@hodu It’s telling that they’ll be replacing him with two guitarists.
Personally, I don’t think of Lindsey getting replaced with two "guitarists". But I do agree with what I think is your point about needing two persons to replace him...1 guitarist and 1 vocalist is how I see it. Like him or not, Lindsey could play some tight, sweet licks and was a very good songwriter. I sure don’t see Neil Finn as being any kind of peer on guitar - and I am an unreserved Neil Finn fan. Neil’s a great songwriter and I enjoy his singing very much but even in his own bands he plays more rhythm than lead. Mike Campbell vs Lindsey on guitar is a different story, I think. Much more on the same plain guitar-wise, if not better, IMO. This whole thing just seems weird to me, not that I worry too much about the decisions FWM make.
