if you wanna a 2nd guitar for just the album, Mark will do it: background and lead as he always did. i.e.: Are You Ready?

That is a good point perhaps after Stapp does this solo album and he gets a lot better at writing music he can help out more in that area. Cornell for instance wrote bridges and the like for Audioslave's album when they were stuck in the writing process. Eddie Vedder is a great guitar player for a lead singer he does the Pete Townsend "windmill" funny stuff and he has some speed. Must almost as good as Stone Gossard!

yeah, of course, but what about live?

we weren't talking about live... hide was saying on the studio...

live: playback could help... lol!
