Funny how much like a marriage a band is, except its 4-5+ people instead of just two. Divorce rate 50% between two people. Based on my highly evolved napkin math skilz, that means most band line ups are screwed.
My band is breaking in a drummer, so I'm no longer our new guy. Was funny watching them dance around interacting with me when I joined. Now it's just as funny trying to figure out the new guy. He passed the skill check to get the position, but.... Does he serve song or self? Can he take advice, or will ego be an issue? What are those personality quirks outside of music that may be an issue?
Getting someone on the team you can work with easily is pretty dang important. Good riddance, aint nobody got time for drama once you have identified a rogue element in your mix. Rip the band aid off. Move on.
