So ...

[Alpha Stryke]

Played a gig lastnite. Been looking for the right fit band wise like forever. A GP & keys my age, professional, a female vocal instructor from a music academy she's awesome.
GP's son on drums & an excellent bass player. My wife is a BS music major [classicly trained operetic soprano & keys] in 2 groups of her own. They invited her too for next week.
Like nobody smokes tobacco [thank God] nobody is a 60's classic rock burnout alcoholic or drug addict.
Everybody gets along, its fresh. They actually play "music".
Played the LUKE lastnight w/a ZW overdrive & TC dreamscape chorus thru their Vox AC-15.
LUKE never goes out of tune, super versitile. The AC-15 was perfect for this situation. In fact had to "turn down" several times.
They are connected in the local scene. Finally found something that works.
I love monster amps but never underestimate the power of 2 EL-84's.
No hand trucks needed we got roadies.

So...nobody from the 60s played music? Take your tan pants and el84s back to TGP.

Drummer must hit like he's testosterone deficient. Tan pants level unlocked. TGP status achieved. So much for "muh stack".

Congrats on the gig! What's the name of the band and the venue you played at?

 

[MadAsAHatter]

That's nice everyone gets along. Don't worry though you'll fuck up the band dynamic soon enough.

Sounds like a good group of dudes. Congrats! Groups like that aren't easy to find.

 

[Alpha Stryke]

Actually between the PA vocals & the drums my hearing was in the crossfire.
Drummer is young but very good. Having ruptured an eardrum in da 80's i gotta be cool with that AKA P. Gilbert syndrome.
Its the cymbals that fry your ears.

It would be sick if the fictional band was called "Alpha Stryke" with all its accomplished musicians

Alpha Stryke Radial GT would be a great name for a high performance car tire.

When you play with drummers who are still using zildjian Z's that happens.

Congrats! I hope it improves your outlook on life and allows you to focus on more positive things, like music!

10-4 you can't winn if you don't play the game.

When Steve played his similarly-coloured (maybe exactly the same) one on-stage, it looked pretty-cool IMHO.

Depending on the angles to-camera and light hitting it it would "change colour".
