannot fucking play at anything other than 11.
It's frustrating, yes, but what the hell. From where I stand, the mix is usually pretty good. I get to rock and roll, check out babes all night, and at the end of the night I get enough money to pay for dinner and gas. We're only doing this for fun anyway. There are worse ways to spend a Saturday night.
