Hold on - just to clarify - the rhythm section should be providing consistent time underneath the singer
no matter what the singer is doing (or not doing). That's the rhythm section's job, and if they're not doing that, it's
their fault, not the singer's. If they have trouble staying in time, ask them to practice with a metronome. Lots and lots.
I do agree that the band wasn't really what you'd call "tight"
But since the OP wasn't functioning as part of the rhythm section here, we can't really hold any of their problems against him

I try to always play around the singer. Never on top of them. Unless its a big buildup at the end.

Yeah - on another listen, I think this is right on. Stay out of her way unless there's a good reason. What you
don't play is just as important as what you
do play, and this is one of those times.
