Is it bad to date the lead singer ???

[Spectre Gunner]

Dating a member of your band can’t be any worse than crowdsourcing relationship advice from total strangers on the internet.

...not to mention paying for this advice.

 

[Torrente Cro]

If the band is a democracy, the couple become a voting bloc that can shut out the wishes of their bandmates.

This!

Go with your heart. If it also breaks up the band, so be it.

I won't participate in any band project that has a "dedicated couple" embedded. Double-down if either is the BL or lead singer which is 99% of the time. Come to think of it, I won't deal with any entity that has spouse & spouse ownership or management.

Are you single? Can't answer without that info.

Well, it never did Fleetwood Mac any harm!`

I'm not too sure about that.(I know it's a joke) Stevie wrote songs about what an a$$hat her ex was, and then made him sing them.

I recall the Mamas & Papas doing the same..."I saw her again last night...".

Never poop where you eat.

I’ve seen it work plenty of times. It all depends upon the maturity level of the people involved.

The only people I warn others not to date are stage managers and redheads.

The issue is whether any personal issues will affect the band. All fine while things are going well, but...

Um, yeah. I am the last person you want ask for advice about romantic relationships!

 

[ahbradot]

I always thought trying sleep with the lead singer was the goal as it sure can make for good writing material later on after all the carnage is done.

 

[Ggaa]

I know one pair who have been a couple now for 40 years. But if a certain one of them has a gig(their skills are different) the other comes along and expects to be on stage too. That one doesn't get many sub calls because of that.

Omg

 

[MattZilla]

I was in one band where two members were poor-people married for years before I came along.

They were fine.

lol or nut width........pic for reference

sometimes these relationships work or not.....

 

[Mannyinnewyork]

It can work. I played in a band, hooked up with the lead singer, we moved in together. Eventually we broke up but we still played in bands together, she did vocals on many of my original songs and we are still good friends 50 years later.

 

[micguy]

Rumors sold a lot of vinyl, but your band probably won't be that successful - with or without the breakup inspiration. Then again, Taylor Swift has gotten a lot of songs from her breakups. I say go for it. The messier the better.

I dated someone in one of my bands. The band broke up. We got married. Then we broke up. I don't write songs....hmmm, maybe I should.

When I was younger our roadie dated the lead singer when we were on the road. When we were in town she hung out with her husband. You can imagine the outcome.
