The thing is, Lindsey wasn't recruiting
musicians for the OOTC tour. A musician is someone who strives for individuality, who brings their own stamp and flavor to the table. Lindsey didn't really want a band, he was in fact escaping just that. Lindsey recruited a guitar
army for OOTC. He wanted nothing to do with individuality or unpredictability. He wanted strength, dependability, and a unified front. Essentially multiple carbon copies of himself whom he was the commander of. I'm sure he made all of that quite clear, and anyone who was dissuaded by that wouldn't have made it beyond the initial auditions. I imagine it took a very disciplined, egoless person to agree to such terms.
