A band is not a marriage. There are no oaths of allegiance. If you feel your life will be better served by splitting up the group, you've got to do it - but of course it does cause problems.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being in a band is a really magical thing because you've got a family and you operate as this one entity. It's very democratic; everyone is involved in the output. But within that, there can be a lot of disagreements and strife.
It's a really bad idea to be in a band and get involved with each other.
When you get together in a group, it becomes like a family, with the different personalities and the politics that comes with being in a band. It's different than bringing something in by yourself.
I've seen bands split up for five years and do nothing. That sounds great to me, but it just hasn't worked out that way.
When you form a band, you form a real relationship that's like a marriage. It's an emotional connection, especially when you're young... because you don't know what's out there.
Being in a band is always a compromise. Provided that the balance is good, what you lose in compromise, you gain by collaboration.
A band is like a marriage - you don't know why it works, but when it does, everything feels right.
As far as I can see there are no problems with people in our band as far as the relationships go anyway.
You learn how to compromise and you learn how to read each other. Honestly, being in a band with two guys has prepared me so much for when it's time for me to get married!
People forget that keeping a band together is hard; man, it's really hard. All the cliches apply about living in each other's pockets; of it being a relationship, a marriage, a family.
