What makes a band?

If i've learnt something after the first 3 auditions... its this

A band is a band because of every member of the band.

Straightforward yup, but some people just don't realise it. The vocalist is not the most important person in the band, but just a part of the band (just as Ashin is not equal to Mayday).

This is how I've deciphered the 'band'... in the analogy of a human body..

The drummer acts as the anchor like the skeleton of a body
The guitarists add soul to this body
The bassist is like the rhythm of the blood running through this body
The vocalist then completes the picture like clothes on a person

Just as the clothes we wear, they act as the first impression to the people we meet. And just perhaps, thats the reason why vocalists receive the most limelight.

You may disagree with my interpretation, but its how I see things now.
Everyone is just as important and what makes a true band, is how well they work together as a band, and not as individuals of a band.

I do agree with that, and yes, Ashin was the one who attracted me initially(well now still,ha), but I realised without any of the others it just wouldn't be the same.Cause they have expertise in their respective fields, and some are better at certain things than others.I just love and respect that they are so good at what they do.
