Gibby4life Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 So for those who read my last thread, you might want to read this.. So for those who wanted to know how my first gig went... Just to let you know, were in the waiting room at the hospital right now (yeah thats how bad it was) Things that went wrong: 1: The van we were using to transport our gear wouldnt start, arrived a half hour late. 2. We forgot my Amp, had to go back and get it 3. We had to do sound check in front of the audience who kept shouting at us to go on and play 4. Started gig at 9.45pm (supposed to start at 8pm) 5. We were booed by the audience on our first song/solo (the godfather solo) 6. I messed up the Welcome to the jungle intro and our vocalist couldnt sing for 15 mins because his throat hurt after singing "YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?!?, YOUR IN THE JUNGLE BABY, YOU GONNA DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!! 7. Cracked my backup guitars headstock by doin a stage dive at the end of Paradise City... (Our vocalist asked the audience before the song "who wants to see Chris *Me* do a stage dive" and everyone went "YEEESSS"!) 8. Party host refused to pay us our £80 which leaded to a riot in which the police were called and me and our drummer were hurt from being beaten by the audience... 9. Police blamed our vocalist for starting the riot (him having punched the party host) and he is now at the police station... 10. Its 4am and our xrays are about to come. Its suspected that ive got a fracture in my leg and our drummer hit his head pretty hard somehow so maybe a concussion? So my dad and our vocalists dad are at the police station sorting things out right now and were at the hospital, in a lot of pain... What a night. Think thats enought gigging for some time :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibby4life Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 I really hope your joking, but if you are not, I told you not to do a stage dive. Yeah i know but it was something like a "you only live once" moment. Any idea how much it costs to fix the neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beterpan Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (If that's all true...) I laughed a lot. Hope you're all well. Long live rock'n roll!..:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby4life Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yeah i know this sounds absolutly unbelievable and you can believe it or not but its all true. Our vocalist is still in custody, hopefully getting released today but appart from that were all fine. Going back to my last question. Does a cracked headstock need to be repaired? Its a tiny crack just at the edge of where the headstock meets the neck. I played it today and it doesnt seem to affect it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You´r story is unbelievable and lot of fun although you got heart, i can identify with it since i have some similar story's from my youth that no one believe About you´r cracked headstock, you sure should stabilize the damage since it is located at the junction of neck/headstock, if you continue to play without stabilize it, it´ll PROBABLY grow and in the end snapp!

RobertAndersson Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Wow, what a story, sorry but over here we laughed a lot, no offence but it is like a script for a best selling movie! If not true, you should actually make a movie! If true, I can tell you that all of the issues (except the riot and police part) has happened to me during twenty years as rock musician, but one piece at a time. Let's hope that you in this odd way have given your career a head start! My best advice for next time is simply: PRACTICE, PRACTICE AND PRACTICE! Take a rehearsal now and then to pretend you have a real audience and try to play like a real gig. I wish you the best of luck! //Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dg77 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Could be worse. You cold be the guy who bought a Chinese LP knockoff of eBay for $1000 too much because it was a limited "relic" edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
