There’s no leader of this band, and there never will be. That’s the key. You can’t control how the public perceives you-people see rock’n’roll bands as the guitar player and the singer.
Meaning of the quote
This quote is saying that in a rock band, there is no single leader. The band members work together as a team, and no one person is in charge. You can't control how people view your band - they will often focus on the guitar player and the singer, even though the whole band is important. The key is that the band members work together equally, and there is no one person who is the boss.
