The strangest thing was quite a few years ago, over a period of time we had a guy that came down to our rehearsals and used to sit in our sofa just to listen and watch.
He almost knew one guy in the band since before and for some reason decided to show up. Noone had invited him but we all thought the “almost” friend told him to show up all the time, which he never did, so no one showed him the door either. After a period of time (several weeks) when he felt comfortable stalking us he started to suggest songs to play and how we should sound. That’s when we started to see him as a problem opposed to just being the weirdo in the sofa and we started to discuss amongst each other who is that guy? Then one day he was gone. The guy in our band that almost knew him told us the wierdo had approached his gf to declare his deep love to her. He never showed up again after that. -------------------- My bands homepage

Every situation and relationship is different but every time that we have a problem in our band we talk and discuss about it. If the problem is really important we organize a reunion to talk about it and to find a solution. Everything is always with respect and thinking on the best for the band.

This is a tough one. I've been in that position before.
Here's a story: Back in 2007 I was playing with my progressive metal band Hidden Path. Everything was normal and we were trying to write some new material. One day talking over messenger with the drummer, he started being really aggressive and offensive towards me because I couldn't help him with something, a recording or something like that, but he thought I was too "important" "conceited", So I told him that it would be better to part ways, and I found a replacement for him. One month later Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater decided that a local band should open for them in every country of Latin America, so my band was picked through myspace to open in Bogota, Colombia. The old drummer came back to my place to ask me to rejoin the band but I told him that I already had a drummer and let me tell you, it was very dramatic, but I couldn't accept him because the new one was already committed. So anyways, there's always some issues with band members imo. I think it's important to play with mates you know you are going to get along because you are gonna spend a lot of time with them. But first you should choose someone who can do the job properly and is not going to be taking too long to learn something. -------------------- Visit my:

"It is amazing what You can accomplish with a simple baseball bat" good one well, the guy who came back to ask about re-entering the band had no back bone at all in my opinion.. |
