My band has two things going on. First, our band with our singer, and second, as a backing band to a singer who is really good but is a real prick to get along with. We played a show with him this weekend, and our band also opened for him. Practices with him have been super tense. For example on one song, he told our keyboardist at practice not to play. Then this weekend, during the middle of the song, he came and jumped onto her for not playing on that song. During one of our band's songs, he basically made our drummer quit playing and took over the drums (good, but that's not the point). He is arrogant, but has a fragile ego: we were supposed to open with ten songs. Five songs in (we were playing great), he stopped us and said we'd played enough, cutting our time and set in half. Our singer was naturally pissed off.
Anyway, we have a 4th of July gig with him, but after that, I just don't want to back the guy. He's got the ego of Hitler, the stage presence of a glam Vegas singer, and insecurities which he covers over by name dropping artists he claims to have worked with--I googled him and found that his claims have been discounted, sometimes by the artists themselves.
We're all just looking forward to playing our last gig with him.
