Hi Kyle, i while ago i started a thread called "Loopers hard questions" because of this same reason,there are closed minded purists out there who will go out of their way even before you play to put you down (and yes im talking about musicians) A while ago i had a looping gig and i invited a musician friend of mine who does not loop and is quite a purist in the songwritting sense.The next day he wrote me to tell me his thoughts of how crap this whole looping thing he thinks it is,hiding talent behind gear,antisocial musician etc.etc.etc. then again this same guy admires me as a musican though and even hires me to play for him and he loves Andrew Birds music;-) I think for the most part a lot of them base their opinions on their personal musical preference and conservative views of how music should be performed,either people like it or not wether you are looping or not.In general though my experience has been postive with this,some people are curious about it,some people dont get it,some people think you are using playbacks,others dont care what you are using and some people just sit there and criticise it.Is almost as biased as somebody saying playing with a band is better than alone;-) A guy who saw once play liked it so much that he went and recomended me to a pub owner in a town about 100km away from here,,so he came and saw me personally at the following gig,i was doing my own songs and some covers but with abstract looping at times.I went to his pub once and he has a lot of blues duos who entertain the audience by telling stories in german dialects.He never called me so i obviously did not fit his bill,thank god!
