thunderbird13 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1329894214' post='1549116'] The bassist, in one song, got lost so stopped playing. he then remembered where he should be. but instead of just playing from there, he played all the notes he`d missed to that point, very quickly, to catchup.

thunderbird13 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 My first gig was with a glam metal band in Camden ( Jet Black Club in Dingwalls ) only 3 things stand out I had to carry a Hartke 15 '' amp up the metal fire escape to get into the club and in the process cut my fingers The club was absolutley heaving - it probably was only 100 people but it looked like 500 We supported a gay metal band from Brighton spend the best part of an hour soundchecking and only left us 5 mins with to do the same then they blamed us for taking one of their leads and refused to let us go onstage until it was found. The actually playing and music bit was no problem although I cant remember a thing about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt on your Bass? Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 My first gig was the Hope & Anchor, London. We arrived about 2 hours before sound check (mistake cause we started drinking), then whilst sitting around nervous, decided we'd heach hum through our parts of the songs together as of playing - well that was a mistake trying to rememer how everything went!! Got ourselves in a right panic, but it was all good. Lots of support and a busy night, and we took a whopping £6 off the promoter for door money which didnt quite cover a round between the three of us. I loved every minute of it. We managed to record it luckily enough, and its pretty good looking back on it. Enjoy it, cause you only get one first gig, and relax. Put any nervous energy into the performance and playing. As long as you're prepped, you'll tear it up! Best of luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
