I'd love to do them but get over my frankly ridiculously square bandmates,

I suppose the 'band leader' thing is a bit different in all the bands I've been in. The 'leader' is the mouthpiece for the band, the one people contact for gig bookings and who looks after whatever piffling amount we get paid. As far as the musical stuff goes, it's a group effort. If one member wrote all the songs the rest may as well be in a covers band. With us all being adults, we can all accept compromise and usually it turns out for the best, as we all have a different way of looking at things. If there was one Billy Big Bollocks ordering me around I'm not sure I could cope, I get enough of that at work.
Of course, this is how it's always worked for me (and it has worked). If I cared less (if at all) about what I played and just wanted to play for the sake of it, I can see the leader thing being fine with me.
And the dreadful songs thing... you got me. Although I'd rather play a shit song I wrote than Sex on Fire :P
Edit: I just need to point out it is a new covers band dedicated to metal, not a covers band dedicated to nu metal.
See, now that sounds reasonable. The way it was being described earlier ITT sounded like a nightmare.
The same person doesn't have to be the leader all the time, but I'd suggest that any group needs leadership all the time.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
