Playing live again..

[Uladyne]

I might have an opportunity to fill in on bass for my friend's band when they come to town. Haven't held a stringed instrument on stage for almost three years. I'm kinda nervous. Plus I'm trying to learn their set in basically 2 days from a CD, and I won't be able to jam with them beforehand. I couldn't refuse an offer to rock a stage with my old bandmate, though..

I think what I'm really nervous about is getting bitten by the bug again after getting small taste of live though... Then I'd really be fucked.

congrats dude, playing live is what makes it all worth it!

 

[Damian B]

Yeah man, as much as I love recording, nothing beats getting up on stage and jamming out for tons of people. It really is the best feeling in the world!

Do what I do and get hammered before going on stage.

hammered=drunk?

 

[Metaltastic]

Yup, which seems like an exceedingly poor idea to me! Don't wanna sound like Schenker

 

[Felix Neumann]

Hahaha I would like to see Petrucci drunken on stage...if he´d play all the solo stuff that well? Love this thought. I think, he would sound like Hammett..lol

I hear ya, dude! And I KNOW, I will go through the same thing like you..maybe a bit more terrible, cause I was not on stage since nearly one fucking decade. keep us updated, how it was for you. I wish you all the best for the gig

Dude, what are you doing posting here? You should be learning those tunes!

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

Ya I've never bought into the idea of staying sober onstage. Sure you don't play as well but you have a better time and so does the crowd, provided that you're a little wilder on stage.

Moderation is the key I would say.

Haha I know. I posted that after staying up till like four AM trying to figure stuff out. I just went over it again, but now I have to go to work. Arghh. I got the basics, just have to get more comfortable with the structures. Thats why I'm bringing my ipod to werk, heh.

Yea, a bit of booze may help, as long as I don't get too "loose" and forget everything, haha.

As my hair gets thinner and grayer and I get uglier (the hair seems to move from my head to my back), my ability to recognize that those two extra Jack and Cokes before the show can be a bad idea ABSOLUTELY refuses to increase.
