Gig done with less than 24 hours notice
So some of you may have wondered, hey! where has that godlyone been for the past couple days? Well I'll tell you a sotry children, come and sit.
Now yesterday I got out of school and instantly recieved a call from my good friend Andrew. Here is how the dialogue went:
Me: Ello?
Andrew:Dan!
Me: Yeah, what's up?
Andrew: I need your help!
Me:(thoroughly confused) Ok, who did you kill or who is trying to kill you? (knowing this kid it could have been either of them and I would be completely unsurprised)
Andrew: No, come over. Now.
Me: Ok... I'll drive over in a bit.
So I get to his house and open the door and he is just sitting there with a dazed look. I ask him what's going on. Well, apparently his lead guitarist dropped out of his band the day before a big gig. Which is beyond fucked up due to the fact that we found out later that he planned it. I'll castrate him for the amount of frustration I've had over the past 48 hours. So, being the only other good guitarist he knows, Andred begs me to learn six whole songs (one of which is over ten minutes long with two solos) in under a day. So I was up till three this morning learning songs. I then woke up at seven and did it agian till one. I then played at eight tonight.
Here's the video: http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=46109305
Remember, I had less than a day to learn six songs. The video camera it was shot from had awful sound quality but what are you gonna do. I'm the guy jumping around like a moron and andrew is the shirtless son of a bitch.
Insert* Fun little facts. I fucked up half way through and played the completely wrong riff, no one would have realized it but andrew had to go ahead and point out my flaw. Jackass. And I forgot I had to scream too, came as a shock when he came over to me, as you can tell in the video. Overall we did very well, considering the amount of effort put into it from one day.
