nobody cares about the bass and the drums
The only people that say they matter are bass and drums players coping

They are like foundation constructions.
It sucks when they suck but nobody cares when they are decent enough.

Guitar players who’ve played with really bad drummers say this, too. As do bands who can’t find drummers. They don’t have to be great (although music dorks will notice when they are), but if they’re really incompetent or absent, good luck with anything resembling a live rock band.
Bassists can get away with next to nothing, or be left out entirely, in a lot of bands, but an exceptional bassist can be the most important part of a group’s sound. And in many genres, only an idiot with neither taste nor functional hearing would claim that they’re inessential.
>t. Guitarist who was once in a band with a drummer who literally could not keep a beat properly, and instead always tried to follow us, with sometimes cool but always unsteady fiddling around. Nice guy, truly shit drummer, ruined a lot of songs. He switched to bass eventually and actually started adding value.

Unfortunately yeah. Guitars are just really cool and you look cool playing them. You can play it sitting down or running around the stage engaging with the audience. You can play the main melody of a song on a guitar so it's great for just hanging around with friends and playing random tunes for fun. It's also an instrument that comes in many different colors shapes and styles so when you see someone's guitar you can tell what type of guitar player they are. There's a reason boomers thought being a rockstar was the dream
