Personally, I wouldn't. But I've seen it happen before. The weird thing was, it was like a tuba player or something wanting to audition for a rock band.

Similar to the reason I made this poll.

If I felt that I could add to areas that they lacked, I would suggest that I could help out.

I would never straight up ask. I may say, however, "If you ever need a (insert instrument here) player, just let me know," or something like that.
It's situational really.

If they had not yet received a measure of success or popularity, yes.

I've basically been in this band for a few months, we've written songs, figured out covers, learned jazz charts and played gigs. And we have a gig on Friday, so I told my clarinet playing friend he should come and bring friends, since it's at an ice skate arena.

And he proceeded to say things like, "I want to jam!" (we don't just jam, byw) and "I wish I could play!" and "I want to be in a band... but you probably don't want a clarinet..."

So I said, "Well, clarinet would be hard to add" and he said, get this... "Not really"

WAY to make it awkward.

harsh.


Just take it as a compliment of the good music your band makes.

I wouldn't know what to say to that bloke. Take the nearest drumstick and shuv it where the sun don't shine?

Thing is he doesn't KNOW what kind of music we play, he thinks all we do is jam.

See, in my example the request for audition took place shortly after the band got off the stage.

True, but still awkward. Especially for my friends in the band who had to tell him no and avoid sounding rude and stuff.
