Why do bands break up and not get back together?

Why do bands break up?

People often ask me this question along with the countless other questions that came with being in a touring band.

So,  why do bands break up?

Very simple.   Do you ever fight with your parents, sister, brother, friends?
Have you ever had anyone close to you do something unforgiveable?  Take your money?  Take all the credit for doing something?  Sleep with your partner?

It's a pretty easy question to answer actually.

Bands start out as innocent as a new relationship or friendship.  With all the good intentions in the world but as time goes on and demands grow, just like in familys, friendships and relationships people begin to drift apart.  Also, peoples true personalities come out and begin to clash.  You can't keep up a facade forever.  It doesn't work in marriages, It ain't gonna work in a band.

So why do the great bands break up and never get back together?

Simple:  take the fomula i wrote above + large amounts of money= breakup.

I, like everyone else hate to see it happen and often find myself saying the same things alot of people do:

"stop bitching and just get back together already"!

Although this is a nice thought, we are all forgetting one thing:

They are musicians/artists and to think an entire band doesn't contain at least one wacky/bi polar/ecentric type is like wishing General Petraeus was not full of shit and had a mistress all along.

You can wish for things but we are all just human so leave the "Perfection" out of the equation and you'll usually find the true answer.

but for the record.....I would like to simply state: "I wish an un named singer of the band in the video was stop being such a wack job and the band would just f*ckin' get back together already!

Rock on Rockers!
