I want to be in a band with my friends cuz i think it would be really cool but i guess in the end you will have to find people that share your same dream and hopefully you'll become good friends and make a good band. You can still be their friends but if they've got other dreams let them follow them and you keep going with your band. [ imagine2006's advice column | Ask imagine2006 A Question ]

It's okay to jam with them sometimes even if you don't stay with your current band for the rest of forever. Work with some other musicians that are as into it as you are. It's understandable to feel stuck when you're the only one who buckles down and gets the work done. Make it clear to your friends that you still want to hang out with them and play with them, but you want to expand your own musical talents by working with some other musicians. The best way to do this is just by talking to people and maybe setting up a few times to jam out in the garage or whatever. If your friends are really your friends, they'll understand and will want you to go on with your music. [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]

You have to be bossy with them and tell them to put more effort in. Or you could find i new band and make them realize how much they needed you with them.
christina answered Sunday September 10 2006, 9:50 am: Tell them to put more effort in, or you're quitting and finding a new band. I realize it's harsh, and that they're your friends, but you have to be stern with them so that they get the point.
