I dropped her off at her house then went back home. I walked in. Brian was setting up the table.
"Bro, you're just in time. I was about to call you. Eddy wanted to have a band meeting. So him and Markus are on their way over here." Brian announced.
When they got here we all sat at the table.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Markus asked.
"So I had an idea. Why is Slipknot so famous and not like any other band?" Eddy began. "Because they have a unique look. What if we have a unique look too?" We all agreed on having a unique look.
"But like what? We can just steal a look from another band." Brian pointed out.
"Well I don't know. We have to come up with that." Eddy said. I thought for a second.
"I have an idea of what we should do." I announced.
I got a piece of notebook paper and started to draw it out and write down the ideas as bullet points.
"How about we just take some restraint masks and give them our own designs." I explained.
"That sounds gnarly as hell. I'm in." Markus agreed.
"What about singing?" Eddy questioned.
"I've worn one before. It's quite easy to talk with it on. So singing wouldn't be a problem."
They all looked at me with the "wtf" face again. Clearly questioning of why I wore one before.
"It was for a Halloween costume when I was 12." I elaborated.
We went to about 5 different stores looking for some. We eventually found some and bought 4. Given quite weird looks what just a plus. They're all a medium brown color.
Afterwards we went to Eddy's house. We waited in the dining room as he went to Alex's room to get some paint.
"Did you get a new tattoo?" Brian asked.
"Yeah, I just got it today." I answered.
Eddy came back with a box of paints.
"Maybe you guys should try doing vocals. Like singing then yelling. To see if Chris's theory is correct." Markus insisted. Eddy and I put the masks on.
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Take these broken wings and learn to fly." Eddy sang.
"All your life. You were eonly waiting for this moment to arise." I added.
They both sounded really good. Then we switched to yelling.
"I want to slit your throat! And fuck the womb!" Eddy yelled.
"I want to push my face in and feel the swoon!"
It all turned out to be perfect. We decided on what we wanted to dude with the masks and painted them
Eddy's phone started to go off. His eyes widened and he picked it up.
"Hello... Yes, this is him... Really!?... Holy shit!... No way! Thank you so much sir! This is amazing!" He then hung up. We looked at him confused. "We got a gig on Friday! And we're opening up for Disturbed!" We all popped up.
"No fucking way!" The three of us gasped.
"That's in two days! It's Wednesday!" Brian pointed out. "You need to learn 3 more songs! ASAP!"
"We should also do a cover! But what should we cover!?" Markus insisted.
"Why don't you cover When Worlds Collide by Powerman 5000? It fits your aesthetic." Alex implied.
"That sounds like a good song to play. Thanks." Eddy thanked. We all agreed on it. "Now tomorrow you guys come over at 9am sharp. We need to practice." He looked at me. "Don't worry, I put you under Will Mars."
We shook our heads okay. We soon all left. Brian and I went back home. We walked in.
