It is the first headline
I really think I am going to give it a go. I don't care if I don't make it... as long as I know that I gave it all I got!
Some of the galloping is insanely fast... listen to Pure Evil.
So... who else wants to do it haha?

I'd love to be their bassist.
But I suck.

Plus there is probably no chance of me managing to gallop at high tempos.

| | | | What's the chances they run the auditions, get as much press coverage as possible about how they're giving their fans a chance to be part of the music, then announce that the new bass player is some guy they've know for years who was at the auditions hanging out with the band, but probably didn't play a note, cause he already knew he had the gig...
call me cynical!
On the other hand if it was a band I was into, I'd go for it, just for the fun of having gone and tried out.

How funny would it be if I just rolled in an ampeg stack and just started rocking in the middle of his store. He usually picks up Indianapolis musicians when he needs new band members. I know his new guitarist was a guy I know of around the scene. I know a couple guys in town who might be gunning for that spot. |

But now she's just really annoying, so I think I'll pass.
