BE STRONG NOW (Hut)
SOLO spin offs should be banned of course. They exist merely to show the world that "there's another side to me than just being the guitarist who stands next to one you all know". The other side to the Smashing Pumpkins strummer is sensitive, caring, softly spoken and almost entirely devoid of any tension, energy or charisma. It's the sound of nocturnal wrist action over the fretboard of a campfire twelve string. Just don't tell me there's a baldy Billy solo effort on it's way as well. I mean, do these people have nothing better to do? Next.
