Hey guys! I just found an old VHS that has my first show playing at the school.... I just digitalized it so I will upload it soon. I was 13 years old and formed a band with my best friends. I remember that the problem in those days was finding a singer so we used to put the less shy guy there...
 When was your first gig? How old were you? How was it? -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (coffeeman @ Feb 29 2012, 01:44 PM)  My first gig was when I was 16 years old at school, so it was 20 years ago, that's right! I remember we played a couple of songs of The Doors, a couple from The Cure and two originals. When we finished the public(my friends and my mom) start shouting for an encore, but our singer didn't know the lyrics and didn't want to sing any more, so I steped up and decided to sing the next one. It was "Smells like teen spirit" I've had practice that song for a year I knew the lirycs and all the guitars perfectly, so it wouldn't be any problem. I started with the main riff and the drummer didn't enter correctly in the song, nothing to worry about, but when I got to the first chorus I forgot the lirycs and the only thing I was singing was " a mosquiiiito , a mosquiiiiiito , an albino, a mosquiiiiiito , an albino, a mosquiiiiiito" so I forgot all the rest of the lyrics. We finished the song and got drunk, so everything went awesome. man! this is awesome!!! In that first gig that I'm talking about we also played Smells like teen spirits when the people shouted for "any more song"  QUOTE (SirJamsalot @ Feb 29 2012, 02:26 PM) My first gig was last year in the fall (Sept?) ~ I played at a local festival with a group of people I started practicing cover songs with. We managed to get on a really large stage with a great sound technician ~ everything went really well with the exception of my voice bombing out after the second song. I learned a very valuable lesson that day about having a sweet drink on hand for the vocal chords to keep everything smooth. Water DOES NOT cut it! haha. Anyways, it was an awesome experience. I've had 3 live shows since then, and in between shows I've been playing every tuesday night at an open mic which is the hi-lite of every week. Chris! yeah, I saw that video! So, you drink something like coke during the shows? -------------------- My lessons
