Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

I used to drink (a lot ) and gig, I always though we sounded great, as the crowds dwindled. I came to understand that was not the case. The first time I did a gig stone cold sober was a traumatic experience.

I perform sober.

As a general rule, I do.

I may have a shot or two, and maybe a beer with me up on the stage, but never intoxicated.

I have performed shitfaced. I have performed extremely shitfaced. It ain't pretty - for anyone. I owe the audience a good show. They're my boss and they deserve quality work.

Now, I have been known to give the audience a completely extra set while we were all drinking, calling friends and family to come play with us on the stage, and generally having a giant jam session that just happened to have an audience...

You can get away with that at certain times and with certain audiences.
