What was the first gig you ever did. Your band name, location of gig. Did anything go wrong?

What music were you playing? Covers? Original material thrown in?

Audience reaction? Was your first gig your last gig in a certain band.

Come on folks, let's have some tales!

Well, few years ago now. 'Tank from Hell' took the stage for their first and last performance at the local hospital xmas do'. To be fair a lot in the front row were nodding to the tunes - covers from the Stones, some blues, cream etc. Trouble was it was a phsychiatric hospital so the nodding continued way after we finished. Don't mean to be cruel but it was funny nevertheless.

oh god

first gig was when i was 16, i was drumming at the time for this band called...honestly i cant remember. But there was this lass singing that still see every now and again, it was suporting a local band called "sablerain" at the time. In fact one of the guitarists in that band we supported went on to join towers of london and then for the prodigy.

Yeah things went wrong, we were only young, we forgot one of the songs completely and my mate did a good job of ending it. the lass singing turned round to us all redfaced we doing a mix of covers from chili peppers and no doubt and a few of oiur own. ah good times

iv progressed somewhat now and i play guitar in a deathcore/mathcore band
