Funny video but having been in more bands than I can remember over the past 50 years first rehearsals have always been just the opposite. Everyone is on their best behavior and not till everyone has gotten comfortable do the real personalities and problems start to surface which sucks because a lot has already been invested, not necessarily $ but everything else. Several times I have thought, oh man these guy are great, this band is going to work, then a month later literally being ready to strangle at least one of them. Also though I play several instruments I always get called for bass. I've never allowed myself to be treated in the clique "bass player" fashion but I've always been handled with kid gloves anyway because I own a killer PA system. Aaand the fact that I'm 6'4"/225 helps a bit lol

[@MichaelSheaAudio]

It's been 11 years since I last started a new band - actually, that's not true, it's been like 9 years. The band I started 11 years ago, I was the guitar player, and before ever having a practice, we threw out a few cover songs we could learn quickly and play them together. I can write, but I can't improvise, so this worked out well. After that band broke up, the drummer stayed, I moved to bass, and we got our friend from high school that I played with in my first band on guitar. We didn't learn anything and just went straight into writing something by jamming. I was not a fan of this and I peaced out after 2 sessions. Didn't help that I wasn't into the style of music the other two were going for. XD
