You know nothing, TOOLmac.
Yes, i know drummer is important, but i said he is least credible. Try widening your vocabulary.
This "leader" you speak of doesn't form the band, know why? Because there is no leader. Forming a band doesn't happen by one person thinking "You know what, i'm going to form a band!" It's a group of people who decide they should play together and form a band. There is no leader in this action.
The leader is responsible for talking to the media and making the schedule? No, he's not. You know why? Because there is no leader of a band. The person who plans schedules is called a manager... And last time i looked, bands don't have to talk at press confrences and delegate a "leader" to do all the talking. Deciding the gimmick is not up to any sort of leader either.
A band is a formation of people's personality and music style all mixed together into a bunch of music. (Sometimes some poeople in the band have more of an influence in the band's style than others, but the point still remains)
There IS such thing as a frontman though, he is normally the singer, and the camera normally focuses on him most because he's the one singing/talking/interacting with the crowd. And because of this, people automatically think singer's are the "leaders" of bands. Toolmac, this leader bullshit is all in your head, and isn't true.
