How to quit a band?
Consider this scenario. You hate playing for your band. You hate their attitudes and the music don’t sound right either. And you can’t tell them this because you want to be polite. Eventually you give up and want to quit your band. How would you do it? Any recommendations?

I think there are two paths that can be taken here. One is to be honest and tell your bandmates how you feel about continuing with them. While ideals such as honesty are certainly lofty, they are are tricky because we never get to be honest in a vacuum. there are always implications and consequences. So its quite possible that your bandmates may not see eye to eye with you on this. The second and less painful, also somewhat treacherous, would be to tell your bandmates you are taking a break from music for a while. Lay low till the whole furor dies down and start with a new and more creatively pleasing ensemble. This is certainly easier and may perhaps ease the resultant blow to your friendship.
