There's a big part of me that wants to get a guitar again, but I know I'd be in trouble if I did. I can't just do something half-assed, I'd have to practice my chops non-stop so I could shred like a maniac, I'd have to write, I'd have to start a band (it doesn't help that a friend of mine is looking for a guitarist to start something up with), and so on.
The ONLY reason I will pick up a guitar again anytime soon is if All That Remains drops one of their guitarists and calls me up. They're local buddies and I was on deck for tryouts a year ago but the lead man didn't end up leaving as planned. It's better off, I couldn't fill his shoes anyway.

I'd love to be 2nd rhythm though, but there's no real need for it.
edit: I see you're from CT. Cool. You have any idea about a band called "Pile"? I saw them as local support for BLS when they played a few years ago, and they were great. Never heard/saw/found anything about them ever since!
