Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Why did your band fall apart?

Best advice I can give is to find like-minded musicians with a high work ethic.
I think there's such a problem as too high a work ethic...:rolleyes:
The last band I was in I got offer to play bass (yes another one guys
) through these boards. Everything was looking great: all the members lived really close... really important as I live in the countryside and everyone seemed motivated... however a drummer was missing... but that wass resolved soon enough.
I made sure to set out some goals and to make sure everyone was motivated to work. However; they very writing originals very quickly... I'm talking at least one a week. They (lead singer/guitarist, guitarist) set out THEIR vision for the songs without myself and the drummer having no real input as to what we wanted. So basically myself and the drummer showed up to practice and were under extreme pressure to quickly learn off pre set visions we weren't informed of enough. ALSO: Any input I has to change up the bassline, even a tiny bit, were shot down... And believe me these were small things (playing more than flippin root notes). Also little things: Like, no proper place to practice, they had CRAP equipment, everyone had college... etc
Granted, there was talent there... We had two gigs; one being a BOTB heat and the second being the final, which we came second... But after feeling like I was "just a bass player" being manipulated my 2 music students who think they knew it all I called it quits...
TL;DR: Too much work, no shared vision, lack of neutral input, felt belittled and talentless.
I also have slightly happier stories of failed bands that I may share tomorrow... For now the bed calls...0 -
