I didn’t say that ? I said the miscellaneous could be anything . Everyone needs a ‘lead singer” though

You said the lead singer ability on other instruments would not be counted. 

 

Doesn't read like multiple options at all

 

Lead Singer (If your lead singer is also a guitarist/drummer you only get the singing part, if you want them for their instrumental prowess then you need a different frontman/woman) 

 

Miscellaneous (This can be a piano, keyboard, backing vocalist, Triangle player - whatever you like but you must pick one) 

 

Backing vocalist, piano, triangle nowhere did you mention multiple options

3: Adam Jones (Tool / rhythm guitar)

Don’t cry mate. 
 

But yeah the lead singer will be just a singer. How you have interpreted the miscellaneous option isn’t my fault.

You need to decide who is your lead singer mate and not have them playing piano as well

Mr & Mrs Trouble

Rock/Funk/Soul

Prince - Lead guitar

Flea - Bass guitar

Nina Simone - Piano/vocal

Thom Yorke - Vocal

Questlove - Drums

John Frusciante - Rhythm guitar

 

John Frusciante was in a band with Flea (RHCP), who in turn was in a band with Thom Yorke (Atoms for Peace). One of Thom Yorke’s desert island discs is Nina Simone’s “Wild is The Wind”. Nina Simone recored a cover of Prince’s track “Sign ‘O’ The Times”. Questlove was a huge fan of Prince growing up, became friends later in life and they used to jam at Paisley Park, and he’s also buddies with Flea. Prince did an awesome cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” when he played live in the 00s. John Frusciante had played Radiohead’s “Lucky” and “You and Whose Army?” live too. Thom Yorke admitted that guitar riff in Radiohead’s song “Reckoner” was an homage to John Frusciante.

He is wrong, one of them needs to be the lead.

Isn’t the issue that some people had their lead playing an instrument which isn’t allowed?

 

If Tony wants to have a lead (no instrument) and use his Misc as another lead singer then that appears to be within the rules?

Can the Misc double on an instrument and still be labelled a "lead vocalist?"

[Bjornebye]

One has to be the lead the other will be backing singer but him selecting them is fine
