I wish I could answer that question, but I'm not able to find people who wants to play Glam/hardrock my self. Except for him PederMeyland ;D

well for me, i would firstly find that we all like same type of genre of rock, wif a little varying styles to add spontaentity(or whatever its called) to the band, you would all have to get along as friends not jus members for it to work smoothly, currently im in a band, although it aint off the ground yet but we're gettin there

If you where to join an already existing band then i would recommend that you like the music they play so you have fun playing it an also that you get along well with the people in the band.

I reccommend starting from scratch and setting up a new band

Good rhythm section that you relate well to is a key to success

Here is my modest point.

Faith. You must have faith in what you can achieve. Focus. Know your weaknesses (one of mine is spelling!) and strengths. Surround yourself with people that are as good or better than you, especially concerning your weaknesses. Create a team that is undeniable. Songs are all anybody cares about. The most important thing needed to make it is songs. If you are the only songwriter you will make and be in charge of all the money. Don't be greedy. The final product is better and easier when you write with other people who know what they're doing. I'm just making my point how important the songs are. More musicians *** than are good. Musicians that *** generally think they are good and vice versa. Search for people who seem to have a natural gift, rather than people with a degree in music. If a band has never made it out of your town then you need to go to for example( New York or LA.) Be prepared to starve for a couple months, then have money, starve for a couple of months again and use that money for what you are looking for , etc.

the key to having a good band is to meet good musicians in other bands that they are not happy with, and then backing yourself up with enough talent to get the job done. Having a great PA and sound re-inforcement helps as well.
