The types/dynamics within a band...
I've been in a few, and hung out with one or two. Here's what the members of a band are like, in my small experience
Singer - usually laid back, a little lazy, tends to be pushed around by the guitar/bass guys Guitarist - Thinks he's pretty much in charge, usually an okay guy, can have a little ego. Wants to be the singer, often, but can't sing. Bass - EITHER a zombed-out nodder who does what he's told OR thinks/is the driving force/ideas man who drives the band (and conflicts with the guitarist on this matter). Usually happy where he is, but sometimes wants to be the lead guitarist or even singer. Drummer - Plain nuts if they're any good. Often fights (and I mean fists) with the bass player (as the bass player is usually the quickest one to criticise inconsistent rhythm, poor drumming + stuff). Usually the real fun guy when not playing. This is my very limited personal experience, of course. Any of you guys in/been in bands? If so, what's your experience of how bands are?

Re: The types/dynamics within a band...
From my experience, the guitarist and drummer are usually the founding members, and the best talentwise.

I would add that the Bass player is usually the least social and most likely to become a serial killer and agree that the drummer is likely nuts, the degree to which is proportional to his skill level.

I play guitar too, but much preferred the bass in a band. Less pressure, more time to pose and show ya biceps, have fun with the drummer onstage with syncopation (sp?) and stuff, check the audience etc etc Also, I might add, I never, ever met a drummer I didn't like pretty much immediately. Oh, and drummers are psycho fighters.

But even if there wasn't I'd see it more as an observation than a rule.
