Okay, Disgracelands opened (I've listened a bit via their MySpace page - link given at GDL's website - and I could see how they might not suit some people's musical tastes ), then Gareth joined them to do his gravelly singing (some call it shouting, I call it belting it out and I likes it ;D ), then James with stand-in guitarist, then trying to play guitar himself whilst in pain fom the freed-from-bandages hand. So not his best gig in the world but kudos for trying to battle through

Bless em , Disgracelands did their best , and there were quite a few tone deaf fans of theirs in ..mostly family and friends I think ;D People were being told on their way in that the support band were VERY loud , probably in case anyone sued for burst eardrums , but once everybody was in it seemed to cushion the loudness that was apparent when they were sound checking ;D Poor Jamses was painful to watch as he struggled with a very shiny pretty guitar he wasn't used to and which was woefully out of tune , along with his broken finger(s) ..not too sure if he'd damaged more digits or not as there was no mention of hitting a wall on his way to pee at the Atlanta gig , and talk of hurting himself on the set of Smallville (again : Bless him , he seemed to really want to perform well , and to give him his due he struggled on, even shouting at his finger to shut up on one occasion . I heard that he'd said during the Q&A that Gareth told him he was a guitar addict , and that not being able to play for any length of time was torture . He must have been so disappointed with himself , but everyone was most sympathetic , and at least we got to watch him dance whilst the session musician accompanied the first few songs ;D

Daft bugger. So long as he puts it behind him and gives his pandy a chance to recover.
Teebs said she liked the vibrations Disgracelands loudness made through the floor etc ;D I like that kinda thing too, even if the ear ringing is annoying afterwards.

*snort* You know you've been to a gig when your heart is still pounding to their beat an hour after, and your limbs are still thrumming... or is that the MS?! ;D

Gareth fans loved gareth's er band don't me PK but it wasn't my type of music I'm sure they said F**k a few times but the pulsing beat eased my back up because the wall was a back rest for me when they first started singing I began to laugh cause I thought they were joke singing oops I iz too inocent for that type of music James was great of corse and the young man at the side playing guitar wasn't bad as well and when James asked Lou to cut his bandage off but they let him down and told them to shut up, the fingers that is poor James
