first time i ever played live
uhm..

7 years ago, i was so nervous.. my grandpa gave me a nerve pill.. i ended up acting fucking crazy... it was fun though.

Nowadays, I get naked onstage. Fuck it.

sarramkrop 10.02.2007 06:22 AM

Happy birthday.

_slavo_ 10.02.2007 06:33 AM

It's some nice girls you're posting here, nefeli.

Anyway, wish you luck, jon boy.

The first (and only) time I played live, I was so nervous, I was hardly able to hit the right buttons on my sampler.

jon boy 10.02.2007 06:37 AM

its not the first time i have played live but the first time solo and totaly improvised.

Tokolosh 10.02.2007 06:39 AM

Good luck Jono. Blow them away!

jon boy 10.02.2007 06:42 AM

totally improvised = you can't go wrong

_slavo_ 10.02.2007 07:07 AM

yeah, my show was improvised too.

but there were four of us in the "band" so it wasn't all eyez on me.

alyasa 10.02.2007 07:09 AM

go jon boy!

sonicl 10.02.2007 07:31 AM

I'll be sending some friends of mine to give you encouragement.

break a leg?

Everyneurotic 10.02.2007 09:18 AM

have fun.

pokkeherrie 10.02.2007 09:36 AM

Good luck, Jon!

HaydenAsche 10.02.2007 10:42 AM

Good luck. Chill out and you'll be fine, man.

A Thousand Threads 10.02.2007 10:48 AM

Have fun, playing live is crazy.

Good luck to you.

Nice work squire. I had my first solo gig recently. I found that the crowd was a lot more sympathetic than to band shows. The fragility of a single person seems to affect people differently to a band, or even a duo.

Toilet & Bowels 10.02.2007 02:05 PM

GOOD LUCK

good luck, jon!

sonicl 10.03.2007 03:31 AM

How'd it go, Jon?

jon boy 10.03.2007 08:25 AM

thanks for all the kind words. it went really well, everyone played and it sounded good. people said i sounded good and maloney hugged me! also helped with putting amps in the taxi and everything so it was a good night. financially it was a total loss but screw it everyone had fun so...good!

i will post a few pics just prove it did actually happen.

sonicl 10.03.2007 08:28 AM

Yee-haw!

What was the full line-up?

jon boy 10.03.2007 08:33 AM

at the last minute sunburned couldnt play because they had to leave at 7am the next morning so czech nymphs (phil todd, ashtray navigations) stepped in. some of the members of sunburend did show up with mick flower to support the show. filthy turd put on an amazing performance involving wrestling masks, chocolate, semi nudity and climbing on the furniture. i played the guitar with a cymbal and it was loud loud loud. hella fun.

Best gig review I've ever read.

jon boy 10.03.2007 08:51 AM

the only thing was that i didnt get it recorded because my mini disc malfunctioned and didnt get it all. also, dont ever expect a drunk person to take pics for you no matter how easy it is to point a camera and press a button.

not even a picture of himself pulling a funny face no! by the end of the night he was sat cross legged in the middle of the room shouting at the sky.

Norma J 10.04.2007 05:03 AM

Welldone, man.

nicfit 10.04.2007 06:52 AM

Niiiiice! Glad everything went fine! Is that a line6 dl-4 you're using there? Too bad for the full-flashed-pics, looks like the lights on the celing had nice colours.
But hey, you were not there for a photo shoot after all.

jon boy 10.29.2007 12:46 PM

yes it is a dl4 and its about all i use, that and volume. if you dick around with the feedback, noise you can get some great sounds.

nicfit 10.29.2007 02:11 PM

good.
it's on top of my "effects to get" list along with a dod 250. and that's the end of the list as of now.

jon boy 10.29.2007 05:20 PM

i am not sure if they make them anymore. they are hard to come by nowadays but ebay is a good bet.

nicfit 10.29.2007 05:23 PM

they sell'em on "musician friends" (that's the only big online store I checked out of curiosity a couple hours ago). How much did you pay for yours?
they're like 250$ new on there. not sure about shipping overseas and stuff, I need to check ebay and some "real" store near my hometown...guess i'd be better off without import taxes and shipping even if the $$$ is low...
