_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] This relationship is getting [A] deeper.
The [Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ jamming was like putting pieces in a puzzle.
_ And [Eb] for me, it was just [Bm] happy, it was calming.
I [B] clearly understood what they were doing.
[Fm] Not just the pattern, but with the tone, [Cm] with the musicality, with [Abm] the energy [Bm] and all that.
The equation [Dm] just hit me.
It just felt great.
[Eb] _ _ _
[C] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Gbm] _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] Mike has a great [B] way of eye contact, [Am] connecting with everybody.
Like you said, listening.
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
And I thought what was cool [Cm] about what he did is, he [Eb]
made us feel comfortable.
He played fortnoise [Gb] parts, [Ab]
but in the way that he played them, not only were we comfortable,
[Gb] but he was accenting different things, maybe [Gm] a little bit [Ab] more here or there.
[Eb] And it didn't throw us off.
It was just like, wow, [Gbm] that's so [Ab] cool.
It made me feel like he had a really strong awareness of what each one of [Dm] us was playing.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [A] _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[B] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ [F] _
[C] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [C] _ [B] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ Thomas is a [Ab] freaking powerhouse.
[G] Oh my God, man.
[Gb] _ _ _
_ [C] _ [D] _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _
_ [Gb] _ I personally [C] love Thomas' interpretation.
I love the way he took the songs, and especially during the [B] jams,
and he was able to just infuse his [A] style right into it.
_ [Gb] _ [C] _ [Ab] _ [Gb] _
_ [C] _ [Ab] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ I didn't really have a lot of time to _ prepare physically,
but I've had a month now to just run it through [A] my head. _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Ab] _ [G] _ _ My background, I mean, I'm known primarily as an extreme metal drummer.
And honestly, metal music was probably the last form of music that I fell in love [C] with.
Derek, he had a couple of things that were pretty [Em] incredible.
His blast beat is, [Ebm] I've never heard anything like that.
[Dbm] _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D]
Trying [C] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [C] _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [A] to play a [Ab] piece like that first time [B] through, _ you know, [Am] it's a big call.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [B] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Ab] So that is almost like this anthemic, [Bm] epic kind of thing that is very [Eb] long.
So [Dm] that's where you can really feel out if [Eb] the musician did his [B] homework, first of all.
One interesting [Dm] thing about Marco's [Fm] playing for me was that as I was playing,
[C] I couldn't help but [Ab] smile.
It [B] was almost like I had to [C] laugh.
_ [Gb] _ [C] _ _
[N] _ [C] _ _ [Eb] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [C] _ [N] _ _ I was [C] speechless watching this guy.
He [G] was absolutely phenomenal.
A phenomenal [Ab] drummer. _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [C] _
_ _ That's one of the things [Gb] that really stood out to me,
[Eb] the level of musical joy in the [Gb] [Ab] man's _ _ playing.
[Cm] You give energy to the people, [Abm] people will bring it back.
And that [G] is fantastic.
That to me is [Dm] success. _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [C] _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ Obviously, _ he had learned all the songs, [Am] so you know he put the work into [G] it.
He played them really well.
He [E] played them [A] great.
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I think [Em] it's a little bit different when you are [F] playing in your practice [C] room.
[Fm] [B] And I did some mistakes, [Db] of course. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Db] _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Gbm] _ [Db] _ [C] _ [Ab] _ [Gb] _ [Db] _ [C] _
[Ab] _ [Gb] _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Ab]
I was chosen to do the audition for Green Theater because I play on the [C] _
[D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ new_
Both for the jam sessions and also for the songs, it really felt like we've [Eb] been playing together before.
And that really felt almost like a concert.
We could have walked on stage and played those tunes just [Bm] like that.
Flat out it would have been unbelievable.
