What do you love about playing live?
The free beer!
...and it's a great feeling to stand there, play loud and rock hard.

Whats the worst thing thats ever happened to you on stage?
When our vocalist (was was also playing guitar at that gig) raised his amps volume so it completely drowned mine. This was after the sound check (about 1 second before we started gigging) so it was a huge surprise to both me and I'm sure the sound technician.. and it was very wierd to play without hearing myself at all
So everything went pretty much alright for me. No beer spill over amp or pedals. No accident smashing guitar into a wall or anything. *knock on wood*

The Best Experience: Playing the guitar solo for Queen's: We Will Rock You. The pounding and clapping of the crowd then me ripping out May's solo and hitting everything perfect.
The Worst Experience: Having my mom open my bedroom door and tell me that dinner was ready... Dang none of the aforementioned event actually happened!
Oh well, maybe one day!

Oh crap... I did it like Blindwillie and went into an instructors board... AGAIN. If I keep this up I will soon be ahead of his record ;-)
Sorry!

Hey guys, the worst gig I ever had was when I worked in the house band at a strip bar every weekend for a year. After every song, there was no applause whatsoever! We were simply providing background music for the girls to dance to. It sucked.

Yeah,that kind of gigs is really killing people,specially musicians.
I played on few events,parties for major companies,
you're just sneaking around,quiet as possible.
It was like...an iPod band

I`ve probably played at more gigs like that than I`d care to remember

We thought we were getting amazing applause once but it turned out the barmaid had smashed a glass

No! Don't give him that!
Give him a sharp reprimand and let him walk away in shame!

For me the best was a moshpit when my band played "Motori" (Muris knows the song ) and everybody was singing it together....
The best thing I've seen from Muris is when the guy at about 2 min into "Always with you always with me" yells "zivotinjo!" (you animal).
It is funny but also very cool to get this kind of response from audience.

Motori rules,I played with one of my old bands as well,I mean,who didn't.
And "zivotinjo" was wicked,I think I heard it only after I saw recorded material,
not while we were playing

Oh thanks, that puts all the focus back on Blindwillie again.
