We played our second gig at a bar and they had a soundman. (im singer -far left) That guy made us sound amazing! We never sounded that good in any bar ever again. We also had a lot of energy. The next one was ST pat's day. I always do a pub crawl every St pat's so i got us booked through a...

@BCRich100 excellent pics -looks like your band is really kickin ass on the gigs. Funny how you can tell the metal audience is happy by how angry they look LOL. i will have to check out some SlipKnot stuff -i was more old school metal.

I think i could take that for 35 minutes -36 Im right out. This band is looking for a pack leader to pull them out of the chaos. perhaps you or the lead singer. Organized, volume approximated mix is what the goal should be. Anyway herding the cats is one of the reasons i wanted out of the...

@ezra1 you got a recording we could hear?! I tend to lean towards hearing loss and also agree with @Bunk McNulty dancers want to dance -they dont want to hear the imperceptible perceptions of tone chasers. IMO a good mix is a good mix. That being said every guitarist i have played with...

Get a good hat. Have fun.

Ive had this happen -bar managers are something else sometimes! Hypothetically i would call goat

I think a good creative silent protest that would be fun is play the bass line for Rick James "Give it to me baby". for every song.

There was a time I was going to gear a band just towards SPD gigs. I had a weird settlist planned out. Really if you throw in a few Irish sounding songs and the usual fan favorite covers you will be a hot in America. Drunken Lullabyes -Floggin Molly Whiskey in a Jar -Metallica Galway Girl...

Guitarist wheels in a marshal stack for a small rehearsal space. Will not turn down stack when repeatedly asked by everyone in band. In another audition -bad drummer. (no respect for BPS or tempo) Another -i just didnt fit the band dynamic. It was a married couple where the lady played keys...

@Bunk McNulty Im oddly a ABBA fan myself. The touring tribute band "Arrival" Did an amazing job on all their songs. The girls were actually originally from Sweden so they sounded authentic. I hope to check that link later -i have no speakers at work :(

No word from these dudes so i texted the contact guy. -No reply -first time ever i got ghosted *shrugs*. At least they could have replied "we hate you and your monkey face" or "we quit to become missionaries" or something.

Cheers @Bunk McNulty

Oh heres another -just cuz i like this old song. Remember im the singer.

Well nice guys. level is in the garage band -Dad band range. They actually had a drummer that was auditioning before me that stayed for my stuff. He was pretty good -didnt rehearse any of my songs but winged it for most part. I did pretty good and it was all alright. They recorded this...
