    UPDATE When is it time to move on?

    I took some of y'all's advice and said I wanted a to take a break. I sent a well thought out email, sent to a friend to have him take a look at and add his advice and critiques. I slept on it, sent the next morning. I saw a couple responses and didn't want to read too soon and ruin my holiday...

    When is it time to move on?

    Thanks for all the responses and advice. I tried to edit my original post to include the info I have included in responses but I could not. As this time I'm not making and hair trigger decisions, just wanted to hear what other's experiences were, I appreciate the thoughts!

    When is it time to move on?

    I feel that, especially being on the other side, but having that black dog in the corner. It's almost a daily check with what sparks joy and what doesn't. I love riding and have two motorcycles, but only went on 2 rides this year. Sometimes I get focused on other things/projects. I really...

    When is it time to move on?

    This has been ongoing, but not consistent. Some songs come in pretty much finished, while others are a bit looser. I presented a song a couple months back (same one I presented in 2019) and we worked on it for one rehearsal. To me, one of the guitars and drummer were less than thrilled to...

    When is it time to move on?

    100% to staying professional. I may not be "feeling it" like I used to but I'm still doing my best to write the best parts I can, even if it is for the next guy.

    When is it time to move on?

    Again, thank you BassBrass and Killing Floor for your well thought out replies. I'm confident it's not depression driving these feelings because I know what those feelings and thought patterns look like. I have spent a lot of sessions with my therapist about my issues even band related. The...

    When is it time to move on?

    These are all amazing ideas, thank you all for your insight! I should also mention I am in two other bands/projects and will still be playing and creating music, just not as many shows but still recording. I like the idea of a hiatus but one aspect that's been an issue is how the band writes new...

    When is it time to move on?

    I've been playing with my current group for just shy of 7 years. We've put out 3 EP's, a full length and a handful of music videos. I used to be excited about working on new material (we write original tunes) and couldn't wait to write a killer bass line. For about the past year the excitement...

    What do you eat the day of a big gig?

    My band has an album release show tonight, 2.5 years in the making, we got merch, CDs, vinyls, all in preparation for our big show. I've played through the set multiple times this week, triple checked my rig, new strings the whole 9. I really want tonight to go as smoothly as possible and was...
