I want to be a vocalist, but my voice is piss poor.
I'm trained, I can sing in key, and all that, but my vocal tone itself is god-fucking-awful. Light backup vocals at best.
So I don't sing. What a novel concept, huh? Then why are there vocalists even worse then me out there trying to get gigs?
As to drummers, I wonder if they get tired of being abused by the lead guitarist and quit, or get bitter and start going pay-to-play to force the guitarist to appreciate them?
I found one band that deals with the drummer-guitarist thing pretty well: The drummer formed the band, and writes all the songs. If it were't for him, the guitarist would have nothing to do.
of course, the same band uses a guitar player for bassist. Yeah, I know, I play guitar as well as bass, and I played guitar first, but really, I'm a bassist. It's where my talent truely lies, and it's what I prefer to do. Not this guy. He whines about his bass more than I wine about classes. Dude, if the strings are too thick for your poor baby fingers, I'll buy you a first act. Come back when you can play with the big kids.
