The 1st Gig

So after the switch in roles we practiced for a lifetime it seemed, and turned down quite a few gigs, due to nerves I rate. Either way eventually we accepted the initial/1st/power house ;) gig which was the opening act at a friend’s 16th birthday/house party.

We got on stage and the MC introduced us as "Cell Tone", and behind the scenes we had changed our name, (on the night of our first show a name change, who the F**k does that) from Cell Tone (which I found sounded too much like the device bleh) to [Dv]8.

We had 3 songs of our own which went off like a dream the crowd loved it, loved it so much that a dude actually had his shirt ripped in the pit which he then later gave to me (weird?).

Then we played the last song of our set, the song that ppl would remember us by for some time, KoRn - Blind :)

Was HUGE....

The early stages...

Ok so back to the story, it must have been around September of 2001, myself and 3 friends from high school formed a alternative band that had no name bleh.
(Oh for the purpose of this story all the ppl involved will be renamed to some wierd sh*t)

So this 3 piece consisting of drums (myself - however i was kit-less), Guitar (The big bear) and Bass (Church boy). We found another Guitarist (Yetti) who brought to the table the name Celltone.

So now we were a 4 piece with a name and no vocalist and a drummer without a kit - bummer.

Eventually early 2002, we found a drummer with a kit so i was then phased out of that position in the band and moved into the new one, the one that would change my life/lifestyle...

To settle some issues re the below debate....

Wow things are really dragging my little story along.
well anyway i took the liberty of clearing the air re this link:
http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/12-reasons-pc-gaming-is-better-than-consoles-485178?src=rss&attr=all

1. Mouse and keyboard support -- Available on PS3/Xbox360
2. High screen resolutions -- Available on PS3/Xbox360
3. Free mods -- free downloadable content on PS3/Xbox360
4. Upgradeable hardware -- difficult but no impossible on console (what u think it runs on air?)
5. Cheaper games -- debatable in SA
6. You're not tied to one online service -- unfortunate but who needs online anyways
7. No extra dosh needed for playing online -- dabatable
8. Unlimited storage space -- yes no maybe things change
9. Save game hacking -- im sorry what?
10. Unofficial fixes for older games -- wow the security of that feature amazes me
11. Abandonware -- im sorry who??
12. No red ring of death -- yeah just BSOD?

Thanks

Bangalore Challengers vs Chennai Super Kings

Ok so we're skipping about 8 years of this story for a bit so I can tell about an interesting evening with the soon to be introduced "copperman". It was a very compulsive decision to go watch the 1st IPL game in Port Elizabeth last night with "copperman", out pure ignorance we tossed a coin and supported the Chennai Super Kings, who posted a mammoth 179/4 after 20 Over’s, and they walked all over the Challengers winning by I think 92 Runs.

What a win, what a game.

Now going back the story and or journey.
It must have been May 2001 I joined/formed my first band an Alternative Rap Metal band called [Dv]8...
