Music has been the only thing that ive ever stuck with...ive been in and out of bands,toured,recorded blah blah blah....for a while i had trouble finding a band in my area that was doing anything that i wanted to do so i ended up just not letting my ideas go to waste and i started writin some shit..i came up with 11 songs then once i finished the writing i went and bought pro tools and now months later am still working with that and trying to learn everything i can...i can play bass and guitar and im fairly decent at programming drums so i left it at that...i did all the writing on the music end and figured that ill find a singer and get it moving a little bit so i dont feel like such a waste. only thing is ive been searchin for like 2-3 years for a singer...i dont know what im doing wrong...i have no ego whatsoever...im picky in the sense that i just want the stuff to sound good as ive put a ton of work into it and i dont wanna ruin it by putting someone who i feel isnt capable...the thing is i cant even get to that point...i find people that are all "yeah man this shit sounds great i cant wait to work on it"...then thats the last i ever hear from them
So now, after searching basically the whole world, i find out that a dude whos pretty decent lives right down the street from me...so i called him and hes into doing it...the potential is there...but it took me about 3 weeks to get him to even get in to do some scratch vocals...and his excuse was "i know how you are with music so i wanted to make sure i had it all and it was perfect"...which is all fine by me im sure anyone would like to hear something like that. But when he finally came in to do some tracking, he only had like half of the song. He planned on singing and screaming in the song. He only had the screaming part written, and it wasnt even for the full song he had 2 verses and a chorus. And now this is after "3 weeks of doing nothing but working on this song" I understand these things take time but for 3 weeks that just seems like a half assed effort...which right now hes all i can find so i have to deal with it. But i feel like i gotta babysit this kid and be like hey man try not to get to drunk tonight so that your not too hungover to track tomorrow. Or I have to remind him 10 times of what day were tracking. Or he just doesnt even show up and i hear nothing from him for a few days and then he apologizes and says hes serious about it and all that stuff. So now here i am today..its 130 here...he was supposed to show up at 11...still havent heard any word from him and dont think im gonna hear anything for a few days again.
Being i cant find anyone else should i just suck it up and deal with this shit or should i kick him to the curb and start the search over again? After reading this again it really seems like a bad relationship haha...oh well...what should i do?
