Filed Under : Music

Posted By : Scott - Metalleeka | Comments : 36

yes I know it's not on the NWB top 20 chart lol

I'm hoping to play on stage with Mick from Bad Horsie for the first time tonight and we've agreed to give Iron Maiden's The Trooper a go.

We need a bassist, a drummer and a gobbist.

I could give it a go at singing but it would be awful

who's up for it?

I've been brushing up on
Hard 2 Handle
Gimme Some Lovin (thunder version in G)
Alright Now
and All The Small Things

So I'll give them a go on geetar tonight
Any others, I'll happily have a go on the drums

Happy to do Enter Sandman or any other Metallica stuff if you guys know it.

Rock on, can't wait, should be a right good laugh.

So who exactly is coming tonight?

I know Karen and Scott from Shine are coming
Roj from Twin Lizzy
Rick from the 45's
Pete from Sabre
Chris from Ride On

Who have I missed?

# Posted by Tuskan - 13/11/2009, 12:04 (GMT)

Will give trooper a go on drums - baz

# Posted by Scott - Metalleeka - 13/11/2009, 12:15 (GMT)

Don't worry Mark, just make it up, that's what I'm gonna do when I forget it.

We should have a competition to see who can get the stupidess line into a song tonight :-D

Billy was brilliant at it in Without Reason cos he could never remember the words lol

Just being on stage with Mick, Baz, Mark and whoever wants to do the bass will be a right good laugh in itself.
