I keep seeing lots of ads, particularly on Facebook groups, asking for band members.
They go something like this:
Band members wanted.
We need:
Lead guitarist
Keys
Drums
Bass
Genres:
Pop, rock, punk, blues, metal, 70s, 80s, 90s 00s...
Etc.
Mate, you aren't a band. You're one fucking bloke who plays a bit of rhythm and thinks he can sing.
There is no "we" ...unless you're including your mum because she'll give you a lift to a gig / practice just to get you out of your bedroom.
Rant over. Excuse me.
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you

Band looking for rhythm/lead guitarist for stuff I love to play but we're 20 years younger than you and in a different post of the country
Advertisements, recruiting musicians for new bands, should be worded differently. Also, if recruiting for a properly organised music project, it would be both reasonable and desirable to specify the music genre.
And don't they often also say "gigs already lined up". What, with no band???
Rant totally justified Chris

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youMaybe it's just anecdotal evidence but in my experience the ones with enough balls to be upfront about leading a band were good at it. The ones who did it by stealth were useless.
People who WANT control should pay their sidekicks at union rates (or, if appropriate, multiples thereof).
