my former band was pissing me off with their "PUNK OR ELSE" attitude.
I mean, okay... everyone thinks that punk can't survive long.
true or not?
my drummer was this somebody who is greatly influenced by her brother and does anything her brother do. not everything though. so now he's into metal, and she is too. so all she want us to play is metal. talk about it, she doesn't even want to play songs that are not easy for her to play while the other parts are okay-we-should-practice-and-try. it's now more like talk but never do. so we ended up having frequent conflicts, most not related to band. more of personality. so now i'm undergoing some serious thoughts.
conclusion: i'll wait till i am more mature and know what i really want to do.
meanwhile, i'll just keep practicing.

Yea, shit like that happens man. I think it really boils down to alot of things besides the musicianship or technicality of a band. Other things like Band Chemistry. Through the solid frienship within the band, compromise if there are different genre preferences between the band members. Talking it out is never easy but it just happens to be the only way it can be done.
My band for example, guitarist - effing good in my standards but he's into alot of old school stuff. And not just thrash man, he's still listening to Ozzy and stuff. Not that I have anything against Ozzy but I believe in moving on. So he's into old school stuff, Here I am trying to translate lyrics from Lamb Of God's Ruin. He's irritated, so am I. But the thing that keeps this band together is that we've been best friends for ages and thats where we compromised on a whole lot of things in our music. Vocals, riffs, blah blah blah. 7 Originals later(Which will be recorded after the O's, BUY WHEN OUT HOR!) We are both happy with our stuff, end of story. And hopefully nothing tragic to add to in the near future.
