Well I don't really gig much any more but when I fill in.. One big A chord, left to ring out so that it merges into delicious feedback. For that moment I feel like a rock god. Then we start playing shitty covers

I've taken to mic-checking with Somewhere Over The Rainbow. It amuses me. Back when I metalled, my bassist and I would run through Slaughter Of The Soul at soundcheck, but this was before the whole -core thing when you really had to know your metal to know At The Gates. These days my guitar check isn't anything special. I should play something specific for laughs or to reference cool rockingness. What do you bitches all do? |

Mikacheckaonetwo. And for guitar, it usually involves a descending E minor pentatonic scale ending with a showy pinch harmonic on the low E string, 5th fret. For anything else, smack it... if it makes noise, it's functioning. |

Probably a hair metal riff of some kind. |

I imagine it would be with some ridiculous Thin Lizzy riff.

it changes depending on my mood. Vocal checks recently have been, Wicked Game (whilst strumming the acoustic, I check my vox and acoustic at the same time) last week it was an odd cover of when Doves Cry. On guitar I usually pick something my drummer likes, which would be an alternative 90's tune. This week was Possum Kingdom. |

I actually learned how to play (most of) Possum Kingdom by ear not too long ago. I was jamming along with it, such a great song. |

The Toadies just generally rock shit. All of Rubberneck kicks ass. |

Actually IIRC I sent cameron a quick clip of me playing the intro through the Poulin Marshall sim. Which, btw, can do a pretty good Toadies toan. |

Personally, I just whip out whatever...sometimes I've actually gotten song ideas out of little riffs I stumbled into for soundcheck. Bandwise, we have a bit of a jam thing we wrote specifically for soundcheck purposes. |

Yus Enveno did that too... we had a minute long song fragment that was never completed, so we'd just run through it together to make sure everything sounds good. |
