lord arthur manticore, the most awesomest band you've never heard of

last night we attended the fundraiser at barcade, which i previously blogged about, and they had a competition with the video game, rock band. so, we got our awesome band, lord arthur manticore, together: fab on drums, darkpony on bass, mtvshaw on guitar (playing at expert level, no less), and yours truly on vocals. we were nervous about our turn because fab and darkpony had never played those instruments in the game, but i was pretty confident that i could handle any vocals thrown at me. well, the organizers picked each band's song, and we got stuck with stone temple pilot's "vaseline". who's ever heard of that stupid song? not me! the song started and fab was doing her best keeping up with the beats, and darkpony and mtvshaw were doing their thing, and then, the lyrics started coming fast and furiously. i couldn't keep up because i had no idea how the stupid song went. fifteen long seconds later, it was all game over. we failed and were booed off what should have been a stage. the point of this story is that the stone temple pilots suck. big time.
