I am starting to regret being in bands at all...
My next (side) project, I'm just going to hire everyone so shit actually gets done and there is no arguing over whats happening and why and all that...
My current band hasn't played a show in over a year (mostly due to losing a member but we've been a full band again for over 6 months now)...
I've had all the tracks (7) for our EP ready for vocals and solos since May of this year... currently we only have two done... and thats only because I've pushed and pushed to get it done...
I'm the primary writer for 6 of the 7 songs and dealing with copyright is becoming a pain in the arse... as I've understood it and by looking at many cd booklets, typically lead guitarists don't get copyright on a song they contribute a solo to if they don't write any other part of the song... am I wrong to think that is an ok way to treat copyright? How do you people go about that?
We've assigned "roles" in the band, yet it still seems like no one takes any initiative to do anything that they are supposed to... sigh.
Today I've officially given in and I'm just going to let them do whatever it is they want and stop trying to make the band produce anything.
Woot.
...I don't even know anymore...
