Interesting. it was a common interest in punk rock music and #2 just “let’s have a jam” then some further energy coming from that. Then I went an bought 3 pedals and a new guitarSounds like that drummer is quite focussed on goal #3. If he is the (informal) leader of the group, he might get what he wants. There can be only one ego tripper in a group, and if you wanna go places with the group, then best is to have no (full-time) ego tripper at all.
And that is indeed what you see a lot: put some random people in a group, and you'll see drama about power, leadership, all the bad human stuff. If you mix boys & girls there's an extra level of tension. Lots of TV reality shows are based on this simple concept.
But most people are basically decent in my experience.
I’ll have to check out his fave band ( The Replacements) & learn I reckon to keep him interested .Yeah takes a fair while and many debates to settle on the material usually. Then a singer/new singer comes along ..and it’ll all change .
Ideally the formula is to build a band around the singer I reckon.
Yes the Big Ego,
Last long term band it was the Rush fanatic drummer w the massive kit ( “The Red Beast”) ,,who thought he was Neil Peart. And improv’ed all the fills in every song to ‘improve them’
Always wanted form a Led Zep tribute myself..wanna wear that dragon suit and sling a Les Paul with ‘John Bonham’ thundering behind me. Or a Deep Purple tribute with a keyboardist.
Or an Iggy/Stooges tribute band… or….
