I just caught a video of Paul McCartney talking about how they were floored when Ringo joined, and it reminded me of this:
There was a 3-pc originals band that rehearsed a couple doors down from my house when I was young, and I'd go over and knock on the door and ask if I could hang out and listen to them. The drummer had this old crappy set, but he had taken bed sheets and put them btw his heads and the shells, and it made that kit sound great!
I actually caught an interview they did on local college radio too, one Saturday night.
So my band lost our drummer, and I ran an ad in the paper. I get a call from this guy, and I ask him if he was in any bands, he said yes, and I asked the name. He's like, "Oh you never heard of us." I go, "Well, try me."
The Vaudeville Hermaphrodites. (Yes, what a cool name!) I'm like, "ROB! It's me, Tom! The guy who hangs out with you at your rehearsals."
He comes over, we play 1 song, and right away, me Bill and Thom (yes, 2 of us) are like, FUCK YEAH! This is our guy! I'll never forget it. I think we were playing Barracuda.
Ever had that happen? What's your story?
