Achillies Last Stand Story...
We had a bassist come in and audition for us. He was ok, not real polished. Thought he was the shiz tho. After the audition he asked if he could switch instruments with the guitar player and jam on some cover tunes. Now mind you the Chris the guitarist is an instructor who also is a bass instructor. He is amazing on both. Well after banging thru some Billy Idol and what not (eeesh) He turns to us and says...."Ok boys, this one may stretch you a bit"
He starts the intro to Achillies (One of my favorite songs to play. He was playing it in the wrong key but thats another story) and then Chris looks at me his eyes all big as I almost drive my sticks thru my snare head on the first beat...
The poor **** didnt know what hit him...He just stood there with his mouth open. When we stopped after the about the second verse he just said....wow!
It was great
