For example, the guitar player and drummer in the classic rock band don't like alternative rock so they're heart (and style of playing) is just not into it. And vice-versa with the alternative band (except they are willing to do some classic rock).

Besides, being in two bands can take all the fun out of it. If Ive learned anything about being a musician through the years is there is nothing worse than being/becoming a "frustrated musician". It has to be/stay FUN!
