I had problems with fellow band members as a kid, so I get it. In one band I was the second lead guitarist in a 9 piece group. The leader stole some of my gear from me and when I went to the authorities, I couldn't prove this stuff was mine.

I wish I could start or get in a band again though. But I'd have to do original stuff, the idea of doing covers is offensive to me.
