Performer vs Musician
So recently I told one of my band members I want out, and at first, he was cool with it, but the more he thought, the more he became 'uncool' about it, so he sent me a message requesting me to reconsider my decision. I don't know why, but I think I replied him an essay telling him what my reasons (note: not excuses) were. It revolved around:
1) Having a vocalist who cannot deliver
2) Having a band who prefers playing originals to covers
And finally, I left him a question:
"Are you a performer or a musician?"
I see myself as a performer, and my role is to entertain people with my music. I'm not a musician because firstly, I'm not a good one. Secondly, and more importantly, I don't just play musical instruments. More than just to tell people that I can play music, I want people to enjoy the music I play.
So yeah, after the question, I hit the 'SEND' button. Now, I'll just have to wait and see.
A question to you all - Am I harsh?
