Well its halloween here

[Enmitygauged]

Had our first gig as a band oh the friggen horror of it.

 

In fairness it has been over a month since we had rehearsed the full set list. But man did we make a shamozle of it.

First we had not rehearsed before hand for fear of noise complaints. So we kept it to a sound check. then there was a huge Bonfire which apparently made the singers voice turn to dust.

2 the drummer lost sync on 3 out of 10 songs. suddenly playing double time.

 

3 the band had chosen not to tell me that they had changed the chords of one of the songs (that I dont play in) but then asked me to play along a solo. yeah that was fun.

 

4. the opening song some one had stood on the singers volume pedal so when he started playing 2 bars in he made a cluster F of it. and then panicked resetting the volume.

 

Oh amateur hour it was fun. I am glad it was just a practice gig for friends and family. but still just a little bit embarrassing. and huge dose of humble pie

dude please do, oh the humanity. it was like watching a train wreck plus the heat from a 40 ft bon fire kind of played havoc with the tuning of my guitars. mid way through a song my G was an A string -_-

First gig with a band....Hmmm..........I'm sure there's lots of gig horror stories here......I've got some....

I nearly called quits. what drummer starts with the right drum beat in sync with the band and then speeds up to double time. not happy but we will practice more until we get everything right myself included.
