Is it bad to date the lead singer ???

[ThudThudThud]

In my experience:
Yes.
Somewhat.
No.
No. (especially if the singer is in your friends' band)

Note:
Kate Bush & Del Palmer
John McVie & Christine Perfect
Joni Mitchell & Larry Klein
Some women like bass players...

When one of you dumps the other things go south. It can create a toxic workplace.
You wanna hear her sing "you oughta know" by Alanis Morrisette 3 or 4 times per set??

I'm going to take an alternative position. I'm married, and my wife is more important to me than any band I ever played in. So to that point, if you think there is a chance it will work out with the singer, then who cares if it breaks up the band? Love and relationships are more important than bands, you can find another band if it doesn't work out.

ARE YOU TRYING TO RUIN HIS LIFE!?!?!?

In the past, they use to say don't dip your pen in the company ink well....
A band is not a company however unless you hit it big and even then....
Carlos Santana married his drummer Cindy Blackman so there are instances when it works! And there are instances when it did not work out, see the Fleetwood Mac file.

Ask Ann or Nancy Wilson

John & Christine may not be the best example. Especially if there’s a touring sound and lighting tech that the OP needs to worry about.

Well played, sir. Well played.

I'm average height, but that low hanging fruit is well within my reach.

I'd been dating the lead singer for 2 months now but I heard that's generally frowned upon to date your bandmates is it true?

The solution to this problem is marriage.

It wasn't bad for Fleetwood Mack.

Anyone mention Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa?

You have to decide whether trying the relationship out will be worth whatever the potential loss would realistically mean for you.

Of course, you could (maybe should) talk it out with your mates. Especially, if you're genuinely close friends.

 

[Jeff Hughes]

Band politics can be weird anyways. You have now created a semi-autonomous state within your internationally respected boundaries.

Good luck.

Ike and Tina Turner…..wait…..never mind…..

Ike and Tina Turner…..wait…..never mind…..

I'm going to open a can of worms and say, no Ike, no Tina Turner.

I've been married to the lead singer for 40 years.
