What to do when your lead singer complains

Hey guys,
I am new to the forum, but i have some questions and maybe others have the same.
I joined two guys who wanted to start a ska punk band, one is a drummer the other one is a singer with no band experience.
after making some songs we found a keyboard player and we where ready to gig and such, after the first gig we got a guitar player joining us. the new guys really get the feel and ideas we want to get trough. They follow my fills and ask a lot what to do.
But now, the singer is saying that my bass lines are to difficult to sing on, also he said that it is unfair for the other members. I wrote the music and instructed the new guys so they can play along and i do give them space to have a certain lead/percussive role. What can i do/say?


for a little bit of background information, he likes the new generation party ska punk and pop country whereas i listen to older generations rocksteady ska & 2tone. Also he is a virgin and i get all the chicks, is that a factor?

 

Well it surely is a collaboration, but when no one can make a decision at all i jump in start creating with the ideas everyone has. The thing i think it is, is that he see my playing as melodic interference, what for me is weird because i just play the chords on the beat, he has all the space to create melodies with it. But what can you say to an insecure singer idk? maybe playing root notes in chord progression but then we are stuck because a progression which should be ii iv V I VI turns into a, II IV V I VI,,,

 

We talk a lot, there is no hierarchy settled, yet. Ofcourse, a good meeting should be applied. But still it is just a bit strange and i don't really know yet how to look at it, so some different perspectives are welcome.

 

Maybe the band should re-educate him with a broader palette of music?

 

Yeah, never sacrifice the music but always be reasonable.

 

He could be, and we do talk freely. But concrete talk is also important otherwise you could give the wrong impression, and i am not really sure what he meant with what he said.

 

nahh he is a okay, he even is a better singer for the genre too.

 

i reallt get that, but maybe i wasn't
