This thread is for those of you who playing in bands who are either type A in terms of staying busy writing, gigging -Practicing and arriving to practice actually Prepared. This is me. I am active with several other hobbies which is healthy in numerous aspects, however I do not have kids and apart from a 40 hour work week and my other hobbies I have a lot of time to prep, find gigs practice ect.
Or maybe you are more laid back and have members in your band who are like this and can share how you keep the friction down and relate with them?
I have a really good job, tons of top shelf gear, my own studio on two acres -a blessed man. I do not bring this up to brag just to say I do not play for the $, but for fun. Being type A intense kinda guy (who at least is aware of it, many are not) I tend to take things too seriously and want to have a tight well rehearsed band which results in me getting irritated and upset with the other guys -whom I am blessed to play with and have in my life. Most bands I am willing to bet are not made up of 4-5 guys that share the same level of commitment or intensity other wise they would rip each others heads off.
So what is the best methods you have found in relating to the 'other' kind of musician? Wow, this sounds like marriage counseling eh?
