Dear MYFRIENDDOESN’TROCK, this is a toughie. On the one hand, you don’t want to ruin the chemistry of your band. But on the other hand, you don’t want to ruin your friendship with this guy. Before you tell your friend “no,” maybe you can offer him a smaller role in your band. Sure, he has no musical ability, but maybe he could shake a tambourine or blow some sort of police whistle. If he’s still bad at that, ask him if he’d be interested in being your manager. Every good band needs a manager, and he could help you get a ton of great gigs while you focus on the music. If he’s not interested in that, then you’re going to have to let him down easy. If he’s truly your friend, he’ll understand. Good luck with your friend, and good luck with your band. I can’t wait to see you guys play! | | | Dear MYFRIENDDOESN’TROCK, this is easy. I don’t know what is wrong with you people. Just tell him he’s a horrible musician and let him deal with it! He’ll get over it eventually. As for your band… do you guys need a singer? I don’t want to brag, but I have an AWESOME voice. Well, actually, its not that good, but I’m really cute and if you put me in your band, you’d get a lot more girls coming to your shows. Just a thought. | |
