I've played with the flu, being worn down has a way of economizing your playing and those were actually some of my better performances. Go figure.
Same for me. Around 1992 I was playing death metal in an original band. We were playing a festival-type thing at a local VFW-type thing and we had 45 minutes to do our 8 songs. I was super sick and very drained...
Whew, one down two to go. They had a nice dressing room for us with our own bathroom. Two sets, thank God. Sweated like a pig, belly aching. Polluted up the bathroom a few times. Thanks for all your replies.
A good idea. The flu can get pretty nasty - put you in the hospital, depending on how bad it is.I wish I was still young. I'm 62. Still hurting this morning. I think I am having a sub sit in for tomorrow's 4 hour gig. This sucks!
