Mog Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I'm usually running the desk so its regularly along the lines of "The kick wasn't clipping during soundcheck" "He definitely moved the mic on that guitar amp" "If he needs more monitor why not turn down the guitar amp and let the PA do its job" "Is there anyone here I know who'll run to the Bar for me" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Yesterday I found myself thinking about the 'What do you think about when you're playing thread' and wondering if Ritalin might help me keep my mind on the job in hand! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Usually "woohoo this is sounding great!" Which almost inevitably leads to me cocking it up within the next 3 second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-bbb Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 quite often it's pad thai noodles or a nice beef massaman but sometimes even a pint of lime and soda and a packet of ready salted will do hope this helps 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Not the band i'm in now, but the previous one, i was constantly hoping no one in the audience would kick off. We had a fierce drummer the size of a dump truck , good as gold and funny as hell, till someone upset him, and a singer who was pure gypsy, and damn good crooner, who had managed to get himself banned ( at one point in his life ) from every pub in the town of Chipping Norton where he lived, for scrapping. Never started a scrap, but usually finished them One of the last gigs we did, there were some Welsh pizzheads giving us some heat outside during the break and off it all went. Singer and his cousins nipped it in the bud. Chipping Norton town again. Weird times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Dull, lifeless gig Satdy night in a pub with TVs...I watched the second half of the football, then in the second set, the Amir Khan fight... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown_User Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Haha! So many in here that could have been lifted straight out of my head. Especially: "Cool, I've been spot on so far... ah crap!" "How does that middle 8 bit go again?" "Why is he playing that bit now?" "Are we nearly done yet?" "Gah, it's the last song, I was enjoying that!" "I wish that guy behaving like a Sir Richard Head III would go home." (probably this is what the audience are thinking of me too) Personally I love it when they leave the telly on so I can watch MOTD or whatever. I tend to just play then without being distracted so much by this other stuff, strange as it may sound. Although there's a video of us playing in a pub where the telly with the footy on was right next to me, and all the way through the song I'm basically just looking off to the side ignoring the audience. At one point you can see me going "ooooh!" when someone hit the post. Probably not my most professional moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
