Matt, excellent to see the band on here asking what we would like, but I\'m with others here who have said "play what feels right to you". After all, when pb first started, it wasn\'t as a request from all of us that the music went the way it did. And don\'t stress too much on the vocals - as leith has said, if that\'s the only thing which comes up for discussion, then you are all doing something right! My issue with vocals is perhaps wrong cover choices, not the voices themselves.
And as for chilling out a bit at shows, did anyone ever complain when Jerry took off into a 25 minute Dark Star or FZ played Black Napkins? I think not. I love the idea of human rhythms - it doesn\'t have to be face-melting 300bpm all the time - a gentle sinous jam can reel us in just as well as a mental all-out shredfest.
