girls getting in the way

Take up vocals. Start your own band.

Kick problem players out, replace.

Vocal lessons, advertisements targetting viable seasoned "hit the ground running" muso's, rehearsal rooms, gear and pre-gig expenses all cost money this dude just doesn't have at the moment.
He needs to invest "band building" time into getting a job first!

AGREED!

If you want music to be a real income source, you have to take control in one of the following ways:

1. Get good enough that people want to call you for freelance work

2. Create a good enough project so you can book gigs on your own and hire others for freelance work

Neither of these things preclude being in a band.

Here's my story with crazy girls and band members. I don't know which crazy girl of ours takes the cake.

Time to put together a contingency plan

So, this guy is bonkers enough to let someone who physically lit him on fire remain unincarcerated, yet you expect him to make sensible decisions?

Find a legitimate source of income and stop hanging out with nutters.

No pics.= No crazy chicks getting in the way.

Sorry, them's the rules.

I talked to the guitarist about it he says I'm using the band to manipulate him into making a decision he doesn't want to make.

I don't even understand the logic behind that.

Dude has his ears attached to the wrong head there. You were essentially trying to reason with his penis.
