Seriously, it has to stop. Unless you're Simon and Garfunkel and in some folksy band or something, it's not okay to skip out on a bass player or whatever player.
Honestly, it's like people who have one or two kids. Sure you have a kid and that's a lot of responsibility, but from the kid's perspective, they're going to end up maladjusted. I don't mean this like in the serious "school shooting" maladjustment way; just like "when all the guys are hanging out and one of them farts, you freak out" or "not understanding that getting beat up is just a part of being in a family" or "The world isn't out to serve you" kinds of way.
In that same way, having only two people in a band messes with the delicate balance of attention sharing and other mojo type issues...not to mention the complete sound that comes from a live band (drummer, bass, guitar, singer, etc).
I was thinking about this last night and thought I'd share.

would you be satisfied of the white stripes were multi talented and one of them played the drums, guitar, and piano and the other threw in the banjo and some maracas?
No, they already do that. I think they're very talented, but if you're in a rock band, you HAVE to have more than 2 people in the band.
