[foxerbarker]

the guitar player are so cute !!!

[krabbers]

good stuff . looks like it was a good night. the crowd liked ya, thats a good start, i9 saw the blinks in 2002

[WestsideRipper]

thanks :P i wanna see blink too, but it's a shame they disbanded :(

[CloudVaris]

Hehehe... the local battle of the bands, however... I guess we got last place out of 12 XD

We had horrible stage presence...

[WestsideRipper]

hmmm last place, that's not good :P stage presence seems to be hard for a lot of bands. A few days ago i noticed that again at a bandnight in my neighbourhood. I think you must try to talk with the audience and look them in the eye, instead of watching to the stage or ceiling :P when you notice you have a connection with the audience, the stage presence will come easier :) (at least, that's what i think)

[CloudVaris]

Heh.. yeah. The singer, guitarist, and bassist in my band were pretty much... not moving at all. And it's very hard for the drummer to make up for everyone else's lack of stage presence =P

Especially considering that was back when I was still pretty shy about being on stage and everything.

[WestsideRipper]

lol yeah i think that's the most difficult thing for a band, but the problem with our band is we put more energy in stage presence than in music quality :P we make a lot of mistakes during a performance

[CloudVaris]

Much more forgivable than playing awesomely and having the stage presence of a wooden board =P

Well, the more shows you do, the easier it will get to rock out without making as many mistakes.

I think it's just hard to go from a normal practice where you don't really have to move around to getting on stage and jumping all over the place. I also think it gets easier as time goes on =)

[WestsideRipper]

You know what works for our band: run around and act like you're crazy just before your performance. You'll get hyperactive and happy and then the performance will have more energy too, it really works :P just make yourself totally energetic :D

[CloudVaris]

Gaahd, I wish my school had talent shows like THAT!

But no, they have MY band, and then a bunch of people singing to the CD player.

[WestsideRipper]

Our school too :P but this year we had some more bands :P practice some more with your band and you'll be the best act by far XD

[CloudVaris]

*sigh* unfortunately, we've pretty much hit that mark =P The other acts mostly had members from our band in them, and.. well.. I dunno. Like I said, we're the only band, and everyone else just does singalongs and stuff.

However, one kid did standup comedy... that one was pretty awesome.

[WestsideRipper]

haha cool :P at our talentnight was stand up comedy too, but it sucked ass :P

[heyhello158]

lmao i've got the same hoodie as the guitarist xD

Good cover!!! good voice!!! good performence!!!

[WestsideRipper]

thx :P

[TheMaGotT]

Haha, you remind me of the BLoodhoundgang or...well,yeah, Blink 182.

You´re not that good at all, but you know how to perform! :D

Not bad guys

[WestsideRipper]

thanks :P

[WestsideRipper]

dat vinden wij ook (bassist en drummer) :P

[CraftyBass]

bass is wrong....nd dats an easy song!

[WestsideRipper]

i know, but i think this sounds better

[florosolo]

Haha, I love the energy of your performance. That fixes all the mistakes right away.

[WestsideRipper]

thx :) that's the way we like to play, because when we watch other bands, sometimes they play very good, but it's boring to look at, but if a band plays bad but is fun to look at, we think that's better :) although we still made a lot of mistakes here >.>

[blackbunnyx]

haha heel cool rob , broer van dirk en die andere kerel ;]

jullie zijn wel goed xx

[WestsideRipper]

dankje :P

[Radix182]

mmm...honestly I don't think it's a good cover...vocals aren't appropriate...and often not in time with notes...you should practise a lot more!!!

[ryanrk0]

u guys suck

[Kenniejj]

Nice^^

[WestsideRipper]

uhm we got the band about 2,5 years, but we started playing our instruments at that time as well, so we're playing serious for about 1 year i think :)

[UnspokenAssumptions]

not bad :)...how long have you guys been playing?

[stefeggen1990]

hey nederlanders:P...kijk naar mijn drum cover van all the small things en geef commentaar ofzo..dankje:D

[WestsideRipper]

[ddidds]

Great! Did you win the talent show?

[WestsideRipper]

No :(
