    My particular favourite being when the band members agreed on 3 new songs to learn, and so I booked a rehearsal room for a week's time. Turned up for rehearsal the following week and it became obvious that the drummer hadn't even listened to them. I just asked him outright if he'd learned them, and he replied 'I've had a quick listen'. Spent the entire 3 hour rehearsal on one song. I put up with it for ages as he was a reliable guy and not a tw@t, but in the end enough was enough..the band didn't continue without me. Says it all really.

    This is so similar to our situation at the minute Lew, i had to look to see if i had written it!! Our drummers exact words when i asked if he'd learnt them was "i had a quick listen" too!!
    Its the same apart from him being reliable actually <_< He has forgotten about a couple of practices and is often late.
    But it's like you say we are all mates after playing together for as long as we have.
    Worst/most annoying part for me is our drummer thought it was ok, and not an issue, because it "all comes together in the end"

  2. I am like you, and probably overthink it.
    Took a lot of time to come up with something we all liked.
    Strangely, we thought some of the names were better suited for originals bands, rather than function bands. I didn't even realise that was "a thing".
    The one i came up with that i really liked, but was more suited to originals was "All the kings horses".

    Apparently, the recording session will be instruments recorded seperately, with drummer first to a click track, then me, etc

    No problems then.
    If you're confident you know the songs, doesn't really matter if you've played it as a band before or not (for this recordings sake) as you wont be playing it all together anyway.

  4. If you have learnt the songs for the set ( i'm going by what you've said), i don't see how the recording will be too much of an issue for you?
    As long as the songs you are set to record are out of the 25 you've learnt.
    I agree with you it's not ideal, but it's a studio session so if you don't nail it first time, you can always have another go.
    They know you're pretty new to the set, so i doubt they'd expect perfection 1st take.
    How is it being recorded? A live take? Or drums down first and everything else on top?
