What kind of questions should I ask potential bandmates?

Question

I am going to hold auditions so I can have a band to jam with, but I always forget to ask important questions. What questions should I definately remember to ask? Are there any I should definately not ask?

Answer 1

Ask about other commitments they have (work, school, family, etc.) that may hinder them from coming to practices regularly. Also find out what sort of experience they have with the instrument they are playing and if they have ever played in a band before.

Answer 2

Favourite bands? Favourite genres? Favourite eras? Favourite specific artists?

Least favouritest should also be looked into.
