Putting together a band is
something that you always take
seriously for the obvious reason
- it's got to gel and you got to
sound great!
But I have seen many bands, some
of them with huge potential,
break-up because of everything
from personal issues to
professional issues.
I
have seen band members leave a
band right in the middle of a
deal because their wife got
pregnant or they hated the
manager or even because they
think that they are the reason
why everyone else got signed.
Yea, arrogance has been a huge
noose around the success of some
bands.
In
this video I talk about the
things you need to talk about
with potential band members to
avoid most of the pitfalls of
members bailing out on you.
From my own experience, I bailed
from a band because it was a
creative difference that
happened about 2 years into the
process. The lead guitar
player wanted to bite the styles
of other successful bands I said
now way.
After some in-fighting, we took
a band vote and I got booted. |
