My first time on stage

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

was last night. caught me totally by suprise.

I was at the Teenage Bottlerocket concert, and i was hanging out with them before the show and they know that i cover their songs all the time on youtube (such as: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77OCcHqLmKU). So then in the middle of their set, Ray says, hey Dylan, come up here and play In The Basement with us. It was so cool. Miggy (their bassist) is way taller than me so i could barely reach the strings meaning i didnt do very good but who cares?!, it was fun as hell.

I will remember this forever, my first time to play on stage was to play along side one of my favorite bands! I don't think many other people could say that!

And i was actually really comfortale on stage, i sang along with the song and the crowd was cheering me on. it felt awesome!

Yea there was some people taking pics, I need to get those and once i do, i'll post them up here!

[HeavyMetalKing]

I would kill for an opportunity like this. Congratulations!

[bermuddy]

the ataris would always pick someone from the crowd to play a song onstage with them and i never got picked. i am quite envious. enjoy it!

[Soratar]

This is pretty awesome. If I could play drums for my favorite band, I would feel so awesome!

[ThrobingCane]

Thats awesome, I have never been to a show where this happened. But I have been to musicals where they brought people on stage during the show.

That's really cool. I've seen them live a few times, they're great. I'm really jealous.

[Xzyliac]

You're my hero.

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

They were really good. although i'm bummed that they ended on a cover of Talk Dirty To Me. They pretty much scratched their whole set b/c all of were requesting songs, it was really fun though. I also talked to Miggy for about 10 minutes before the show and then I talked to Ray for like 20 minutes, and he was trying to find some girls we could talk to...sadly it was a small show and there werent any single girls haha. And then I hung out with them for like 45 minutes afterwards too. It was awesome

the Cobra Skulls were really good too.

Holy crap I'm going to post every Rise Against song on youtube for every instrument and go to a bunch of concerts of them!!!!! :)

I've heard Rise Against can be a bit unfriendly, so I wouldn't count on it.

That sounds awesome, by the way. I can only imagine the rush you felt.

I agree with what you said about Rise Against

and yes, it was so surreal. I just looked over to my left and there is Kody and Ray who i'm playing with! I would never in a million years imagined that

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

So this thread is very old, but i thought i needed to put an update on this in that at the TBR concert last night (which was my 4th one to go to) i got to play up on stage with them again. it was just as much as the first time. and i spread the legs wide enough to where i could actually reach the bass this time. it was a blast. these guys are so cool. and so good live. go buy their **** now :)

[Renrock]

lol, now you're just spoiled! Awesome story though. :D

[someone180]

Wow your one lucky guy

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

lol, now you're just spoiled! Awesome story though. :D


Wow your one lucky guy

Yes i know. They are seriously such cool guys. i was not expecting to go back up on stage with them again. and then Ray said do you wanna play the end of the song with us, and i was like f*ck yes i do. such a good time

What did you hear about them? To me from the videos I have seen they seem a little goofy :p

[Shanerane]

...do you like The Clash?

[overdriveguitarman]

...do you like The Clash?

Why would you think that??

[Shanerane]

Why would you think that??

I had a small hunch. Hm, must've just been me :D

[Meatwad555]

I bet Trident is pretty jealous. lol

[instantdeath999]

I can't remember, honestly, I posted that awhile ago. I think I remember reading a story of a fan going up to them and saying something like "you guys were awesome!" and them saying "yeah, we know".

Hey, they could have just been worn out that day :p

[madcapmatt]

Yea there was some people taking pics, I need to get those and once i do, i'll post them up here! What happened here?:rolleyes:

[tridentgum0]

I bet Trident is pretty jealous. lol

Only about seeing TBR in person like 80 times. I'd hate to be pulled up on stage.

[zack10house]

Holy crap, I don't remember the last time I saw you here :p

[overdriveguitarman]

LOL!!!! haha! :p

That is hilarious

Well yeah they are pretty dang famous now, it would get a little annoying to have people come up to you all the time saying "I'm your biggest fan!" and "You guys are awesome!", I think it might have been a joke, Tim (the lead singer) was a known jokester in school so I wouldn't put it off him to say that as one :p

Anyway I have heard countless more stories of them being nice from people online that I actually could chat with and I know they are not lying (They went to the same concert as me, I asked how they met them, he said he waited oustide after the show for a few hours and Zach came out, then a while later Tim came out too. I also talked to another person that had a very similar experience. They both said they were really nice)

So yeah I wouldn't worry about it :)

[acdcrock]

When I was at Green Day about 5 people got pulled up, including a 10 year old kid...was incredi-jealous

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

What happened here?:rolleyes:

haha. never found the person taking them. wasn't a person who usually goes to the venue. i dont really pics though. its picture perfect clear in my memory haha.

yea. i've gotten lucky with seeming them a lot this year. i'm doubtful i will see them much for the next year :/
