Famous Last Words...

In one of my bands from years gone by, the drummer knocked up the lead singer and the both quit the band.

Your situation should be just fine

 

[Saxn]

Go for it. Nothing bad ever happens.

 

[bluewine]

I did this once. Bad idea. Trust me.

Bad idea for me too, but did I really have a choice?

"yes" or "no" answers only

Hmmm... wonder what this red button does?

This scenario cost one of my bands a major label deal... Just be sure you don't cheat your band mates out their experience or at least disclaim their investment in your relationship.

One more beer then we can go grab that alligator you saw.

 

[NWB]

Ah, what could happen?

The band implodes? Most bands do that eventually anyway. You just shorten the time-frame.

In the greater scheme of things, not really a whole lot to lose by it.

I just bought a Fodera without telling the wife, but I think it's gunna be ok!

^ This made me laugh.

My guitarist is doing this with his girlfriend. He's obsessed with the whole band being great and wants everyone to contribute fantastic guitar, bass and drum lines. but the truth is the weakest point is his g/f's singing. she's a mediocre singer at best and really isn't on par with the skill level of the rest of the band but when I spoke to him about it he claimed its a good fit and that if we get rid of her he quits. Then he will start nit picking everyone everyone else in the band about what there doing wrong and tell me that hes actively looking to replace one or two member's cuz there not contributing enough complexity.

He also tried to do this in a band we were in together a while back with a different girlfriend. Never brought her on because she was terrible. He kept trying to convince us though. even made us sit through 3 different auditions for her and different times to convince us.

I honestly really hate romantic relationships in bands because it leads to members being blind to problems and overly defensive to real solutions. If its just the 2 of you then go for it. Don't make others suffer by forming a band though. just my .02

Starting a band with a girl that I'm sortof seeing, but I think it's gunna be ok.

Just keep telling yourself that....but, in case you forgot, you're playing around with disaster. Chances are high the personal feelings are going to get in the way of the music............................................and it's ugly when it blows up.

Good luck.

Total WIN!!!!!!!

It's a 50/50 chance that it'll work out.

According to how most relationships work out these days. Staying together either working in the band or on a personal level is unfortunately unlikely.

No to be negative but...How many instruments have you sold or traded in the last 3-5 years that you absolutely loved or couldn't live without when you first bought them. It can be the same with women for some people.

Guilty as charged, lol

 

[Munjibunga]

FLW, indeed.

 

[Moloch666]

It's all good, we're not sortof seeing one another now.
Yeah, things happen that fast around these parts.

(...and there's no issues with her seeing the other guy in the band, she already went there and won't ever again.)

When you break up, make it as miserable and horrible as possible. You'll end up with a chart-topping record on your hands.

I don't think he's dating Taylor Swift
