Great
I'm with Marc on this but...
My opinion and the friends opinions may differ for 2 reasons.
1- musical tastes
2- friends do not have any idea what is good, they are biased.

Its best not to give your honest opinion when they are within earshot of other band members or band friends, unless you want to fight your way out.
Of course if your friend in the band is an idiot and tells them immediately. Hey John Guitarist, Bert said you tone sounded like a cat scratching on a chalkboard, can you do something about it?
John's come back...man I got the baddest lil crate combo for $200...tone doesn't get any better than a crate.
DUDE...Its time to fire John or take him to the music store, and upgrade from the crate.
Preferably something with TONE.
Of course when you are creed, 3DD, SOAD, Disturbed, and metallica mixed wannabes. Power cords is you forte, who gives a shit? Your friends love it.

My last gig I ended up in the middle of the stage...
Yeah my ugly ass on center stage.
I moved the mic stands around where Lisa was front and center.
I sing very little lead, mostly harmonies.
On bass solos I am front and center, to show boat a little.
I prefer not having any accompaniment when I solo.
It throws me off. I march to the beat of a different drummer.
LOL
