Shittiest gig I ever played. Lots of LOL.

[skullfxr]

This was last night. I was doing a favor for a friend on doing a doom/death ore open for him. He needed to cover up a 20 slot. No pay. PA was vocals only. Brought my beater gibson and my Rockerverb.

I walked into the front with case and head in hand. Using provided 4x12. The dumbass doorman tried to get cover out of me and my two guys. I was like what the FUCK. I pushed past and set up. Drum kit and bass rig provided. Me and my guys were like fuck. Let's tear this place down.

There were about 50 younger kids, probably High School age. We needed no reputation nor did we care. I dimed the Rockerverb. VOLUME AND GAIN. The bassist dimed the 8x10. Singer was the bassist. And we were like fuck y'all. Got up. Got into some drone. I signaled the drummer for breakdowns as we communicate well on stage. We had no established lyrics or anything. Flying by the seat of our pants. I just told him to go by feel. We had a BLAST. ears still ringing. Lol. So after I ask for a beer and he said $6. I was already irritated and said fuck off. Walked down to the gas station and picked up a quad of pints.

Walked in with them. The guy got mad.

I stepped out. Shotgunned them and threw the cans in the trash.

The motherfucker at the door tried to collect cover again. I just walked past. My friend had a decent set. And at the end my bassist went up to the mic and said, "thank you for showing up, and here is a royal fuck off to the owners"

We left. Fun time. Lol. I won't go back.

I realize that it's not a good practice, but we are not a band, just a few guys who jam on occasion.

Fun night. Lol

awesome.

 

[Kordoba]

That rocks!

 

[mystixboi]

Ok

I was expecting something like this

 

[japetus]

Should have brought the Blue Voodoo and a bottle of whiskey in the gig bag

 

[thrashinbatman]

The whiskey should just be a given.

Exactly. Who pays bar prices when you can have an entire bar in a shitty gig bag. Comped drinks only go so far these days.

I was expecting something like this

Worst band I've ever heard!

That said, the drummer was in a different league from the rest of 'em; he actually kept pretty-good time for the most part.

 

[RyeDaddy]

Hahaha!

There’s never a wrong time to shotgun beers in a parking lot.

Dude, no pay and no free beer even? Sounds horrible, glad you killed it!

 

[scottosan]

I haven't been to the clubs in Dallas for a bit, but the music scene is saturated, that it used to be pay to play. You had to draw a certain amount of customers to get your deposit back.

But the orange brings the doom.

I should have had whisky in the gig bag for this one.

 

[skullfxr]

awesome.

Thanks

Wow that does suck, but great story! Sounds like you made the most of it

Yeah. Lol. It was a blast. It's nice sometimes when you have no fear of a nonexistent reputation. Lol.

we played this gig once at a bar that would have been suited for a small jazz trio or something. we're a 4 piece metal band, and too loud and aggressive for this venue. Our high-on drummer at the time set it up because he "knew" the other band, who turned out to all be total cocksuckers.
We played 3 songs before they pulled the plug on us. literally. the guitarist for the other band yanked the speaker cable out of my guitarists 4x12 that connected to his boogie c+ head! Before we could even get to dealing with that issue, i head into the bathroom to take a piss. on my way out of the bathroom, someone busts in the door, and projectile vomits all over me.
All the while, my girlfriend was there as well as another female "friend" who...well, things were hella akward and fragile all night, lets put it that way. didn't get paid for the gig, was a big waste of time. rock and roll baby.

Sex, drugs, and heavy metal. Oh yes!
