The Audition & A Different Democracy...

So the audition went better than I had hoped. First off we warmed up and played the tunes I had learned, they seemed really impressed at the effort I had put in to be a part of their band which was my aim. So that went down well. Next up I sat down while they played me some of their new material, and I've got to say some of it is incredible. Obviously the songs are still a little rough around the edges but there's definitely great potential there.

After practice I went along to watch them play a short gig, which was really cool to see. They got a really good reception from the people watching, I was so pumped seeing it. Wished I was up there, but hopefully I will be one day soon.

The next step now is that Scott is going to email me some rough recordings of the new stuff for me to work on, so that the next time we jam we can play through them together and maybe tweak them a bit. I feel pretty honoured that they want to hear my ideas for them even though I know it is sort of a test to see if I have what it takes to be in their band. I'm pretty sure that I do so I can't wait to get started.

In other news I acquired the new Guns N' Roses album today. Fifteen years in the making, but I have to say it is, in general, outstanding. I've listened to it 5 times in a row and it keeps getting better. Check it out.

Axl you are my hero again.
