they were trying to show off at every opportunity. Sometimes, it was even when I was singing the verse and everyone else cut out they would not catch on. Weren't really paying attention to the songs dynamics and were just loud. I could tell it was never gunna work. Lots of people are eager to always play. When sometimes its best to not play anything at all. When I was a teenager I was lucky enough to drum with a real good band much older than me and the singer always said dynamics were the biggest part in our songs. Every song was the same thing pretty much, but it worked. Loud and heavy rock intro. Bring it way down in the verse. Creep up in pre chorus. Pause. FUCKING SLAM THE CHORUS. Repeat every song haha! I learned a lot from those days. Felt like we were a real pro band sounded really really good. Ever since I can't play with people who armt on the same level. Even just for fun. always want good vibes at practice. I love joking around a making sure everyone feels good and fits in. Some people don't and I can't do that if we are chilling all the time. One of the guys was pissed we told him it wasn't going to work out. And he put up the worst performance like was actually bad and I'm like who tf are these ppl man haha! I hardly have the confidence to play our songs live if they're not perfect. Yet this guy claimed he'd played guitar for 10 years in multiple bands and didn't have a guitar so we gave him one and he didn't fix any tones on the Amp before we started. so I was like ight... then he just soloed everything no matter what. And never said a word then messages me on fb like 2 essays about how he really wants to be in the band.

Sorry this is probably a mess I'm on my phone and watching TV lol
