Paul's Band mates forming their own bands-WHY?
-
egos perhaps well they have been playing for him for like over 10 years now maybe they want to move on and or maybe theyre have a fan base since they did play with sir paul people would go to see them at THEYRE own shows

yeah, kinda like I asked in the initial post~
true they grabbed Paul's fans

I don't think they will ever leave Paul, and I don't think they have a problem with anything that goes on. They are working musicians. For the most part repitition plays a role in all music. I think all they want to do is play. Being bored is not a factor. That is why they have outlets for other projects. Even Paul does. It is part of the job. And they now have exposure that they never would have had. I'm pretty sure that Brian at 57 doesn't really think the Bayonets are going to be taking over the world, but I'm sure he appreciates the exposure and interest he gets in part by being in Paul's band. Same with the other guys. Wix doesn't really do side projects with bands though. He's been musical director on several occasions for large scale events and he works as a producer, a lot of the time in Paul's studio.
-
for Some reason I believe the Bayonets would have a huge following in SA too musical standards Brian is still fairly young.. than again, I don't think Paul is old by any means only chronologically
-
I don't mean they are too old to be out there playing quality music, nor should they be. But I don't think they will have a huge impact on the musical world either. They'll hopefully have a nice following and will make some fans.

I always thought Rusty was the one most excited about playing with Paul. (in the beginning I mean)

Since the guys are hired hands and don't write music with Paul, get any recognition these days onstage besides thanking "this band of mine", and don't work most of the year with Paul except for the tours and if Paul happens to be doing an album and wants them to play on a track or two, it makes sense for them to keep making their own music. Paul even lets Brian sell his CD's at the concerts, and I recall him having a link to Rusty's webpage years ago when Rusty had a new CD out. Paul encourages it, and knows the deal. If they were a real band and wrote together, it'd be absolutely different, but the band are Paul's back-up group at live events, that's it. ETA: PLUS, Paul has played on their albums, so he obviously approves of them doing this work.

What they are doing is just what all the musicians usually do! They are talented and creative musicians with decades of carreer and they always had their side projects. There's nothing wrong and I think there's no need to worry or to ask about it!
