Water Rats 2nd Jun 2018 Running Order - DOORS OPEN 1130

TTony · May 2018

@Brocco - thanks - I've put you down for lead on Just What I Needed, and taken you off Tush (which still has 2 rhythm players, so that's still perfectly viable). I've also moved Just What I Needed to the backend of the day to give you run-through time.

@Guitar_Slinger - thanks also - I've moved your bass part from Purple Rain and onto Beat It. Purple Rain is now gone @peteri.

@darthed1981 - the vox slots still open in sessions 1 & 3 are Fire, White Room and Signed, Sealed. If no-one else wants to step forward (watch everyone take two steps back) , I'd be most happy to accept your volunteering.

All updates reflected in the new running order list at the top of the thread.

Thanks - in a wedding excitement panic I misread that and thought I was doing the solo to Purple Rain!

Shame to lose it - but we can always do it next time.

mrkb · May 2018

I can sing on white room if needed, to save Ed having to do all of the vocals. I’m in that session anyway.

No problem, Your highly trained ears might not!

@TTony - having taken another listen to Just What I Needed I'm ok to take the keyboard part and also the lead fills on the chorus. The solo is more of a challenge and definitely outside my comfort zone. To allow me to concentrate on trying to learn the solo could I please come off Tush. In terms of the running order I would appreciate the opportunity to practice Just What I Needed on the day and wonder if it could be moved out of the first group of songs.

@darthed1981 - yes this is a Cars track

I'm singing on that one so I'll practice with you under the pretence that I'm doing you the favour.

Brocco · May 2018

@slacker - very happy to accept a helping hand from a fellow EL84 fan!

slacker · May 2018

Nice one if you are still interested in trying the friedman pedal we can incorporate that

Brocco · May 2018

Thank you, very kind!

peteri · May 2018

@TTony - can I step down from the rhythm on Tush?

On top of all the others, but I’m sorry I’m really not enjoy that and I’d like more chance to hang with the boys.

Thanks

If you have this in mind, you may be disappointed...

Which one is Bridgehouse?

slacker · May 2018

@pmbomb I've tried to play the out to lead part and sing it and i can't do it. I suggest we me for 5 in the practise room and sort out something simpler the bye bye section is a bent g to e. I think that with practice hand signals and prayers we can sort something.

pmbomb · May 2018

@slacker for sure, whatever works to have a laff. I was actually just about to post that life has been very hectic recently and practice time near zero so I can't be relied on to deliver a solo to the script anyway, so good to mix it up. Yeah something'll work out.

i know this one quite well so i normally play the short solos as is and improvise the long one. So we can stick with me on vocals and you on guitar and discuss who does what on the day. You can learn what you can work permitting with the option to improvise if you need to.

Trying to help not take over happy to just sing it.

Bridgehouse · May 2018

If you’re going by shape/profile then I’m more like the ball..

slacker · May 2018

@TTony ; looking at the vacancies, I can offer the following...

Alright Now bass
Comfortably numb bass
Signed Sealed Delivered Lead

If you need those slots filled just change the spreadsheet on P1. I'm going to learn those songs anyway as a practice regime. So dont worry if you dont need me to cover.

Brocco · May 2018

@TTony - could I please come off Teenage Kicks in the fourth set as this seems to be very well covered, and if it would help, I could play on Fortunate Son in the first set (fitting around @McToot as he is the sole 6 stringer currently down to play). Equally happy for stand aside if someone else would like to join @McToot on Fortunate Son.

@peteri and @MarkBlagdon - suggest we get together in the practice room to run through Beat It (@peteri) and the harmonised solo on Come Together (@MarkBlagdon)

peteri · May 2018

Works for me - more I practice the better!

Will try, though I’m in the first session and you are in the second, so there won’t be much time. I’ll tell Tony I’m off for a wee and sneak out early.

I'm happy whatever happens, but warn you all that I have a) not played in front of people for about 30 years and b) have not actually tried to learn a song all the way through for about the same time. I'm the king of noodlers and firmly in the camp of those that play 30 seconds of 200 songs...

I would especially welcome someone to me me through Fortunate Son... I'll be fine on the rhythm stuff but...

peteri · May 2018

@McToot - I'm in the same boat, don't worry - we'll support each other in a manly way!

mrkb · May 2018

Am happy to drum on Fortunate Son if I’m free. I know that track pretty well.

ftumch · May 2018

@TTony Any reason why youre deliberately excluding me from this?

"Deliberately excluding"???

Is that the same as forgetting to ask whether the reserves were still available to fill the places left by those cancelling - or is there a reason why I should be "deliberately excluding" you"?

@rabs - if you're free, you're welcome to come along, as discussed previously.

You know what you did. You clearly have a problem with me so why not be a man and just come out with it?

Funny how you didn't forget to ask any of the other reserves until you got to me eh. Then ask other members to come along completely 'forgetting' theres a reserve list at all!

Passive aggressive wanker, haven't got the character to even admit what your doing.

WTF ???

I have no idea who you are, or what you are talking about.

And, given your attitude, I have no desire for that to change.

Howdy, Stranger!
