Jason chuckles at this and quickly rushes to replace his acoustic with his electric, before returning and joining in the fun. Whilst doing this, Jason does his best impression of Eric. |

How to Disturb and Alienate Others has no chorus, and Eric uses the opportunity to sing snippets of Spinal Tap's 'Sex Farm' in between verses. While some people laugh at this, those who haven't heard of the band feel as though they're missing out on some sort of a joke. As the song ends, Eric talks to the crowd;
Eric: What a beautiful song, perfect songwritting. I mean, as complex as Infinite songs get, they'll never match the sheer sophistication of Sex Farm. It almost brings tears to my eyes when I hear it... anyways, Jason! I suppose it'd be your turn to pick a tune. |

Jason: Why thank you. I think it's time for a bit of The Aeronaut. Is that all right Eric?
Before actually listening to see if Eric had agreed to this song choice, Jason went into the introduction riff. The Aeronaut was one of the poppier songs they had written and Jason had thought that the people may enjoy it more. |

After muttering angrily under his breath, Eric manages to catch up to Jason's ferocious guitar-playing. Aside from singing harmonies during the chorus of the song, Eric focuses mostly on guitar. Freed up from his duties of lead vocals, he spends his time during the song mimicking guitarists suck as Brian May and Jimi Hendrix. Eric even occassionally mimes Jason's playing, in response to him doing the same earlier. |

Jason chuckles a little at Jason mimicing his style of play and returns to mimicing Eric, as if they'd swapped roles. To show off slightly, Jason plays the guitar over his head during the solo. At the end of the song, Jason whispers to Eric;
Jason: Howzabout we jam for a while? |

Eric: Mmm, that could definetely work. Then we could flow that freestyle song right into a Beatles song after a couple of minutes, I've been digging their stuff recently. If it's alright with you, what songs d'you know by them?
After talking to Jason for a moment, Eric turns to the crowd and says in a Liverpool accent;
Eric: It's time for a Beatles song, innit?Edited by user 23 October 2010 06:13:05(UTC)

Eric: I'm thinkin' that "Tomorrow Never Knows" would be pretty sick, since most people would be expecting I Am the Walrus (even though that song is the most brilliant thing in history). 'Tomorrow' would involve one of us to play the drums... d'you mind filling that role? Stacey's loudly telling us that Across the Universe would be a good choice, so let's incorporate that one as well.Edited by user 23 October 2010 06:18:15(UTC)

Jason: I'm no Dave Grohl.. but I'll give it a go.
Jason gets behind the drums and gets prepared. He plays a little drum roll to practice before giving it the all clear. |

Eric: Nobody can top Dave Grohl, don't worry. My drummer, Greg, bears an odd resemblance to him, though...
After playing the introductory guitar riff to 'Rain', Eric cuts away all guitar feedback as a cue for Jason to begin. He plays no guitar for the song until the beginning of the verse 'love is all, love is everyone'. During this time, Eric plays a highly distorted guitar copying the vocal melody while still singing, creating an unusual sound. |

Although Jason isn't godly on the drums, he manages to keep in time and with the rhythm of the song. Towards the end of the song he loosens up a little and starts to get into the groove of things. He imitates Ringo Starr during the song which makes a few people in the crowd titter. |

As the song ends, Eric sings a sarcastic 'She loves you, yeah yeah yeah', and bows to the audience in a very Beatle-like manner after the final note is hit.
Eric: Great job, Mr. Starr! I could play Beatles songs for fuckin' hours, but the people in attendance might get bored. Any other bands you feel like playing tribute to? |

Eric: Yeah, I couldn't agree more, I was devastated when I heard the news about their break-up/hiatus. I just hope his health will improve soon, because I love those guys to death. What song do you feel like playing? I'm more in the mood for an acoustic song, but any Reckoner song is fine by me. |

Eric: Oh, Oxygen Thief... definetely. An acoustic rendition of that would be creepy as hell, I love it.
OOC: I'm going to have to finish the rest of this RP later on, I'm heading out with some friends in a couple minutes. Sorry, mate. I'm thinking after these two guys finish playing (which hopefully won't be for a couple songs) we could make it into a live EP thing. That'd be sick. |
