Thread: Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll - If you wanna be manager, just hit me up per PM, last spot

RE Sex, Drugs Rock Roll - If you wanna be manager, just hit me up per PM,... Riggs walked into the audition room nervous for one of the few times in his life. The man had faced insurgents, enemies like no other and imminent death but this was a whole other monster. This was Riggs first time auditioning to do what he really loved in life, playing guitar an making people happy with music. Riggs spent so much of his life fighting and seeing things that guys his age just should of never seen. Before that he was living an orphans life it was safe to say that childhood for Riggs was full of rejection and while the army provided him with confidence, for some reason, he was unable to find it in this room full of people all gunning for the same gig. The stage manager came out and called Riggs to the stage, his heart skipped a beat and the walk to the stage felt like a million steps. Riggs came out and seen the promoter in his main seat surrounded by rejected applicants in the back and seated down from him was a very young looking girl who must of done something right. You could probably hear other applicants in the back but Riggs was completely in his own head back there. Rigg's army buddies told him many times he would breeze through this but he wasn't so sure. Riggs wore his fatigues not looking for any recognition just purely out of habit. AJ Riggs I've been looking forward to meeting you young man. First thank you for your service. The promoter was holding a sheet before him with Riggs Info on it. Thank you Sir. Riggs hid his nerves well but the Gibson Les Paul Studio was shaking in his hands a little. What will you be playing for me. Riggs choose The Unforgiven by Metallica for his audition song because it had a long intro and he could do a few lyrical runs and play another solo without massively changing the song. I'll be playing The Unforgiven by Metallica Sir. Well the stage is all yours and good luck. Riggs hooked up his guitar and started the intro playing it almost flawlessly missing a note at the beginning but replaying the second run the same so it sounded intentional. Then came the lyrics. New blood joins this earth, And quickly he's subdued. Through constant pained disgrace The young boy learns their rules. Riggs could see he was losing the promoter with weak vocals so he cut with a loud squeal to the base of the guitar and began to shred a solo that sounded amazing. He played for a minute straight never missing a note and nailing the improvised solo using hammer ons and long echoing notes to express the emotion of the song and how he related to it. You labelled me, I'll label you Sooo I dub thee unfogiven. Riggs finished on a long solemn note. The promoter looked pleased. Mr. Riggs or well should I say Major Riggs.. I'll be blunt the vocals are off for sure but aside from that you are by far the best guitarist I've seen all day. Please take a seat down with ummm her.. Raven no no Rachel and stick around. Riggs walked off the stage with good posture but was surprised at the fact he was being sent to where it would seem people who were sticking around were to sit.
