Re: Does your \"band\" suck (badly)?
I would rather play alone than play in a band where the others are complete hacks. Playing with somone who is sloppy as fuck isn't "FUN" in my opinion. FUN is when I can play high quality music with folks who can do it how it's meant to do. I hate lazy bandmembers, I'm lazy MOFO myself but I'm always ready for a band practice, I can do it even 6 times in a week if I really want to. Those who can't do it even 2 times per week are not real players IMO.
I have an HUGE EGO and super high standards in the band work. But when the other guys can deliver and aren't lazy, then the enviorment is very fun and friendly.
I don't have a band right now because of my ego and standards. I live in a very small country. There isn't a SINGLE good frontman here who has a great powerful voice and can sing in English without some cheesy accent. Good keyboard players are very rare also. Some of the bass players are decent but non of them are amazing.
But I'm lucky to have a good friend who is a badass drummer, a true virtuoso, he can play in every style, he is sometimes lazy but he keeps his chops in shape and has a very good taste in music, also he is a very funny guy and a party animal and like me he always is trying to get laid [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
