my first gig was aTalent Show in high school. I played in a band that did covers of AC/DC songs without vocals. The teacher in charge HATED us. We were the most popular act tho. It sounded like shit, I'm sure, I was playing bass through a Fender Princeton Reverb(yeah, I know ). But our guitar player was killer. During pratice, we turned down, like the teacher wanted, but night of the show? "Does this thing go to 11?" heh.
