Small world. Congrats and best wishes! Quote

Captain Bass Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 Thanks to everyone for your support! Think of me at 7pm tomorrow night! Hopefully have some pics and stuff for you guys! Cheers, Andy x Quote
OldGit Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 have you made it out of the toilet today yet? I'm even nervous on your behalf Quote
Captain Bass Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 So I have put together a video with footage from the O2 Arena. I basically walked around all day with my sony handycam and filmed anything and everything! I got one of our guitar techs to record us soundchecking and then the show from the side of stage. To put into words the feelings and emotions that i felt that day would take forever, but it was an AMAZING day! The only bad thing I could say was that none of us got to meet John or the guys to say thankyou! We tried but we needed 2 extra passes to even get near his dressing room!! Besides he arrived 5mins before his soundcheck and left 5mins after their set! Here is the video, it also features a cover I recorded (I did everything apart from the solo and vocals) Hope you like Def Leppard Andy x Quote
paul h Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Glad it went well Captain. Turns out we have a mutual friend. I saw some piccys of the gig on Maria's Fb page! Quote

Also your band looked like a "big gig" band, especially the guitarist. Great stuff! Quote
