Metallo & MAKC
Metallo
So you’re a rockstar, huh? I like the idea of timing—precision in a riff is similar to precision in a strike. What’s the one moment in a set that you can’t afford to miss?
MAKC
The moment I can’t afford to miss is the first chord of the opener – that split second where the crowd snaps to attention and you feed that electric pulse back into the music. If that line cracks, the whole set loses its edge. That’s the point where everything rides or falls.
Metallo
You’re right about the opening. One misstep and the whole act collapses. I’d treat it like a trigger—tune the pickup, set the amp to a stable gain, and run a pre‑test. No room for error. Make the first chord a guaranteed hit, then let the rest follow suit.
MAKC
Exactly, it’s like setting the stage on fire before the curtain rises. Keep that first chord tight, let the crowd feel the sting, and the rest will just ride that wave. You’ve got it, just make sure you feel every note before you hit the mic.
Metallo
You need to tighten that trigger. Feel the note, lock it in, then deliver. No wasted time.
MAKC
Got it, lock the trigger, feel the note, and let it explode. No half‑measures, just pure power. That's how you keep the crowd begging for more.
