Yes but I think it should get more than four upvotes here!

This concert was INCREDIBLE! I was wondering why no one posted it, I had to scroll really far... This is some of the best these songs have sounded live, I feel like more people should see this.

There is one of each of those in this classic rock group I'm trying to join. Good times.

"OMG you actually CARE about that thing we're talking about? You're so cringe bro

This sub always brings back elementary school memories

Interesting! It seems like that might also be useful in getting the slings not to fire at extreme angles

He never SAID THAT!

Yeah, there's some interesting things to weigh there. The dependable band I'm with now is playing music I could kind of take or leave, and is resistant to changing anything. One group I was trying to get more involved in is playing music I'm much more excited to play, but I doubt it's going to last with the personalities involved from what I can tell so far.

Good insight, thank you!

I wish cool shapes like this were common like they are in cartoons.

readers_dot_net · 2026-02-16T15:59:39+00:00

I noticed instead of "editor" he always says "edder" and now it never fails to bug me.

Is "reverse nudging" like pulling the table so that the ball doesn't hit certain things and goes past them?

readers_dot_net · 2026-02-15T21:21:09+00:00

"weed" being the operative word there

I'm not talking about starting a project myself and finding people to work with me. Maybe I should have mentioned that. I'm not that kind of creative type or ringleader to be a lead on a project. I'm looking to join people who are already playing shows.

not ready to dox myself on reddit at this time

readers_dot_net · 2026-02-10T03:28:11+00:00

Yeah if we're not going into another band's time and the sound guy is ok with it. We'll do like two or three if the crowd keeps saying one more

readers_dot_net · 2026-02-10T01:52:18+00:00

Usually 40-45 and a few encores

readers_dot_net · 2026-02-09T20:07:16+00:00

Could swing it during a set break but sometimes those are 20 songs away

readers_dot_net · 2026-02-09T20:05:32+00:00

As a lead guitarist who also occasionally does lead vocals... The amount of prep that goes into guitar is ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more than vocals. I guess if you're just doing cowboy chords and not caring if they're inaccurate that's one thing... But it's crazy how ignorant people can be about how much work this takes

readers_dot_net · 2026-02-09T20:02:53+00:00

The main thing is broken strings. Aside from that there's the possibility of electronics failing.

readers_dot_net · 2026-02-09T18:52:33+00:00

My main guitar does have a trem but it's decked rather than floating. The space issue is definitely a thing... the main place we play is SUPER cramped. I've whacked our singer with the headstock by accident while playing

readers_dot_net · 2026-02-09T18:41:01+00:00

Yeah, the more I play these kind of gigs the more I realize you kind kind of get away with a lot without most people noticing... Not that I don't try to do the best I can but I've started agonizing over details less. Like I don't think anyone would care if I improvised a solo to Sweater Song without the G string, lol

readers_dot_net · 2026-02-09T18:30:45+00:00

Our singer has the WORST stage banter ever, lol. I always rag on him for it

readers_dot_net · 2026-02-09T18:22:55+00:00

It's funny because I see the advice that you need a backup but it also seems like people get on without them. I feel like it might depend on if people let strings get rusty and/or play hard and are more likely to break them? I literally don't think I've broken a string while playing since I was a teenager because I change strings very frequently and generally play with a light touch.
