Si600 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) As an antidote to the "Quit my band threads" There's been three of us for a while now, my school mate on the six string thing, my college mate on the singing and last night we had our first go with a real drummer, a bloke I work with. It was a bit cramped in the guitarists kitchen and he couldn't get far enough away from his amp to stop the feedback at times but it was a fun evening and only my third time with real drums. Happy Days For your eye-rolling and sighing here is our current list of work in progress Stuff we can get by in but need polishing: Pretty Vacant American Idiot Whole Lotta Rosie Upstarts and Broken Hearts Doubleback Screamager Loose Los Angeles is Burning Pretend that we're Dead Whisky in the Jar (Metallica version) And the ones that we don't know but are next up: Kids in America All right Now Touch too Much One Vision Tie your Mother Down (blame the drummer, he's a Queen fanatic and owns a Red Special and a Roger Taylor inlaid snare drum) Sorry for forum cluttering with spam posts.

xgsjx Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Excellent stuff! It's good to get out of the kitchen & into a room with some space. I started one of the "quit my band" threads, but it's all positive & although I've quit, I've joined another 2! lol The important part of a band is to have fun. So may you be blessed with loads of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Your guitarist can fit a drum kit in his kitchen? ! :-0 Sounds great, I bet you'll have a lot of fun doing stuff like that :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si600 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Just! It's more of a kitchen diner so we put the drums into half of the dining room, the amps on the dining room chairs. I stood by the kitchen door and the guitarist had to go into the kitchen because of feedback problems. The poor singer who has been coping without PA support up to now as it was just us and the ipod for reference had to stand by the drummer and shout himself hoarse. We're looking for a rehearsal space now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Good luck and have fun. Nothing wrong with Tie Your Mother Down. One our best songs. Edit. I hope you know how to pull off as you will be doing it a lot! Edited April 26, 2014 by mep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Your domestic location rather demands a cover of this I think... http://youtu.be/f4Mc-NYPHaQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si600 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 It was suggested, but our singer wasn't keen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
