good players or good performers??

u decide

why??

So I'm a looser...I'm sitting at home on a Friday night watching a bunch of nothing on T.V. I come across Austin City limits and Coldplay was on. I have never liked them but i really enjoyed there show. i went on line downloaded there music collection, which i was not impressed with except for this performance. I'm not sure if this is what your looking for.

Assuming you are talking about concerts...the performance is a larger part than the talents of the performers...of course if the players are just horrible than the performance will suck too. I recently went to a Night Wish concert, and i'm not a huge fan of their music, but their performance was incredible i and enjoyed myself very much. But then i went to a see steve vai, and not only did the performance kick ass...but well, you know...it was steve fucking vai! prolly one the best shows ive ever been to.

Good players. It is hard to find a good performance nowadays. Acrobatics and lights does not neccesarily mean it's a good performance. Its mostly about the music. Iron Maiden has some good performances. I've been to some Santana concerts that are really good. The crowd really gets into the music and starts lighting the reefer. I don't like those bands that drastically change their solos that they sound like crap.

Smokin refer...I know get it

well... ive had 2 bands.. in one we were all great players, i mean we did practice a lot and in the other one, I was able to turn on the people even if we played a really bad and offtune....

To me, stage presence is just as important as skill.
