#1: This comes down to control issues. A really poisonous personality clash can happen when one or more members have urgent ambitions, and others just want to have fun. No coincidence that this is the first item in the list. This is often the first problem to arise.

I think the most insidious of the band-killers you've listed is #2. It's the reason behind so many solo projects that get in the way of a band's progress together. If you create something, you usually have a pretty clear sense of what it should sound like, and how it should be done. When you present your baby to the rest of the band, it will inevitably get changed as the rest of the players interpret what you've given them. It could be due to stylistic differences; it could be that some of 'em can't do what you expect of them. Picture the look on Jimmy Page's face the first time he heard Dred Zeppelin doing regae versions of his best material! :eek:

#3: Can't say I've been there, myself. But I suggest that even a brief glance at Motley Crue can illustrate the point. Well-adjusted human beings. NOT. :rolleyes:
