Manager gives you cash in hand for the gig and offers you a residency. Now you don't have to worry about paying your rent on time. You walk off with two girls either side of you to the after party while reflecting whether you should have played the Boy George song.

People are still wining and dinning, they look annoyed by the high pitched vocal lines and heavy guitar riffs. You notice a man old enough to be your grandpa, he looks like his on the verge to having a heart attack. The manager makes a gesture for you to, “TURN IT DOWN!”.

Gig is over, manager shuts you down mid chorus and your band is ushered out by two big burly bouncers. You never play there again.

Page 11: Welcome to the jungle, by Guns & Roses

The dynamics to your song choose are far to contrasting, complaints turn towards bewilderment, and they are not sure if your a circus act or a serious band, they give you a second chance. You also wonder why you play this song.

The crowd is fed up, your songs have been too contrasting and you've now lost half your audience, the manager asks you to pack up and go home.

crowd is getting restless, they want something more upbeat

It was going well but due to the stress of trying to make the audience happy you forget the words and the guitarist messes up his slayer solo, the audience starts throwing anything they can get their hands on, next minute you find yourself waking up in hospital with a mild concussion and your supportive bass player by your side. Apparently the rest of the band is out partying somewhere.

Page 15: Welcome to the jungle, by Guns & Roses

Yeah, an audience becomes a crowd as people pack the dance floor, but during the epic slayer solo, a jealous male throws a beer bottle at your guitarist rendering him unconscious. Unfortunately you can't go on without your lead guitarist, and you cancel the gig and drive to nearest hospital.

Everything is going well, until mid chorus a man in the audience thinks your gestures are towards him. Apparently your implying that he looks like a lady!. Well he and his friends rush to the stage to initiate a fight. Fortunately a height advantage of being on stage and the bands instruments to defend yourself. You win the fight but not your fans. You apologise to the audience as you don’t have instruments left to finish the gig.

Page 17: Welcome to the jungle, by Guns & Roses

That was your last song of the night and unfortunately you blew it. You were so close to getting your encore. The audience is very disappointed with you, especially the ladies. Later you do some self-reflecting and wonder why you even play that song.

Yeah, an audience becomes a crowd as people pack the dance floor, but during the epic slayer solo a jealous male throws a beer bottle at your guitarist rendering him unconscious. Unfortunately you can't go on without your lead guitarist, and you cancel the gig and drive to the nearest hospital. It happens a lot and you consider getting your guitarist a helmet.

It was a little early for this song, people are still in there seats and you are frustrated with the audience. You try and pick up the energy in the second chorus and get carried away with your gestures, directing it at a man who is looking a little bored, I guess you were implying that he looks like a lady. A fight ensues and you use the height of the stage to your advantage and the bands instruments as well to defend yourself. You win the fight but not your fans. You apologise to the audience as you don’t have any instruments left to finish the gig.

You soon realise that you really want to hurt the couple of cowboys in the front row whom begin to shout abuse at you. Singers tend to have short tempers and a fight breaks out, cops are called and your taken away in hand cuffs.
