"When the Music being played no longer makes you happy...that's a crunch point."

Alba's statement above just about sums it up. The usual clash of egos's which is a trait in a lot of musicians/artists is one impact of the 'happy' aspect.

The direction of one's artistic evolvment also is an indicator of when to leave the band. Be honest with yourself. When you know your aren't 'clicking' with the band due to what you want to do artistically due to changes in your own vision ... leave.
