I left my own band once for the promise of something bigger and better…I took the drummer with me.
I stuck with them for 4/5 years.
We did a lot - but I was at someone else’s behest and i couldn’t do it anymore.
”ah man, I’m off in Peru for 6 months to find myself”
We re-recorded the second album 3 times and I got really f***ing bored of the nonsense. And the drugs; I’ve never been a chemicals person - but they f***ing loved it. Surely enough they’re all teetotallers now 🙄
I regretted that decision - my own band had been getting some decent gigs and was writing some good songs.
I just missed playing bass…as I was singing (of a fashion) and playing guitar.
