I've noticed that my natural tendency is to turn the "interview" on the band seeking a member. In the real world, we all know a job interview is a business going through a selection process of wading through people desperately trying to get hired. The potential employee puts on his best show to get the job if he wants it. Fine. A band seeking a member is in theory a business seeking an employee. I look at it differently though. I always end up making it a "is your band worthy of my time?" kind of thing. While they're judging me I'm quadruple judging them. Maybe I'm too picky or too narcissistic, but I don't consider bands that aren't my style, and I know what I'm doing with my kind of music, so I demand near perfection from the people I play with.
Anyone else an uncompromising self-centered douchebag like me? If not, you should be.
