Why did you select the particular song choice?
The band said they chose the song band of venus because it was seen as a song they could be most creative with and and this choice of song allowed the band to brainstorm some interesting ways of playing differently to fit the particular band members needs.
Who took the initiative in arranging the chord sequence, rhythmical pattern, riffs, top line melody, temp and tone/texture of the arrangement?
Jayden and Malachy took the initiative in figuring out what type of vibe the song would be and how we should approach it, taking into consideration all the band members jayden took initiative and helped work out how exactly all the band members would work together while maintaining a specific vibe.
Was there a conscious decision on what type of genre to frame the song in?
The band thoght of going xxx tentacion vibe due to studying the lyrics and thinking of ways to bend the song in our own meld and this allowed us to think of ways to use the acoustic guitar and add rap to the song.

From studying this song and listening to other stemming way before this work I have been trying to become a better drummer and via studying these songs.
