Practice Saturday

[SteveFlynn]

Just an FYI/update thing: This Saturday will mark the start of another round of marathon practice sessions in preparation for the first Atheist show coming up in England. Of course, this means like 4 trips to the airport.....poor me.....maybe I should open up a limo/taxi service....I live 45 miles from the airport and 33 miles from our rehearsal studio.....for 4 days all I'll be doing is driving and playing drums.

We'll be practicing on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. The songs we'll be playing in order (though not our actual set-list order):

On They Slay
Unholy War
Piece of Time
Unquestionable Presence
Retribution
Mother Man
An Incarnation's Dream
And the Psychic Saw
I Deny
Mineral
Air
Fire

Tony and I will hopefully construct a bass/drum solo type thingy as well.

We'll also get together a few more times before the first show in England.....we may try to do a "secret" show here in Atlanta just as a warm-up/preparation for the Euro shows....IF time and circumstance allow that is.

I'm sure my bandmates will be adding their thoughts here as well.... of course all they do is either sing or play guitar..... I'm the only one doing any actual physical work!! ;)

Oh well so much for suprises steve-o :) Shhhhhhh !!!!

[SteveFlynn]

Well, I figured that since we publically discussed our set prior to and after our last practice...there was no mystery..... Sorry... I guess I just got a little carried away.

Ha... good one.. Believe it or not, I called that one about 30 minutes into the movie.

[metaldick]

As long as he's not to Bogged down to blog ;)

[WhoCares]

ah well if anyone cares to email me any updates/blog entries I'll throw 'em online for the rest of the hoardes to check out... same goes for photos...

[wEEman33]

So is there any kind of specific date set up for the (possible) Atlanta, GA warm-up show or are the band’s plans still too tentative at this point?

[WhoCares]

Yeah...saw that..boy word gets around eh? Funny how the internet/press works eh? I was just sort of sharing with us here on the forum and now it's everywhere....it's all good. I'll just have to be careful not to reveal any more surprises.

[WhoCares]

you're gonna have a 300 foot screen on stage with videos of "the teapot affair" ? :lol:

[metaldick]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[WhoCares]

I'm just asking to be in a world of hurt aren't I?

Fabulous idea! In fact, we can start the show with a beautiful rendering of "I'm a little teapot" from Disney and show the footage.... THEN launch into the first song.

That really wouldnt bother me seriously but I really think that should not be done at Bloodstock. The English could take offence at mocking their Tea. We could also have that comercial "we wear short shorts" for Flynn and maybe even "hungry hungry hippo" oh and maybe the trailer for Broke Back Mountain for Richard head. Oh, cant forget a Polident Commercial for Kelly.

[quigonkick]

Again, you guys make my night reading this stuff.

So how was practice?

[Thuathail]

I'm pleased to see that all my favorites are on the practice list. I Deny is an immaculate song

Now don't start mocking tea or I'll have to complain over the internet in a loud fashion ! :)
Best drink in the world. Apart from alcoholic ones. Oh, and milk. :)
