OK, so.. as theres no posts here I`d thought I`d start one off

What do you love about playing live?

Whats the best gig experience for you?

Whats the worst thing thats ever happened to you on stage?

Thanks mate

Well,best thing about giging is sharing pure energy with audience.
And I don't think only of raw and loud energy like playing heavy stuff etc.
It's also like when you're singing some soft part with keys in background and then add nice solo after.
Dunno,it's just wonderful.

Best thing ever happened to me?
Can't tell for sure,just trying to give 100% from myself all the time.
And biggest award is applause I guess so lets say I've had many best moments so far.

And worst...probably breaking the string while shredding

do you have a video for us to see?

Well,not really...looks like I made it up

Yup, would def agree, a total buzz to play live, nervous tension before the gig etc, love it!

just trying to think of a worse moment here ... actually not so much worse but most embarassing and it wasnt me, our drummers stool leg went through the floorboard on the stage and he fell off his stool mid song(not hurt or anything) but was real funny, not at the time, but afterwards ... and now actually thinking about it

Poor drummer ....funny story too

the thing i love when im on stage is the excitement
at the begining im a litlle nervous but after that its pure fun
the best gig that i had was not a big one... it was in a pab but
it didnt mater that ther were only 100 people there was a great energy!!
and i played with my band ( now we are on timeout heheh ) and i realy
liked the songs so it was a great experience

lmao, damn that must have been awfully ebarrasing , but funny as well, to watch of course.

The free beer!
...and it's a great feeling to stand there, play loud and rock hard.


don't know... hope it's yet to happen


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!

No its ok, it was Muris' board and he replied already so you are good

lol, i fell for it

it hapened some 12 years ago and its something that still comes up in convo, well funny




lmao!! I fell for it too

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

Hehehehe

What the... !!!
I used to be bad. Now I'm just a bad example


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.
