I need some help with my band?

Ok, well I started a band. We played covers for a couple of months and then this last few weeks we've started writin' out own stuff and all of the sudden our vocalist and rhythm guitarist wrote this awful song called Butterflies and Flowers. He says it has a story, but he's made his vocals so high picted in it you can hardly hear it and the guitar line goes from a mellow melody to a heavy metal heading banging catastrophe and he is the only one who wants to play it at gigs and I was wondering what I should. I've thought about kickin' him out, but we've been best friends since we were in first grade. Its just kind of a meessed up problem.

I had a similar problem once. Work with him on it. Try to put something you like over what he's playing. Believe it or not it actually does work. If you focus on what you're playing %26amp; getting into your own 'zone,' everything literally just fades out. Suggest changing some parts. If all else fails, just let him do it by himself on stage (I think that's called a capella or something like that). If the crowd doesn't like it, they'll let him know.
Reply:well first of all, your band has to agree with each other.

you might wanna right and new song and a new rhythm because in your description, it doesn't sound all that great.

maybe you can persuade your vocalist to right new song and a one maybe in a lower pitch because if you make a band, you want people to notice you and HEAR you. people can't really hear you when you're singing in a super high pitch voice...

as i said, convince the vocalist to write a new song but break it down to help slowly and nice and easy.

do the same with the guitarist.

if all goes well, the pieces of music should all blend in together nicely. (i hope)

hope this helps!
Reply:Dont kick him out if its only over one song and no other problems are occuring and if the other band members feel the same way as you then you should,as a band,talk to him and tell him the song isnt working,magority rules.The point of a band is working together to make something new that people enjoy listening to,your not the only one in the band and some times you have to make sacrafices for one another in order to work with each other.If he cares about being in the band then he should understand,if not then screw him and see how far he gets without a band at all,that should fix it.
Reply:That actually sounds like a good song, but I'm sure it's worse if you hear it. Anyway, I think you should tell him off that the song does not fit your bands image. Make him feel appreciated though, don't just say "Your song sucks" tell him that you and the rest of the band don't like the song and will not play it, or try to fix it up and make it suck less.
Reply:Write a better song than him, and win everyone's approval.
