The good thing about having all original songs is that people have no idea how it's supposed to sound, at first. ? And it always happens that the songs speed up when performing live, I think drummers should drink chamomile tea and have rescue drops before a show so that the adrenaline doesn't boost up the BPM ?
+100 :roflmao: You've been there, you've done that!
When the drummers stick went flying past the singer and he dropped out for 4 bars, my mate reckoned it was the best drop he'd every heard in a metal song. And that we should definitely play the song like that from now on... :?
Rescue drops and camomile tea...actually I think that's a GREAT idea. I have noticed that we speed up a bit during a set, was trying to figure out who is the guilty party - but I'm the last to point fingers, my timing is poor on a good day.
EDIT :: The sound issue that causing sily drummer to have a trickle bleed out his ear was caused by the band and not the venue. Lead guitarist kicked in his boost pedal which caused all ^%&* to break loose - tripled the volume through his and drummers monitors! Overall, I reckon the venue & sound guy were good, a step above the garage-eque holes I've played in the past (where blowing PA channels/speakers is normal).
