The Crucial Jamming Session

Elo

Should tell you a little about my Thursday night.

We the band C***Y did a small jamming at 11.00pm. Some of the song that I remember playing alone will be mostly short encores, but when we played together, songs listed below are our gamble.

Guns & Roses' Knocking On Heaven's Door
Guns & Roses' Don't Cry
Def Leppard's Armageddon It
Def Leppard's Hysteria
Def Leppard's Gift Of Flesh
Nirvana's About A Girl
Scorpion's Always Somewhere
RATT's Giving Yourself Away

I brought a tape recorder to record our jamming session. All in all, our timing is getting better, especially me at the drums. Timing mishaps only occur when I do spontaneous drum rolls, about 10 or more times I suppose. Guitarplayer's timing also good, except when doing guitar licks (solos)

All of us played vocals, or in details, I did the high end vocals, while guitar wiz AMMR and MRMR swapped low and mid range vocals.

The jam ends at 12.30pm. Altogether, in the 90 minutes or so we played music, the studio itself is in various ways, substandard. But as usual, we guess ourselves are on par with the studio condition, that is, substandard. The next time, we planned to jam somewhere else, crossing our fingers to prove is is the studio that is to be blamed.

By the way, we ourselves need to improve. We are not even better than most Malaysian pop rock bands for now. OK now a short band profile.
