Yeah, it was a party for all the drama people at our school...
Anyway we were really good...except when our bassist started going nuts and started playing badly intentionally, which for me to unplug him and reomove him from the stage.
Despite the fact I told the singer "we've only had one full band practice, we will DIE up there"
but we didn't, not really, the drummering and guitar strumming kept the room err....humming.
Before the show the other band's guitarist promsied me I could play his marshall stack...even if it was the worst solid state mosfet "marshall" I figured it was better than my 20w cacadian made bass amp no matter what
So yeah, it was a LLINE 6 f(ucked)lextone SITTING on a 1960--whatnot. HE LIED
Anyway, I just used that brit blues setting with the gain about 3 o'clock, for all the "clean" stuff --you know, clear lead tone, but still with a bite (we were doing "little lover" so its that kind of ACDC thing...and for the chunky-er things I used my rat at half gain etc.
and, just my luck some really nice guy lent me a les paul custom...two pcikup black beauty
with gold harware all around...one of those "get layed just by having it" guitars. Action was a bit stiff, but wonder tone!
...anyhow, my high points were my solo on the immigrant song and this little jam thing in B we did, which was pretty much "midnight rambler" shifting into this kind of "red house" kind of thing.mixed with an approximate richie balcmoore blues wail with full whammy action. (and kung fu grip!)
ah,the low point..what's a gig without some ****blockage
since It was using the floor board thingy for the line 6 I had the option of using a wah.it wasn't quite "fiesl crybaby good", but it was very decent for what it is...I had the amp on "manual" (for all those that donn't know, that means what the knobs on the amp say is what the sound is ACTUALLY is, there's no pre-sets in place...So anyway I go to stomp on the wah, and I hit the patch changer...and I got this huge, scooped-to-shite metal tone near the end of my "night train" solo. Luckily, my black beauty had a volume control (I hear most dont!), so I was able to get the gain back to nominal levels..
and... my strat was out of tune for paranoid but I corrcted in the middle of the chours.the solo was fucking rawk...but it sounded sort of the same as my immmigrant song break, but in the key of E
:O
people said I was really good.but no mention of the band really...and you know what that means.
the band sort of sucks besdies the dummer an I...
So I learned a lesson, always tune every single guitar before you go up, and the singer should learn DON'T DO A SHOW WITH A PERMANTLY FRIED DRUNKEN FUCKASS IDOIT AND STOP PUTTING OFF REHERSAL!
