i wonder how he got from 3-piece to 4-piece to 5-piece then to 4-piece and back to 3-piece?
I mean 5-piece wolfmother sounded awesome and full live.
but maybe he's just too tired to change musicians all the time?

One guitar, one bass switching with keyboards and the drums. That's all they need. |

I personally prefer bands with just one guitarist rather than having a lead and rhythm. |

yeah but most bands like still get touring musicians. like muse and green day. they have extra touring guitarists and keyboardists.
when there is a song with a solo played live, lead guitarist plays rhythm and then switches to solo it starts sounding empty because of lack of rhythm guitar that was in the studio. 5-piece wolfmother also played love train like in studio because of percussion. joker and the thief also has 2nd guitar that Andrew can't play while singing. There are also moments where you need both bass and keys, however seeing both Hammond and Peres playing hammond in joker and the thief live was kinda strange |

I actually prefer three pieces. And when they record, fair enough if they have to record overdubs for guitars as if they were a 4 piece. But I love it when the guitarist plays a solo and the bassist carries on playing the riff in the background. It just feels and sounds much more natural and like it is seeing them live. Three Seasons - Feel Alive guitar solo is a great example of this.

Kadavar and Black Sabbath are the best examples I can find. When the Tony or Lupus is in a solo, Geezer or Dragon boost their bass sound and rock on the riff, it gives a much more raw sound to it. It's all clear: guitar on the left, bass on the right, drums in the middle, it's not just a big wall of riffs, you know?

There's no reason to have 4 people inwolfmother if the fourth is not on the same situation, and having a touring musician in a band which is technically a one-man band with two hired touring musicians, doesn't really make sense. |
