only if you clip them short in the first place. if there's a bit of excess string to grab hold of you shouldn't have a problem. honestly, i don't care how it looks. sometimes i clip them. sometimes i don't. how does that make me a 'fuckin n00b' or a 'cretin'? tech or no tech, the guitar rory gallagh...

Why don't you have wire cutters or a pair of needle nosed pliers with a wire cutter attachment in your guitar gig bag/hard case? Because you're a fucking n00b. Say what you like about the two players above, they're hardly what you'd call 'fucking n00bs', are they? I haven't got all day to go rootin...

hahaah Jack White? Frusciante? FAIL [/color] Call me a Cub Scout all you want, you no-mark. Er, it's Rory Gallagher. You dolt. Maybe if he'd remembered to pack his wire cutters in his gig bag that night he could be considered as "serious about his craft" as you are, Mike. What an honor. I...

If they are so "serious about their craft" would it harm them to do this without a pair of wire cutters, if needed?
A drummer without a drum key is a shit drummer.
Hmm.
