 Topic: Embarrassing performance pictures!
Posted: January 28 2007 at 22:44 |
I thought this would be a fun thing to do. This is just for musicians only, as I only want photos of yourselves to be posted here. This is kinda like the rogues gallery, but instead I want you to post any embarrassing pictures of you performing or just fooling around with a musical instrument. Should be interesting...
I would start off but the only picture I have is very very very uber embarrassing and I still shiver every time I look at it because it was an actual gig 
FOR THE ADMINS: I didnt know if this should be posted here or in "Just For Fun", but I put it here because its just for musicians. Cool?

On second thought, it would be rather hypocritical not to post it seeing as how I started this thread.
Okay ill make a deal. Ill post it once there is at least 5 pictures up here. Seems fair enough to me!

Ok, nevermind. I just realized not many people perform in public where photos are happening.
So stories are fine as well  |

Hmm only performed in front of people twice. The first time was an english project and my friend and I made a delta blues song. (the book was based in the delta around 1930 so we could play the blues!). I had the slide guitar and my other friend played rhythm guitar.
It was also the first time I used a slide (not to mention a steel string guitar). Highly embarrasing for me but I was told I did very good.

Another time was at my church. I was playing bass guitar and everybody could hear me and I had to play perfectly otherwise evrybody else would screw up.
I only noticeably messed up once.  |

Thats not too bad, I've played drums for my school's jazz band as a replacement before and I completely didn know how to keep a jazzy beat! Haha, it wasnt too bad.
But my most embarrassing one tops all of this!

How can it be embarrassing if you were told you did good?

My first band performed in a little club in front of maybe twnty people. Halfway through the set someone yelled out as they were leaving, "You suck!" Always nice to hear...

 Yeah, I've heard every musician's early gigs are a joke, utter disasters. But it does get better, and there's the rare great moment (just make sure to always record yourself).

Haha, I actually thought I played really well! Its just that this wasnt exactly the crowd that could watch me play 30 minutes without screaming or smashing some kinf of instrument. I could tell that they were all dreaming about Judas Priest concerts of the past

First time playing anything in public, first time playing a steel string guitar, first time playing with a slide without messing around.

This is a fairly embarrassing one of me. I'm the bass player on the left (this was when I had hair and mullets were in).
