2 i can think of: Sacrafice Theory - AFI Schism - Tool

the other stand out one for me (which i was reminded of when someone mentioned legging it in embarassment) was at a club in dundee. our guitarist was a total metalhead, and we were a light/alt rock band. he books us in for a gig at a metal club so though "they must be having a lighter night tonight"...no! we're on the bill with 3 death metal bands, so all through our set, the audience looked thoroughly unimpressed i was wanting to stay but i simply couldn't face being there after that, especially after finishing with the cringeworthy guitarist - "so, do you want one more song?!" most of audience - "not really" *awkward pause* guitarist - "wel'll we're doing it anyway!"

played a gig here in dundee, sunday night at it's finest! we were playing last (about 11) so most people had already gone home, the other guys in the band were horrendously hungover so it generally lacked any energy. 2 songs in and the last people left, leaving only my girlfriend and the girl behind the bar...who closed the bar during the third song! could have been worse, but certainly something i could have done without seeing as i was working at 7 the next day

about 2 years ago

the first one i learned was a song by my mate's band in high school the first well known song was van morrison - brown eyed girl (simplified a wee bit of course )

i now have to check the colour scheme with the missus, she heckled me into getting rid of my natural finish $$, i now have a black & red fender jazz <<<< this is why the ATK had to go as well (the cat stayed)

couldn't find a thread for feedback (apologies if there's already one) Ben is a class guy though, came all the way from lincoln to carlisle for a bass trade great communication throughout, takes good care of his gear as well from what i can see! deal with confidence folks
