Not a fan...

I like the actual band to play and that's it. I don't like extras. I hate bands that have massive backup sections. Granted this is just one guy, but still, I like the 5 guys making their music and that's it.

Agreed a guest appearance here and there is welcome. This next comment does not really relate to the Hip situation but as a rule of thumb the more people on stage the more the act needs the support to cover the flaws.

Again as a rule of thumb not this situation. See it with aging performers way past their best performance.. "If we already seen their best we can do without the rest".
