Default Re: The band can't play in time

I'm curious as to how they got in the band in the first place if they can't play.
The cold war is over and any asshole with a guitar and amp can be in a band, unfortunately. Of course, this means that there are 3 types of "serious" bands....pro level bands that are already signed, bands that knocking on the door of being signed, and bands that don't have a chance in a hell of anything resembling a clue.

Playing to a click is not that difficult. Just show them how to bob their head to the beat and the rest will fall in. If they can't figure it out in 10-20 minutes, there is something wrong. If they haven't practiced to a click before or at least played along to their favorite cds, something is wrong.

I hope this isn't the band you are producing. If it is, I think you may have made a grave mistake in working with them unless the lead singer is amazing (and amazing looking) and the songwriting is mind blowing.
