So the guitarist comes to me and says.....

Play these four notes and rock it out. This was onstage, at one of our last shows. Apparently he had this whole other song planned that me and our drummer had no idea about. He brought one of his friends up to play guitar and his sister came up to sing as well. It ended up being an eminem and rihanna song. I don't listen to much rap but for 12 seconds before we launched into it i'd say that we managed to pull it off! and the crowd dug it!

Heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY_9qfIb8Lc

That's pretty cool Eminem's lyrics have been pretty wack lately but that's a cool cover. I like that you guys just pulled it off without a rehearsal! Good job!

Don't care about the recording, it catches the vibe! Though I don't like rap music I can only respect the fact you did great and I probably would have enjoyed myself if I were in the crowd!

I didn't post it saying that it was phenomenal, I just thought it was cool that we were able to pull off a song without working on it and make it work. It just so happend that someone got a vid of it so I posted that to. There's no reason to get all worked up about it. I already know the video quality isnt great but I still feel it captures the moment well enough.

This is probably the first time those words are written outside the context of a rant against guitarists.

Awesome job on playing live and totally cold, but I am pretty sure I counted 5 notes. I do hope you were reprimanded.

Cool man. I bet it was a good time.

Wait, the video wasn't 110% perfect?!?! How dare you post such a thing.

Dude, no offense but you are being kinda rude! He just posted about pulling off a song that the band had never played and the crowd dug it. He is not claiming its the best thing to ever happen to music. Relax.

The audio on the video isn't good. So, you should stop being happy about your band doing a really good "improv" performance. Don't be happy.

Thumbs up. A lot to be said for living in the moment.
