Comments on: I’m in a band, I’m a drummer, and I’m having trouble dealing with the singer. Any Help? http://tangozadar.com/tango-cd/im-in-a-band-im-a-drummer-and-im-having-trouble-dealing-with-the-singer-any-help Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:04:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: jellybeanmelbourne http://tangozadar.com/tango-cd/im-in-a-band-im-a-drummer-and-im-having-trouble-dealing-with-the-singer-any-help/comment-page-1#comment-2941 jellybeanmelbourne Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:16:59 +0000 http://tangozadar.com/tango-cd/im-in-a-band-im-a-drummer-and-im-having-trouble-dealing-with-the-singer-any-help#comment-2941 It's better for you and the other band members to have a singer to practice with but its no good if you don't ALL get along. I suggest keeping this guy for the moment but scout around quietly for another singer. Maybe put notices up at local schools where it would be unlikely for him to find out whats going on. It's underhanded but the last thing you want is the band to break up over indifferences with one particular member. Incidently I prefer 'Sociosound'. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> It’s better for you and the other band members to have a singer to practice with but its no good if you don’t ALL get along.

he’s a manipulative person in general. i’d bet you money that he has a-hole parents and he has a control issue. or adopted/fostered.

that kinda person you don’t really ‘deal’ with unless theyre your boss but thats something else. i’d want him out personally. talk to your original bandmates and if they have your back, then kick him out. the worst that could happen is he has a little tantrum (and he’s how old?) and spreads stupid rumors. pfft, u dont need him. you’ll never make it big with someone like that in your way.

i’d like to help, get in contact with me if you want :)

His lyrics? They are really shitty and they sound like something someone with no musical experience would write. It's gay. he just doesn't want to express his true feelings in his lyrics. If you feel that you have some sweet lyrics show them to the rest of the band and if they like it, then show him and if he doesn't like it than he can shove it. Tell him to start contributing or get out and tell him if he's gonna take control of the whole band? At least do it right and not slack off. You really gotta tell him about that stuff. Also I think "Heroin" would be a sweet name for a song. I wish I had thought of that.<br><b>References : </b><br> He’s so not taking things seriously you need to take these things in your own hands if he’s not. His lyrics?

(please say you aren't singing his songs because those were some of the crappest lyrics I've ever heard!). Sometimes singers (because they are generally the front people) assume they are the leaders of the band or that because they are singing the lyrics they have to have written them. I think you just need to make it clear to him that everyone in the band is equal.<br><b>References : </b><br> personally I think if you are seriously thinking of the band as a long term thing you have to get on with each other, otherwise you would be spending alot of time with people you can’t stand (or a person)
