Both showings of this school of rock production I played in was pretty good. It had a lot of energy, and a really good crowd turn out. I'll talk about all of my songs.
Die Die My Darling: Guitars sounded great. I was really happy with the kids on that song. My bass was also good.I suppose my vocals were also good; I've never been really happy with them. I just always felt that something about them was missing, and it sucks that I never settled that feeling by the time the show happened. Drums were very meh; the drummer we had gets on my nerves. Too busy hitting on the girls and being a poser instead of actually learning his shit.
Pretty Vacant: I loved it. My only criticisms are toward our drummer and one of our guitarists, but they're kids, so whatever. Even though SOR has taught me that everyone should work hard and has no excuse for not practicing or learning your own stuff regardless of age...whatever.
Hungry Wolf: Easily my favorite song in the set. I didn't notice a single real bad thing. Drummer could've been a little more accurate with his particular beat, but no one noticed it. Also, I flubbed the lyrics at one point the second showing, but no one noticed I don't think, so no bog deal.
I Wanna Be Your Dog: Easily the crowd favorite. I feel that I did a really good job performing and singing this song. Unfortunately I feel that I was the only strong musician on that song. I don't mean to sound like a dick, but sometimes I question how often some of these other players practice.
Ball and Chain: Why did we do this song? No seriously. Why did we do this song? It's not even punk. Screw this song. No one likes this song. No one likes playing this song or hearing it. Why? Because it's about 4 minutes or so of 3 chords, and that's 3 notes for me. Awesome. I love wasting my time with garbage like that. But I digress. I doubt my sarcasm with bleed through the screen enough.I just wanna emphasize my supreme negative feelings toward this song. Also, guitar players on this song don't like tuning.That pisses me off.
Teenage Lobotomy: It took forever for everyone on this song to learn it properly, but they eventually did it, and it became one of the best songs in the show...at least in the first showing. The drummer messed up the reintro the second showing. We got back on, but it still happened.
God Save The Queen: The show closer. It was really really good, minus 2 of the guitarists not being on their A-game at all. Both had problems learning the arrangements. And by that, I mean, they probably didn't practice in their freetime, or even care to listen to the song more that once or twice.
Overall, fun show with flaws, just like every show I've been in for SOR so far.
