    @ abhay, congrats man... my first performance was much worse than urs. aaah... broken strings! what a pity.. ;) now you have learnt a lesson... never forget it. Always keep an extra guitar or two somewhere around you while performing... I learnt this lesson the hard way too... during a DPS school competition I broke my string while playing... and that too the 4th string... We somehow managed to finish the nightwish song without me playing the solo... luckily, my friend from another school noticed this and came backstage to lend me his bandmate's guitar... From then on, I always make sure there's at least one extra guitar around... its too bothersome to change strings while on stage.

    @ dr saurabh... i guess i would have done better to play something like what you did... it felt very weird playing those songs in front of the teachers... even we had thought of playing pink floyd's ABITW... ;) pity, we had to pass our setlist through the HoD of music first.

    yeah bob. .. i ate egg rolls and had a dinner of palak paneer and tandoori parantha. . .cannot give up on food though i was having goosebumps. ..
    and yeah essi thanks for the advice .. even i learnt the lesson you need to have an extra guitar on hand. .. luckily my friend broke the 2nd string and he was on rhythm on powers , so we could complete the song. .. not many probs .. .lessons are always learnt. . .
    this was just a warp up exercise in our college itself an informal performance. . .20 days later we perform formally in a college competition here .. good that we faced the crowd. ... was a good experience. .. . .will let ya know how that goes. .. and will be posting some pics soon ....

    Broken Strings is what we named ourselves for the next two performances... now the band no longer exists... you can carry on with the heritage.

    You name will have to match the image you want to portray of yourself...

    abhay_saxena Lord of the strings

    yeah of course. .. thats what we thought. . .we oughtta identify with the name. .. broken strings seems good. . .will consult my bandmates.. . and with back to nirvana. . i think we are not much into nirvana as such so .. i don't think we would be able to identify with it. .
