This morning I filled in on guitar for my friend's Battle of the Bands audition for his band The Growing Room. I auditioned to be a permanent member a couple years ago and they accepted me, but I decided not to go through with it. But I made it clear that I'd be delighted to be on call to fill in for their guitarist if they ever needed it. Today was that day, and I am pretty confident I nailed it. When we were through with our set the judges asked us how long we'd been playing together, and we told em the truth, that today was the first time I'd ever met half the band. They didn't know how to respond to that. We'll hear back either tonight or by the 7th.
Tonight, my own band's playing a show, so today's going to continue being a busy day. Last night I think I had food poisoning. I feel like a badass today even though I'm exhausted. I TOLD U I WAS HARDCORE

From my experience, as long as the drum and bass are tight in a rock band, the guitarist and singer can fuck up half the time and nobody will even notice. Except singers and guitar players, of course.
Patrick:
I barely even paid attention to the bassist, strictly drums. This was a really poppy rock band, so basically the whole group is the rhythm section. For the first song, all it is is the two of us and the singer for the first verse, so that kinda set the tone for the whole set for me. Just play like it's a two-piece.

Update: we found out about 30 minutes ago that we have made it to the finals! Fuck yeah! We didn't even bring our A game. Now it's time to rip the judges a new one.

I was half-joking. Congrats mate, excellent work.
