MAKING THE BAND PART 1
"Hey!What the hell are you doing?" I scream to the top of my lungs but he still can't hear me.I could see his trembling face and his hands are shaking like crazy. As the song reaches it's end,he still plays the wrong chords and play them in a shitty way to boot.I on the other hand can barely just continue to play in shame in front of the pissed crowd.

"What The Hell!" someone from the audience screams and leaves the bar.I never expected for our debut to end like this.Although we only practiced for one day,I never really expected for things to go bonkers....

"Thank you!Were The Progmented Theory!Hope you had fun tonight..." I finally said the last words with a sigh...
The crowd gives us a small and quick round of applause for respect.I can see a guy staring at us and I can somehow sense what he's thinking...
"Thank God these guys are done..." that's all I heard from the crowd...
The head of the production was sitting on a table outside waiting for us to come.
"hey guys!You did great...hope you'll come play for us again..." he gives out a weak smile and gives out a "I don't really like you guys" kind of face...

As we pack up our gear and head to the van I finally break the silence with the guys and speak out loud to them, "I think we really need to practice before doing gigs like this...don't you guys agree?"

Silence was their only reply and as we just stared at each other,I continued to pack up and the all follwed.

I wake up the next day and still have those dreadful moments flashing back in my head.I really don't know what to do next....Should I kick these guys out or should just practice more?

As I kept on thinking my phone rang and I slowly picked it up
"Hello" I answered..
"Hey dude,I'ts me...Gus" (Gus is our drummer if you really wanna know...)
"We're already here in the studio...why don't you hurry up so that we could jam longer okay?..."
"Alright I'm coming....<click>"

Gus is a great drummer,no problems what so ever...he's been my friend when I first found him and asked him to join our band.

As I walk towards the studio,I gave my bandmates a thought....
Gus is perfect with his role as drummer...
I think I do great as vocals...
Dan is okay with the bass...
the big problem lies with Johnny-No-Stars...
He's the shy guy of the group but does have a lot to show during practice...problem is,he cracks under pressure...

"Should I change him or what? these are the words running around my head...

As I reach the studio...the guys are just sitting there in silence and Gus speaks out...
"Dude...we decided....you should play the guitar..."

"okay..." I thought to myself...I could play chords while singing...but then...

"And John will be our vox....

MAKING THE BAND PART 2

"What?" I said...
"You're shitting me here right?"

But again,like they always do, silence is their answer...
"This guy can't sing!" I finally blurted...
"He can even barely talk to us..." I screamed as John was just looking down to the floor....

After a few hours of arguing...and a punch here and there...we finally gave it a try...
John sings as I play the friggin guitar...

"This kid can sing I tell you...and he'll melt your sorry ass..." Gus said out loudly...

I didn't really care...

No matter where you put me,I could play well...

Let's see if he can sing...


"I will be the one who'll melt your sorry asses" I thought,trying to remember those days when I was still a Kick ass guitar shredder...
Gus starts the count...

One...

two...

One two three...


We started to play the intro of our composition "Between Alive and Dead"...
I still remembered every single note of the song...
I was playing like mad...

Dug-dug-tatak

dug-dug-tatak...

the feeling of playing the guitar again was unbelievable...
but still I was focusing on John's singing...

"You'll be entering soon.." I shouted to John to signal him when to enter...
He nods with that dis oriented face of his...

And then we slow down as the song enters the verse..
and all Hell broke loose..or heaven to be exact...


John enters...


"Tears flow from her eyes as I...."



I dropped my mouth and even got lost with the chords as John was singing...

"OMG! HE CAN SING!" I shouted to Gus whose smiling like hell even with that black eye I gave him...

As he sings through the Chorus I could see shades of Anthony Green of Circa Survive...
He was like whole new different person...
He can hit high notes and he can even scream with ease...


Where did this kid come from?


As the song continous,I started to remember how I met the guy...

John Mark Sanchez

found him when I was looking for a 24 hour shop...
found him with his friends playing his old acoustic guitar...
He was an "Okay" guitar player...
And I was desperate...

so I told the kid to join our band and said yes...

*Snap*
I come back to reality noticing the song was already over...

Gus was laughing his ass off...

And I know why...

I looked at John and gave him a grin...

"Youre hired...again...well sort of...."
