What was your first show like?

Asthenia6 · Post by **Asthenia6** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 4:12 am

not very good at all.
our drummer got off time so much.
he was going 10 times faster than what he was supposed and we couldnt keep up. and he just kept chaning times.
our guitarist's guitar kept coming untuned because it was so hot.
my wireless system stopped working halfway through our set.
our singer forgot alot of the words.
but the crowd loved us because our singer goes crazy on stage.
he has the equivilant of a seizure while singing.
its what kept the crowd entertained.

my first show. ah almost everything went wrong. it was the talent show at our school and everyone we knew was watching and shit. we were so nervous., but it was great to be on stage. we came in like 4th, losing to 2 senior bands, and one senior dancing act. not too bad considering the show was february 2007 and we started up like 5 months before it and we were freshman. anyway, almost everything that could've gone wrong did.

my friend lost my distortion pedal before the show, so i had to play a rock song acoustically. my friend turned my amp up too loud so you couldnt hear his lead part.
the drums kept moving so someone had to sit in front of them
when they pulled the curtain shut, the piano players keyboard got crushed and fell over and made a huge loud boom sound.
then we were loading up the car and my friend that lost my distortion pedal broke the bassists bass.

so yeah it was pretty fucked up. but when we played at clubs/lounges/fairs the feeling is amazing. you get so much energy from the crowd.

I've never played a show. I've sang Still Waiting on stage with the music while my friend went wild. I also played in a guitar recital where we play to our parents and relatives.

my first show was good! i dropped a drum stick in dont cry but caught it in mid air. out guitarist/singer played shirtless and wrote funk across his chest although it smudged and no one liked it. we played 6 or 7 songs. we were co-headliners too!! it was brilliant!! sound wasnt great cos it was a crappy hall. but we played well. also, some girls i know brought t-shirts and wrote on them. like 'bang me like your drums' and one girl made one but didnt wear it for obvious reasons. i think it said 'finger me like your guitar' or something

Meh not so bad, I was just the looney that was jumping about

I've never played an actual show but I've performed in front of others before and when you're doing something that you actually enjoy (instead of having to sing the soft song that your parents picked for you) it's so much fun that the best way to describe it is like a natural high. It's great.

In school with friends we formed a band in 10 minutes and we have to perform something lol

I was bass using a accoustic!
the drummer was doing all too slow
the guitar was the only one who play ok
cuz i play to fast
but all sing in a good!

never try to play always with a band of 15 minutes and don't rehearse

My first show was at a talent show at school. We played Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, and it was so loud 8) We rocked the whole thing. Nothing went wrong, but I was nervous like shit

mm, i was so god damn nervous. we played boulevard of broken dreams, at the beginning my friend lost his pedal so the intro was just acoustic. But that time we were the best.
At the beginning u feel really nervous, u think that u are gonna make several mistakes but then u get used to and even u play the guitar really good

I learned the songs an hour before we went on-stage and I was the only one not to make a mistake.The gig went fine but the music we were playing was just crap.

The first show I ever played was freakin' awesome. We played alright, we've done better, but the best part was during the last song, our lead guitarist broke his toes from jumping and landing on them weird. He faked it and played the rest of the show on his knees, I had no idea he was hurt. :P

Great fun.
