I've been in many bands with such a mix of songs, I'm still in one, they've all been busy enough. 

This.

One of the things about being in a covers band is having a wide repertoire to suit the venue/audience/occasion. When i was gigging with my last band, having a setlist based on a single genre would have seriously cut down our bookability.

It's the nature of auditions that a lot of them are a waste of time and it goes with the territory. Sometimes something will just click, not necessarily just the music either.

 

Yes, some end up being a waste of time... but when someone comes to the audition unprepared for it, it's a waste of time before it starts: it shows lack of consideration.

@bubinga5 is practising his fingers off. No time to come back to the thread and give us an update. 😉
Good choice.
That or phoning them last Friday and saying it's not for him.
