so my friends want to start a band with me. thing is, they are mainly into hardcore death metal. they're not crazy goths or anything, if you saw them you'd never think they listen to that, but unfortunatley they do. and that's what they play. i am the total opposite. pj is my favorite band for miles and miles, but i love soundgarden, alice in chains, stp, screaming trees, rage and all that. so my style is much more along the lines of pj and that kind of music. and when i see myself playing in a band that i am dedicated and serious to, i want it to be that style. so i told em i'd join .. i branched out a little and made up with a metal riff...sent it to them .. they loved it. it's somewhere in between ..not death metal, but not pearl jam. think along the lines of like a heavier alice in chains. it's going to be totally instramental by the way, for now. thing is, they are going to want to be much more comittied to this then i am. they loved this heavy stuff and want to really pursue this band, whereas i want to do it for fun and for a branching out learning experience. so when the times comes that they wanna do a recording or grab a singer n move on and stuff, i don't know how to leave it without seeming like a selfish dick. anyone go through this? any advice?

Ditch the band, keep the friends
