We all have performed at sometime, so i wanna here some of your stories. Anyways heres mine......

Our band, which we decided to name "weapons of class disruption" temporarly untill we thought of a better one, made the auditions for our school talent show. Not only did we make the audition but we got to close the show.
So, 80 percent of the band was setting up when the one of the authorites in charge tells us they're not gonna announce us, they're just gonna open the curtain and we'll start playing. But I'm like wait, where's alex?? (other guitarist in band) She said "oh he's starting from the back of the auditorium." I'm like "ok he didn't tell us he was doing that." being kids, we don't all have money to afford wireless adaptors, but alex had just recently gotten one for christmas. so they open the curtains on us and alex starts playing his preamble to the song which consists of some pretty sweet tapping material. Well, the audience just stared at us in auw like, what the hell are they doing. Since i was smart enough to catch the drift that nobody new where alex was i pointed to him. As alex finished his preamble and made his way up to the stage, he threw his pick into the croud and they went nuts.
So from there we started the song we named "running from yourself." now i must say, i nailed my solo when i got to it but that's besides the point. Directly after my solo was another solo for alex, which we accompanied him on. Right as he started it HE JUMPED OFF THE FREAKIN STAGE. The croud went nuts it was insane. As he played his solo he was running back and forth across the front off the auditorium. It was the coolest thing any of us had done in our entire lives.

ooo, me got a story to tell, only i was at the concert, not playing it. (it wasn't a metal or metallica concert, but its still a pretty cool story) anyhow, i went to this one concert (the brittish invasion) back in march. i felt pretty weird cause im more into metal and the brittish invasion was crawling with every form of punk imaginable. i waz there for the main bands, (the adicts, vice squad, etc.) cause they were the only ones i knew. so i stood around chillin waiting for them to come on (you know, they save the best for last) and i think it was when vice squad was finally about to come on, that a riot broke out- well, sumthing like that. i heard it started cause some skins where yelling "racial slurs." so with that, i heard that there was a stabbing, and sum pretty ultraviolent fights started. but with all the craziness happening, i don't think every one found out, untill it was too late. Over head choppers started dropping tear gas for "crowd control" but i guess some peoples thought it was part of the show. not until everyone's eyes started buring out of their skulls (thanks to the tear gas) did people start realizing what was happening. so with a big stampede to get out of the building, more police came for "crowd control." course i was out of there by then.. knowing the show was over, me and my ride thought about stopping by to a nearby jack in the box. (yes, this is still part of the story) we decided not to and drove all the way back home. then sum of my rides friends (who were also at the concert) called her to ask where she was. my ride said why, and they told her all about that the punks were angry for not getting to hear the best bands, so they decided to productively take out their anger on the nearby jack... it was totaled: windows were smashed, a small fire was lit, and the place was just junked. so the cops held everyone up; no one going anywhere, as they tried to sort out the riot. things eventually got "under control" but it was like forever before people could leave. (at least thats what my ride's friend said.) i was like, dam* i missed a riot, but at least i got out of the long hold up. so the next day i just watched riot scenes on the news, and yup that jack was pretty totaled.

well i do have several storys its a pain to choose just one

i guess when i went up to canada bout two years ago to see my cousins band myth i had been exposed to a unreal guitar player named clayton leduc, at this time i had a guitar but had no interest in playing it because i had nothing to play or inspiration. but this guy who had been playing for only about three years was the most insane thing i ever saw,
so the moment i got home i grabbed my guitar and bled learning to play. the hours i poured into my instrument were endless. my dedication to the music was invincible.

and then two years passed and i went back up to canada and jammed with the dude who inspired me to play guitar. and he looks at my cousin and says "holy crap this guy is insane, we gotta get him up on our next gig" at this point we all put in several hours trying to teach me their songs, it went well.

not long after that the big day came up and just minutes before going up i was amped! i felt like i could take on anything. so as we greeted eachother before going on the feeling of excitement started to slip into a cold feeling of dread. "what if i miss the chorus, what if i hit the wrong notes, what if i slip and fall during my solo" so i was trippin. and finally time to go on. the other band is getting off all sweaty and exausted. the roar of the croud is thunderous. i was deciding wether i should go on.

finally my cousin talked to me for a brief couple seconds during our introduction. the words he said are lost but the power i got from them decided.. i was gonna go. so as i stepped out and see the croud all fear was lost and we all just let go into the first song. the feeling was better than sex! it was increadible all went well and we came back for an encour and then the night was over. i dont remember the afterparty but the next morning i had a head full of memories and a terrible headache
