basically there's no right or wrong way to organize your band. regardless of what method you choose to run it i still think it needs to be communicated clearly to the other members as soon as possible. that's really all i've been trying to get at. if you have a plan for your band, let the others know what it is and be totally honest with yourself and your friends as to what that plan truly entails.

if you want to keep it totally open with full equal collaborations from everyone... GREAT! just make sure everyone else is on the same page and pitching ideas.

same as if you want to be the leader and have the final word yourself, let everyone know from the get go that it's your band.

the last bit i mentioned yesterday revolved more around the 2nd situation, where there is a clear leader in the group. asking a instrumentalist to do something different might not be the nicest thing ever, but it's not asking them to run counter to their physiology.
