Guest O.J. Hart Report post Posted February 5, 2003 Well, my band called "We Need a Ride Home" is playing its first gig friday night. We're playing at a place in a town near me where my dad's band plays. I play bass guitar, my friend gene plays Lead Guitar, my friend Bret plays another electric guitar, my friend rick plays keyboard, and my friend pete plays drums. We play stuff from rancid, Blink 182, Box Car Racer, rancid, Sum 41, The White Stripes, The Hives, The Vines,apples in stereo, a coldplay, and they kight be giants, and old bands like the Beatles, wings, the hollies, and the beach boys. I'm pretty nervous, but alot of our friends are playin there and the guy who owns the place already listened to us before he booked us, so that's some pressure off of me.

Guest Lethargic Report post Posted February 5, 2003 I play bass guitar, my friend gene plays Lead Guitar, my friend Bret plays another electric guitar, my friend rick plays keyboard, and my friend pete plays drums. So you're saying that the guys in the band are your friends? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Phr33k Report post Posted February 5, 2003 Write your own songs. Just doing a bunch of covers won't get you anywhere. Although I like that you do the Beatles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted February 5, 2003 Unless you wanted to be pelted with cigarette lighters and nickels, I'd suggest dropping any Wings compositions from your set list. I mean it: I'm coming to your gig with a plastic bag full of change. As soon as I hear the opening notes of "Band on the Run," I'm aiming for blood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted February 5, 2003 I'm in a band called "Sweet Baby Bitch and the Gay Faggots". We're playing a gig right now. I like to bring a computer on stage. The crowd loves it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted February 5, 2003 my friend Bret plays another electric guitar Oh Lord...Do you possibly mean RHYTHM guitar? Yeah, this band is gonna go over HUGE... My advice: Blow your speakers within 5 minutes, rendering your band unable to play, and saving you the embarassement. And bring your laptop, so we all know how it turns out, AS IT HAPPENS!!!

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 5, 2003 Personally, I think you should play a Beatles track, then segue right into Sum 41, just to make the crowd vomit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest R2DFooster McSockman Report post Posted February 5, 2003 OJ's inconsistent use of capital letters annoys the shit out of me. Literally. Cunt. I'd like to hear a Birdhouse in Your Soul/In Too Deep/God Only Knows medley, but your band doesn't seem to have a singer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JangoFett4Hire Report post Posted February 5, 2003 Will you have a hot tub on stage as well? So you can have sex with that girl again? Can the audience too, have sex with that girl, as long as she lies and says she's over 18? Where is this gig? I'm ready for a road trip... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lethargic Report post Posted February 5, 2003 I'm glad my old band wasn't first starting when I was on the internet. I'd hate to see the responses to the covers we used to play. We used to do stuff like Skid Row, Faster Pussycat, GnR, Motley Crue, you know that whole glam rock era. Luckily we never played a whole set of them live. That would've been too embarassing. We started writing our own songs before we played shows. The funny thing is that we thought we were a arena rock band. But since we sucked and our songs sucked everybody told us we were a punk band. Our first's show was at our high school's original music concert where any band in school that wrote their own music could perform for a little while. We did songs with a bunch of gay songs called "Lethargic, D (because we tuned down to D to play it), Caveman, Satan's Bride, The Wolfman" and one cover of "Down on the Farm" because it was right after GnR performed on Farm Aid and did that song. haha. We were up there and played those 5 goofy ass songs and left like champions. Until the other bands played. Like I said, this was during the whole arena rock era, so all those other bands all sounded just like Poison or whatever. They all came out there dressed like Kiss, had Les Pauls and Marshall stacks and pyro and everything. They were all the senior guys that had played for years. We were just the freshmen losers that had been together for a few months. So we thought we really really sucked at that point. But once those bands started playing everybody started leaving. The next day at school everybody was talking about how good WE were. We thought they were crazy. It turned that nobody liked those other bands cause they all tried to sound like Poison and succeeded, and we didn't. We THOUGHT we sounded like Poison but it turned out that our songs were all so simple, goofy, catchy and retarded that everybody thought we were supposed to be a punk band. So since we were the only band that sounded different, everybody ended up liking us. "I thought you guys were a rock band! Everybody sounded like Warrant except for you! It kicked ass!" So from then on out we figured out that we were really a punk band and the band ended up lasting for 10 years. And still sucked for all 10. I got stuck on a story there. Sorry. Ending my pointless story now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted February 6, 2003 I have a distaste for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" because of all the dumb teenagers who say it's the best Beatles song cause it's about murder. Please. Pick up the White Album if that's what you're after, you uneducated pricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest What? Report post Posted February 6, 2003 OJ...do you honestly think that we believe you? Just the fact that your band is called "We need a ride home" makes me think you just saw 'Reality Bites', saw Ethan Hawke's bands name (I forgot what it was, but it was something like 'We Stole your Bike') and decided to 'make a band.' Well fuck off, man...first off, you're mixing untalented cunt bands like Sum 41, Boxcar Racer, and Blink 182 with Rancid, The Beatles, The Hives and The Beach Boys (yah, I like the Hives...fuck off, homey ) Here's an idea: PLAY BETTER SONGS, YOU COCK. Play "I am the Walrus" instad of Sgt. Pepper; play "Here we go again" instead of "Hate to say I told you So"; hell, play "Smells like Teen Spirit" instead of "Get Free". Do something that actually takes some talent... Jesus Christ, you give people with bands a bad name, you twat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted February 6, 2003 Hives rock, but I don't much care for the Vines, White Stripes, or... that other one that's like them. I would put Rancid in the untalented group, but stop short of calling them cunts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Insanityman Report post Posted February 6, 2003 ...No, don't play Nirvana. I'll be perched in the rafters- and the first Nirvana note I will leap down and show next to no mercy. Same with Rancid and Beatles, and the joke posts are wearing thin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted February 6, 2003 Evenflow: The Beatles also have a song called "The End." It's the last (listed, but god knows there's no point in counting "Her Majesty") song on the last Beatles album (in the order that they were recorded; Let It Be came out after Abbey Road but was recorded prior to it). It's about 45 seconds long and requires some vocal harmonies and spot-on instrumentation to work. DON'T PLAY THIS SONG, O.J.! IDRM: I think the band you're looking for is The Strokes. All of those bands were sort of lumped together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted February 6, 2003 That's it, The Strokes. Thanks, Kinetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
