Re: Playing with a metronome ... you guy's are going to hate this !
A couple friends of mine have a duo act. One plays bass guitar, the other acoustic guitar, and they use a drum machine and programmed fills. They also loop guitar parts and use a vocal harmonized. They are both very good musicians, but every time I've heard them live, there's always been at least once per gig that they had to completely STOP a song and restart....because the drum machine and other equipment does NOT miss a beat, adjust tempo or drop a beat to compensate for one of them getting off tempo or coming in at the wrong time. Also, as Rich said, there's zero "feeling" to their music. It drives me crazy to listen to them for more than 1 or 2 songs, but bar crowds love it because it's easy to dance to.
I will say this; it's amazing to me to watch them work it all. It Can't be easy. I would rather bring 2 more people in to the band and take home half the money.

"Too many crappy used drum stuff to list"
Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
