I recently joined a new band and the bass player doesnt understand drop D. He started tuning all his strings down a step instead of just dropping the E down to D. He has never played any drop D stuff and thats hard for me to believe..... The dude mostly plays old metal. I was a shred metal guitarist back in the 80's so I dont have a prob with the music, its just that Ive been there and done that and a few metal songs is OK as I have recorded some recently.
The dude also has some rough recordings of metal jamming like Metallicas Orion. He calls it a song? Im 40 and dont have a lot of time to waste anymore, so I hope Im not viewed as a dick, but I think the dude has to go. I have a few albums worth of material all complete , recorded and with lyrics, yet the dude seems uninterested. The rest of the band likes the songs.
Man, I didnt get back into gigin to deal with this shit again...Should I fire the dude, or just walk away and continue recording my own shit in my own studio?
Some input would be greatly appreciated.
