Hrm. Sorray.

Strangely enough, that's what I thought this thread was going to be about.

Anyway, in a situation like that, you have to confront him. If something he is doing is a problem to your band, then that problem has to be remedied. I play in a band myself (Which has 40 people, so it's even worse), and one squeeky wheel/clarinet (It's always clarinets ) can ruin everything, so it's essential that you must fix it.

Talk to your bandmates first, and get their opinions on it. Then, arrange a band meeting and get everyone to sit in a circle, so this guy can't escape. Talk about why you feel what he is doing is a problem, and get other members of the band to pitch in for backup. Try and offer a compromise by working on a song which is acoustic-heavy (If that were possible), whilst he gets arrangements sorted out. Perhaps you could offer to split the cost of the amp between the four of you.

If he isn't willing to accept that there is a problem, he is not a good musician.
