...and I am nervous as hell.
We are going to play a concert in our school, since we have finished our school career. It is common that pupbils of the final grade organize a concert. We formed a band for this occasion. Noone of us has ever played in a band before Problem is, there will be a lot of people around(about ~700) and we have hardly practised enough.
If I can, I will post some pictures or perhaps a video tomorrow.
Wish me luck

Good Luck mate and remember if something goes wrong burn your guitar hendrix style

Ivan, your advices are always helpful, thanks
Glad to help! Good luck!
Hey Gusys, I am back.
All in all it was an amazing experience to play in front of so many people.
We played 2 songs, The first one went pretty well, acutally I am pleased with our performance We didn't have any big mess ups... and the crowd was screaming I am sure they enjoyed it as we did.
The second song didn't went so well, our drummer made some mistakes. We got nervous and performed rather bad. In Addition the sound on stage was poor. I could neither hear the second guitar nor the bassguitar. Nevertheless, it was an amazing experience. I am going to recieve a Dvd with photos and a video soon. If it not to embarrassing I will upload them as soon as I can.
I can say one thing for sure, This won't be our last concert
Glad you survived!
Just kidding, of course! Congrats!
Mistakes happen at a lot of first gigs. "Learn by living," is the best motto that comes to mind ^^
Good luck - one song at a time.
I uploaded a video of our first gig.

Due to these silly hats I couldn't see a thing
I like it BUt the singer sounds wierd to my ears. Don't find a connection to his voice sounds like he is trying to imitate someone (Maybe Hetfield) in a funny way.
Where is a video from the Edguy song

I think you should get a new singer .
The singer don't know how to breath properly, You can notice it by the way he is ending every "sentence". Maybe if singing higher he could do it better, but low singing in that way is a 100% way of singing bad. So my advice change a singer or send this one for some teaching...
Good luck
Sounded nice to me.
I LOVE "Whiskey in the jar" (Metallica AND Thin Lizzy Version) - not an easy song to cover but you did very very well and I think it´s a great sign of approval that you can hear the audience enjoying themselves when you started to play your solo!
Thorben (singer) on the other hand butchered the song
Please tell him you can be cool AND don´t have to have a voice like Till Lindemann (singer of Rammstein)
Great job and congratulations to you all!
For a first performance I think you did well particularly as you were having problems with the monitoring . I think you'll probably be more critical of your performance than the audience generally. They looked like they enjoyed themselves so gratz .
Please post the Edguy Song too. I would like to hear it even when it's messed up.
