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.

I know what you mean, there is no right or wrong way.
I don't know, I guess I have my own rules and conditions that I need.
I don't like drama in my band, so I'm really sexist in that aspect and don't want other girls in my band.
I don't want someone who's not open to all kinds of music.
I want someone who's willing to experiment.
When it's someone else's band, I like consulting with them for everything on my own, do you know what I mean? I don't like for them to tell me what I can and cannot do all of the time.
I quit my old band when they were telling me I could only be in one band at a time incase we got famous.
I didn't want to get famous just yet, I just wanted to sing.
