Sorry to hear about the band thing man. I know how shit can go sour in 0.31 seconds in a band situation. We had a drummer who put the band before his bandmates personal lives and jobs. Hell he would ditch his gf to go jamming when they planned to do shit that night. He had dedication which is prioroty in music... but at wrong times.
Got to the point that he would bitch if I took my pager to practice with me because I was schedualed to work that night and the band knew for 3 weeks in advance. The straw that broke my back was when I had notified the band that I was planning to go shoot pool and get drunk with my friends and fiance a month in advance. I constantly reminded them. Saturday comes. "hey man we are jamming, I'll come pick you up in 5".
Then I say "well, don't you rmemeber me telling you about me not being available tonight for the past month?"
His response.... "whats more important.. the band or your chat friends" I don't know wtf was up with that but that turned me off music right there. I have done nothing but try my best to keep the music tight and conprehendable and bust my balls trying to keep my basslines interesting enough to keep their jazz and fussion influences happy... all the while us being a meat and potatoes type rock band. And this is the treatment I got. I left the band. Sold my bass and got into porn. Got ahold of some guitar gear and started writing my own shit.
