"Just Got Back From My Gig"

So, I left about 4-ish to my drummer's garage, where we rehearsed our songs a few times over. Our booking time was 6, so we left at 5 and went into a reserved room, where we unpacked out stuff etc and tuned up the instruments.

We performed what was probably one of our best peformances, as I think we were all really together for some reason. We performed four of our songs (the best ones) and the crowd were really into us. I heard that AFI are touring the London area on the 12th, so we might go up there in hopes of talking music with them or something.

Any other SR members in a band here?

Heh.:) Nah mate, nothing like Slipknot. We're more of a moody-sounding band. Radiohead and Tool have been bounded around a lot, with regards to our sound.

Check out http://www.waffle.luvs.it and the Local Music section. There's some good bands with MP3's available to download from them.

Oh, we're Machine Made Man, but band name is changing soon, due to us hating it.

Yes I play in a band too. How delightful!

Play guitar me.

Biggest gig? Well.. I was part of a band (a side project of what I do regularly) who opened the Manic Millennium on NYE 1999 in Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. I played to 60,000 people. It was, as you can imagine amazing. Its one of my greatest achievements to date.

Played Reading/Leeds on the smaller stage too.

Worst gig? Hmmm.. injured my back and had to play sat in a chair at a giant open air gig to launch the Welsh assembly.

Playing in a rock band erm, rocks.

So like Slipknot?

Been playing drums for a while now, well, since I was 16 anyway. I plays in a band too and there's 6 of us. 2 Guitarists who play Keyboards, Bongos and Tabla as well, Bass, Singer and Turntables bloke.

i have been playing guitar for about 8 years now, but only have seriously thought about being in a band recently. my friend (lead guitarist) and i take our influences from guns n roses to metallica, the doors to monty python. we try to mix rock, blues, classical, and shove in indecipherable lyrics.

Im in a band that consists of 5 13 year old school boys that has written no songs. It has a drummer (me), a bass player, a keyboarder, a singer and a synthesizer. Unfortunately, we don't have a guitarist. It's rather depressing....

"How big is yours?"

We have one vocalist who also plays lead guitar, a keyboarder, a drummer and 2nd guitar (me). Due to our low budget, we don't have a bass guitar :(

"Are you in to loud but melodic stuff like Linkin Park, Manson and Rammstein or simply loud stuff?"

I am into quite a lot of Rock like Rammstein, but I don't like crazy, OTT rock. We perform in Rock-sort of style, but we are not crazy, like lighting ourselves on fire or anything.

"I've played in front of 4,000.... mind you that was a Jazz band..."

Good god - I could never do that - well, not anyway.

"You sued the name I suggested? Cool :-D"

Not exactly - we used it, not sued it! :P
