I wanna hear about your 'singing' experiences, did you sing in public and do badly or any other sort of humiliating experiences? Do tell. I'll start.

Once upon a time I was in a band. We rocked. But our 'singer' quit right before we had to play in front or people. Now we were performing Smells Like Teen Spirit without a singer. Can't do that, so naturally we had to find a singer quick. Surprisingly, the duty landed on me. so we played the song with me 'singing'. You think that Kurt's singing couldn't be butchered, Think again. I was pretty horrible I've heard from people. Needless to say that band broke up a few songs later.

That was my story. Now you tell.

We had a Stage rehearsel for a show we were doing. We really don't know what we wanted to do so on our bill was Transylvanian Hunger. Hahaha. It was quite funny, we started to play, it was my time to sing/growl. Anyways, the mic was shit, and I got shocked. That and I forgot the lyrics, and strained my voice all in 5 minutes. The actually performance we did See You In Hell and i spoke/sung it.

i once strummed a ukelele and sung some songs i wrote in front of about 50-ish people on stage. i heard that my singing was fine but apparently after the second song my uke was slightly off tune. that and apparently the drummer wasnt doing as well as he should have been
