That astute observation made... I would like to say, I don't care for side-clowns. Any of them, really. It's not hatred I'm talking about... Just... Indifference. Some fans seem to get all ga-ga over 'em, and I just don't share the enthusiasm.
So, here we go.... Side-clowns, and how you feel/what you think, any and all news you hear... Just throw it all in here.

I feel kind of silly asking this, but what is a side-clown?

Oh, it's what I, and some other Goobers, call the Dolls' touring members... Like, Brad... Korel... Jason... Greg.. etc.

I like Jason and Greg the most out of the side-clowns they've ever had. Brad and Korel...eh. I don't know. Nathan December scares me and Dave...well, I'm stunned surprised he got caugh with a groupie on Taxi Cab Confessions... Dude's creepy.

Oh, ok...I sort of thought so, but wasn't 100% sure so I thought I'd check...
I would prefer that it was only Johnny, Robby and Mike, but I don't really have a problem with the help as long as they don't sing...For whatever reason, either because of lack of confidence in his guitar playing, or for convenience, Johnny does seem to prefer to strum along, rather than to play main guitar on a lot of songs...Now, granted he has the Lion's share of vocals, so maybe he just wants to concentrate on the singing and interacting with the crowd? I'm not sure, but Johnny seems to be a lot more confident in his singing than his guitar playing, or at least it seems that way to me...

I don't mind them too much but....I prefered Jason. Korel is scarry but what a musician.

I liked Jason and Greg but I would also fall down and die or have a huge orgasm if John actually played lead guitar live. It is so rare now to see. I guess the side-clowns have their place as it does free John up to interact with the crowd if that is what you want to call it.

Lol!
I think I'd die if John did more than that itty-bitty guitar section on BITL. God, if he's going to pass off the guitar duties to the side-clowns don't do it half-assed. Take off your goddamn guitar if you're not going to use it! (granted it seems to be a security blanket of sorts)
/rant.

I agree and anytime I've seen him without his guitar he looks a tad uncomfortable.

He looked SO uncomfortable. He needs to stop hiding behind it but...his guitars have always been there for him so.....it is his blanket.
