When you are on a worship team, your primary goal is not to worship God. Your primary goal is to "lead" worship. When you do things that distract and take peoples focus away from worship and towards you (be it through grandstanding or musical incompetence, or raising your hands while singing, pulling the microphone away from your mouth), you are hampering worship.
Bad playing is not a good thing, be it in secular music or worship services. But in each case, it is bad for a different reason. And everything is about "why".
Where is it in Scripture that anyone needed a worship leader in order to Worship God?

The primary goal of ALL CHRISTIANS is to worship God and give Him glory - regardless of "occupation".
I can't help but wonder how many praise and worship rock bands are just comprised of people who always dreamed of being a rock star, and not people who are interested in giving God all the glory He is due.
It's been my experience that the more elaborate a production is, the more ego is involved.
I've often wondered why contemporary Christian musicians receive any personal money from their album sales and concerts. They're just as expensive as secular music. Seems to me they'd be interested in just covering expenses.
I can't believe you just said that.
