Anyway, I'm going to say my bit after reading the input on this page (I skipped all the stuff in the middle). Bands break up because they don't have a talented enough leader. I "join" a band and if there isn't enough direction, I leave. Move to a big city and advertise that you're available and you'll get calls. But unless there's somebody with enough talent directing the band, you'll get nowhere. Think of every single successful band on the planet.

The end.
