Had an awesome gig last night!

[jeffrey]

We headlined a show at the local rock/metal bar and had a great turn out (350-400 according to the door).

I finally got my CBP JP7 setup the way I like. There was never anything wrong with it, it's just my PRB JP7 was so worn in and setup the way I like, had all kinds of good mojo! But with my PRB JP7 needing work now (new nut, fret dress, volume pot and 3-way) I've had to rely on my CBP as my main.

Well last night it was great! We sold a lot of merch and had a lot of people hang out talking to us. I even had some 18yr old girl come up to me after the show and tell me one of my solos was so emotional it almost made her cry!

A little cheesy I guess, but really cool for someone to tell you nonetheless.

Careful now! Some '18 year old' girls have slightly dodgy maths!

 

[PugNinjas]

Right on, there's nothing like playing to a packed house and have people really groove on what you're doing !!

 

[Norrin Radd]

Awesome!

Just think what that experience will be like with a BFR JP with a beautiful flamed maple top!!!

And be careful, most "18" year old girls still have 2 or 3 years of high school left - be sure to I.D.! No, I'm not kidding.

Hey I didn't touch! lol

Well she gave me a hug, I was all nasty sweaty too.

Someone filmed most of/all of it and there were lots of random pictures taken, once I get something I'll post'em.

oh dear

 

[jeffrey]

I guess every gig I just hope to connect with someone. Hope that someone just "gets it". I figure if you establish that with at least one person every time you play, you did good.

what do you mean by that ?


(just kidding )

What do you play with your band ?

Well, with two JP7s I gues you don't cover any Madonna song but more precisely...? :]

Hehe no Madonna, although covering Frozen heavy would be cool.

The Youtube link in my sig is for an older song, I posted a link to a newer song we'd just finished recording ourselves here: http://www.ernieball.com/forums/mus...ing-john-petrucci-7s.html?highlight=song+band

 

[klawn]

Haha, makes me think about bands like Nickelback/3 Doors Down/Alter Bridge.
Must be cool to play in such a band :]

 

[jeffrey]

We actually get a lot heavier than that, there's quite a bit of variety.

Check out the MP3 in the other link.

Did she ask you for an autograph?????????

 

[Astrofreq]

Be careful, most 18 year old girls are REALLY 17!!!

 

[jeffrey]

[TonyEVH5150]

Yeah, she probably wanted him to sign her hall pass.

 

[Dizzy]

Yeah, she probably wanted him to sign her hall pass.

Or the socks she had stuffed in her bra !

 

[jeffrey]
