Being in a band

I join Black Francis, it's a big commitment to make and you have to work really hard if you want a bit of celebrity.
But being in a band is awesome, you cross the road of many musicians, exchanges you can have altered the way you can play your instruments. I prefer to play with friends to jam and improvise some stuff. In those case, it doesn't matter to want to be fame or be cool, it's just a lot of fun.

From my experience, the ratio of time spent arguing about stupid things / time spent actually playing music has always been the bad side of being in a band. But I guess the same thing can be said about most of collective activities.

Its true i don't regret struggling with my bandmates to get a gig or all the hours we spent practicing our songs those were good times

However MAKING IT in the music biz is f*ckin hard! Not everybody starts a band for the same reasons, like i remember the guitarist in my first band dreamed of stardom he honestly thought our ****ty band was going to make it, NAY revolutionise the music industry lolol

His main purpose for starting a band was to get famous and like him ive met a bunch of musicians with that same goal to get famous
