The rock band I have been playing with a for couple of years is in turmoil yet again! We have management, we have a stunning vocalist, we have an album, we have some good gigs and festivals lined up but no drummer and no lead guitarist now.....here's a brief summary of recent events (last 3 years)
I join band at the same time as the now departed guitarist
We write and record our album, I have to write and record the drum parts as the incumbent drummer was far more enthusiastic than he was talented.
Guitarist decides drummer needs to go if the band is ever going to move forward
Drummer is asked to resign and guitarist brings in his drummer from the other band
Band gets back up to speed however drummer bails out of rehearsals at short notice and finally bails out of a video shoot 2 days before we were due to do it
Band sacks said drummer and I recruit a pal of mine to try out
Wednesday night we rehearse, it goes really well...after the rehearsal guitarist says "he's not a rock drummer" and goes home
Friday, guitarist says the band is not going where he wants so is leaving, half an hour later, drummer comes back and says he can't commit to 2 bands so won't be joining us!
What do we have to do to get a settled line up!
Bands, who needs em!
Rant over!
