This has been my experience trying to start bands. I finally tapped out, started writing and learned to record at home. I haven’t looked back since.

The problem is most people are inexperienced and assume you just put the band in the same room, and then you "jam", and then songs magically happen.
That's not what happens when you form a band.
Someone writes songs, and everyone learns the songs before you all get in the same room and jam. Then you make tweaks, changes, additions and subtractions to the songs while everyone is in the same room.
Only people without jobs have the time to just "jam" for days on end and magically come up with songs.

It's disrespectful if a band gets held up because some member doesn't have the professionalism to learn what was agreed upon before a rehearsal.
It may not even be their fault, if there's a skill mismatch. I never was able to find a drummer to play with me for the long term. You really need someone with drive and skills in a band, not someone who's just there to be fashionable and have a good time.
That said, no point burning bridges. This is especially true if the guys are decent musicians and you gel. Go meet up, have fun and then have an earnest discussion about what went wrong. Who knows, perhaps one or two members will jam again in future in some other project.

Can we be clear?
Nobody is ‘jamming’ anything up anyone.
No-one is making preserves.
The roads were clear.
No-one is experiencing insurmountables in their lives.
This wasn’t a ‘Jam’ tribute act.
No-one lost their cock.
They were just jamming alright?
Fucking waste of time, money, and good equipment these days. Even more so if it’s Dad stuff. Rocky Mountain Way for 2 hours! Followed by Sweet Home Alabama. Oh, is that the time? Ok guys, see you next month.
Still, nothing is as bad as being the guitar player for Nina Hagen Band on a full tour, and finding out that tonight’s Bass Player is a kid she met working in a gas station that morning, and she liked his vibe man. Can you imagine that shit?
