Not a question of the lyric/music split, I know, but it can cost different types of musicians rather different amounts of money to be in the same band.

I'll bet that a few people here have experience of dealing with singers in bands who don't consider buying the gear needed to amplify or record their voice (microphones, cabling, etc) to be something they ought to contribute towards. As if these are facilities that simply have to provided for them by others.

And often they'll excuse themselves from helping to shift equipment to and from a gig too.
