Maybe more and direct to the point is that I feel Clayton, who occupies a seat in one of the biggest bands in the world, should have a capacity and talent greater than my own. I'm not a braggart where performance is concerned (believe me, I've made my fare share of live flubs). But when I can play better than the guy who's making millions of dollars more than me per year I can't help but have disdain for his abilities. He should be a better player than most of the musicians on this list. And he's not even that.
