The transport side of it would have to get old. I was thinking the same thing looking at Del James and Jarmo recently - on one hand they have an awesome job I'd kill for, at the same time, I look at them and think "this is night 50 across the other side of the world from your family" and so on.

Add chronic ache and the mental rollercoaster bumblefoot was suffering from while recuperating on the road from his car accident, and you really have a test of character, there. Should go without saying that, at the end of the day, he is an all too little appreciated hero of this current band.

Same here! bumblefoot does a better job representing and promoting Guns than the man who owns and fronts the band. axl

He respects others and tells the fans the truth despite it not being what we truly want to hear.

But to counterbalance this tour thing, people should look no further than Dylan. Since the late 80's, he's been averaging on 100 shows a year (and still does it), which means there's a Dylan show on every third or fourth day of the year somewhere. And with Dylan, the audiences oft complain he's too unpredictable with his show.

It's a living, what can you say?

Yeah, and I kinda figure the hardships of traveling etc are a small price to pay for getting to play rock music for a living.

Oh yeah...beats working in a conventional job I'd guess wink

But I do feel there must be performance pressure in all the creative arts. Like when you see a stage play or something too. Those people do that each night.

So like if you're DJ or something..it's like a dream job but there's also that pressure to look alive and make sure people have a kickass show when he might personally feel like shit that day or something.
