Correspondingly, is it hard to start a band?
Anyone can start a band. It's not hard at all. But finding the right group of musicians, managing multiple artistic personalities, working around multiple schedules and multiple sets of commitments, keeping everyone happy, focused, and motivated — that's the hard part.
Furthermore, what makes a band good? Every band needs a unique identity. It is difficult to stand out against others without having something, a sound, a name, a way of performing, that makes you stand out. In the great band, the band itself is greater than the sum of all parts. When the members feed off of one another, something magical happens.
Beside above, is starting a band worth it?
Starting a band is born from the sheer love of music (or it should be), as long as this exists and the players are not naive enough to think that a successful is an easily achieved option, then absolutely 200%, starting a band is always going to be worth it. Unless you're band sucks, then don't.
