My first live show! · DIGIT-ARC

Well I know this is a useless thread but cant control the excitement. Today it was confirmed. 10 out 21 students who are learning guitar at our school are chosen to play at our school's choir night! And I am one of them. We gotta play for around 30 mins. with 4 songs on the setlist (There is an indication that one more will be added).

The school is spending a lot of cash on that show. First, the choir will sing for around 1 and a half hour and then 30mins. of our guitar performance. As we are amatuer guitarists, none of us own an electric guitar or bass. So 7 electric guitars and 3 bass guitars are being 'rented' by the school along with amps.

.

The show is pretty near. Around 4th Feb.

Pretty excited

.

Best of luck for your first live show.

Cheers Paranj..so which songs are u going to cover ? Hallowed be thy name ??

Do post us a utube video of show !Best of LUCK !

Get some freaky masks too. Rock the bottoms up.

Our setlist is set by my tutor and the school's princi so no metal

The setlist as of now is :-

1) Hotel California
2) Summer of '69
3) Socha Hai
4) Pappa Kehte Hain (WTF!)

On a side note, even my ex-crush is in the group

Actually, our sir has tought us Another Brick In the Wall (Part II) but the solo is fking hard plus the lyrics are a little repulsive to be played in a school.

Yeah mine, just a common breed which is yet so uncommon as a pet

Naah, the siggy is nothing explicit. Its just a lame Hilly-Billy way of starting a dialog with someone...lol. Watch Deliverance to see this dialog in actual context.

It's not "useless". I know how excited I was for my first gig

Better keep practicing.

The renting of guitars and amps is standard procedure. It is to ensure uniformity ( and probably so that no one can say "my guitar phailed me" in case they screw up

).

Just a few tips:

1) Make sure you know what/which guitars are being rented and that your band knows how to tune them. (You'll need to tune them just before you play, dont tune it an hour or so before the gig. Trust me, you'll regret it)

2)Practice hard. (I dont think I need to explain that

)

3)Involve the audience (You'll recieve more fans by doing so :wink:

)

4) Enjoy yourselves

Change your 4th song to any other song (if possible) like as esumikumar said (Tu Dhoop Hai from TZP) or even Nothing Else Matters.
I bet LP, Green Day is popular, check those out too.

All The Best

^^4th song can be with same actor:
Pehla Nasha

LOL, our entire school sang 'Another Brick Part II' in the morning assembly against the banning of cellphones due to DPS MMS clip. Some of the better players brought their electric guitars and connected it to the school sound system.

We sang edited version of Queen's 'We will rock you' then after. The song was 'We will f*** you'. The entire lyrics was pretty much explicit and our Principal was almost about to cry. He expelled 30 students and suspended 78 students (including me) for a month.

Damn, it was almost Woodstock.

^^lol...BR act will put things right for ya students

Ofcourse, its just a game...

*Sing it* We don't need no education...

I dont think posting names will be a good idea but if more guys request, I will post them.

I am the bassist for Summer of '69 and Hotel California plus the vocalist (not confirmed yet)

And lead for the rest two songs.

And as you are curious, my ex is the rythum guitarist on every song.

Naah. No Names. I wanted to know who/how many are playing what instruments. (I respect piracy...sorry..privacy

)

Practice hard :twisted:
