Premier Rock Forum

The highlight of the evening for me was when Justin from Queens got yelled at for using the Valnott.

well, obviously.

when you're playing in an ensemble, the Valnøtt will provide the particular guitarist with any icy cold edge that makes all the other players sound like worthless garbage.


Justin! Dial it back.

See, I missed that because I was relegated to the basement, where the vaulted ceilings made certain parts of the room like the Whispering Gallery in the Capitol building in DC.

That's who that guy is...Jeez he looked so familiar. I liked his Travis Bean. It played lovely.

Anyone else recognize some other professional musicians? Just curious...

If we could get Justin From Queens' forum title permanently changed to "Professional Musician," I'd be really happy.

Robert Poss is a Tenor, so he rehearsed with us in the basement yesterday. I'd say he's a professional.

Ah Jodi, it turns out I'm going to see the Ex this Friday night in Cambridge. (Someone here had an extra ticket (plus a ride) and so I've chose the path of least resistance.) Still! Y'all's show looks dope and I'm sure it'll be a blast. And I promise to visit NYC before leaving Providence. You have me word.

ah - yr a tenor. i saw the two beans in the tenor section - you must be the one with the 500 and hello kitty strap. i was drooling over it while you were on break yesterday.

sweet - section one is the aluminum neck section. i'm using my kramer dmz, fuck - now i feel like i should at least bring the 450. just don't feel like restringing again.

but yeah, i think section 1 is the "Rocker" section.


i have to say - i had asked to play bass and was a bit diappointed when i found out i'd be playing guitar...but i'm glad i didn't have to lug an svt w/ 8x10 up there last night. that would have sucked. i'm happy to use my crappy little fender combo amp.

In the Tenor section there's two of us.

I counted more Jazzmaster/Jaguars and Telecasters than anything else downstairs where i was rehearsing.

I can't wait to plug in today.

true. i think the altos get the shaft. what we're doing seems to be mostly syncopated rhythms...providing a pulse underneath everything else, while i think the sopranos sort of take the lead.

[quote="gheorge77"]I am in Soprano 1A Section 1. I hate myself for bringing my huge Fender stack but at least it sounds awesome. Quite an experience practicing in a huge church. I guess I am thankful I am a jew because I felt bad after everytime I cursed in the church.

Also, someone from one of the tenor sections came up to watch the end of the soprano practice and said our section was the "Angelic" section because the tenor parts were much darker and heavier.

i'm joking btw. i couldn't be more thrilled to be doing this.
