I wouldn't mind seeing a whole show of Jim without his guitar.  It would be interesting to see how he would function without that tool, and be a full-force frontman.

i remember when i saw the pixies live and during which song i forget but frank black's guitar was shitting out on him so he just chucked it and sang without it but would still strum as if he had it on still....no i dunno if he was uncomfortable or just hamming it up...but it was very very cool

in my opinion, a full force front man is a guy that doesnt just stand around and sing.  he plays a guitar and rocks the ASSES of the MASSES.  when a frontman doesnt play an instrument, a lot of the times it makes him seem like a no talent ass clown to me.  i know some may talk about pearl jam and u2, as well as others, because there are exceptions.  but personally, i like to see a frontman that writes the songs, and can play some lead or rhythm guitar.  i guess my rational is because i know a lot of people who can only sing.

oh, and he plays the uke (just calling it that because I can't spell it)  The duff notes make me feel better about the way I play the songs.
