hardheartedbill Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 hey all, just to prove I'm still kickin heres the video proof LOL
hardheartedbill Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 Marshall half-stack? Cool. Sounds great.rented backline, it was a benefit for Make a Wish foundation, I set it clean and used a barber direct drive for gain
Steve Haynie Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Bill, if you ever need a big amp behind you again let me know and I can drive something up the mountain.

I might have to invent a reason! you should hear my Tophat 112, it's unreal through the big system, like Band of Gypsys in a lunchbox LOL
Feynman Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 You rock! Nice video, good tone, excellent playing! You remain a top HFC hero.
MCChris Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Great stuff, and more fodder for my confusion as to why a cover band would need a demo CD versus a video like this that proves they can draw a crowd (ideally a thirsty, free-spending one).

MCC is right
MCChris Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 MCC is rightSo few people realize this until it's too late.
jisham Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 MCC is right So few people realize this until it's too late. A legend forms before our very eyes. Nice to see you Bill...

MCC is right But of course this was a benefit gig and I saw some young faces in the crowd. I'm guessing there were lots (if not most of the) people who were there for the benefit and not part of your regular audience. I could be wrong... I think you run the risk of raising a bar owner's expectations that you're going to have the same crowd at bar gigs or the light show etc... For example (real gigs, but not really a typical bar gig):

Impressive, but if it doesn't keep the cash register ringing, who gives a shit?

serial Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 True 100% that a good video demo is best, but we have a great one (big stage, great crowd, lights, great sound) and every single time but one that I brought it around, the club would ask for am audio cd because they either weren't going to watch the DVD or they didn't have a handy DVD player. Fortunately, we had audio CDs!I never understood the benefit of a slick audio cd but that's apparently what bars are looking for around here (if they honestly care at all). We get plenty of bookings from one owner referring us to another.
backinit Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 My 4 year old was dancing to Pour Some Sugar....I'm gonna be in trouble with this one..Still playing a lil'killer?
hardheartedbill Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 that a lil killer your hearing most of the time.we have great normal gigs too DavidE! LOL
Turdus Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Excellent Bill... I like it! Good tones outta the Strat/Tele combo.
burningyen Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Nice video! Wish we could put something like that together.
hardheartedbill Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 well, I wondered why I was shown so little, turns out the singer told the video guys that the one guy was an extra guitarist ( the lefty ) and not always there, guess they got us confused LOL
