Amok Rehearsals

[Jam]

Alright Amigos.

We have practices booked at Berkeley 2 for the following dates

Wed 7th June 3-6pm
Sun 11th June 3-6pm
Wed 14th June 3-6pm

So hopefully we'll be all set for the 16th.

I don't think Macho can make the 1st couple as he's off to Download but he says hopefully the 14th so we'll just have to soldier on without him for the first two!

Aye guys, sadly i will be at the download! Headin down on the wed night so i can set up base camp without all the hassle of fighting for a good area! I spoke to calum about it and said al leave like 20 bar with him to cover my end of the costs - want to at least do ma bit, we are a band and in it together after all! i get back on the tuesday 13th, so hopefully i can make the last one. I have said to ma manager that i want more morning shifts anyways so the bitch better have had her ears open! With practice in mind, calum i'l arrange somethin with you to meet at urs and go over the songs and any other things before i head out for the festival! Shouldn't be any probs tho, we all know ur parts like the back of our hand, its jus a case of refreshing our minds me thinks.
Cant wait for the thrash attack! Its been ages, but as ever we will return and DESTROY! MUHHOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

So the one on Washington Street? quite near that hotel?

[amoriffer]

yeah , the one we went to the first time, the bigger one

[keith_helli]

excellent, we should be sounding braw by the end of this

[amoriffer]

aye, mind you, ill need to give my fingers a rest before all this activity, i actually played till they bled the other day haha

[keith_helli]

with this number of practices lined up we should learn a cover for something to do

[amoriffer]

or else we could take the time to learn some of our own stuff instead haha

[Macho_Amok]

update! Im informed that the dwnload plan may be changing to leaving first thing on thursday morn, so i may still make the practice on the 7th! Heres hoping! \m/ \m/

cool man, right, i reckon everyone should have a wee look at contract predator, if ye can greg try work out the riffs coz they aint hard, most of them are riding as fast as you can on the A string with occasional power chords hahaha!, we'll have to put a lot of work in it to get its structure a bit better and the length of the song down from 8 minutes haha

I won't have a guitar til Tuesday but will give it a go then. Would we not be better off learning Dead to the World first, as it's easier and then if we get that done during the practises, we can spend the rest of the time dissecting Contract Predator and changing the structure?
