Degree rehearsal

A brilliant rehearsal tonight. really pleased that the band is starting to come together and that everyone is getting right into it. I was especially happy with Big mike as he was hearing things i was missing and once we sorted them the band was sounding tighter.

Backing vocals from the boys were sounding very tasty indeed. There were times when they were not right but i have let it natural iron itself out and the overall position of the vocals are sounding more together which gives me confidence in my own performance

The songs we did were the following:

The final list is 
Bon Jovi - Bad Name
Iron Maiden - Wasted Years
The Cult - Fire Woman
Skid Row - Quicksand Jesus
GnR - Sweet Child of Mine
Whitesnake - Here I go again
Metallica - Nothing else matters
ACDC - Shook Me
Aerosmith - Walk this way

This is more than i expect to play however after advice from Robin I am rehearsing these with the expectation to take one or two out.

In these little rooms the sound is loud, which i want to make sure that we are paying attention to and not getting out of hand. I dont want anything to be missed.

NEXT TIME - I couldn't have asked for a better run through. The next time will be the same format which is just to iron out the imperfections and concentrate on my own practice. I need to think about an order for the set now.
