7. The Titanic
The Titanic, consist of Faust, as guitarist, Tiger, as singer, Luchs, as bass and keyboard player, and Panther, as drummer, appeared on stage.
The audience were clapping their hands and expecting to see what will happen next.
Faust was wearing a black suit with some dragon pattern on it. His guitar, a sun burst Gibson Les Paul, was slung lower than anyone.
"Look at Faust! He looks so cool!" said Lime.
"Yes I agree. I have never seen him dressed like this before." said Cherry.
"Hello everyone, thank you." said Tiger. "This song is called "Communication Breakdown"."
The song started with Faust playing a thick, heavy note constantly, it has been heavy since the beginning. It's not the bluesy stuff he used to play.
"Heeeeeyyyyy boy," sang Tiger, "stop what you're doing.
Heeeeeyyyyy boy, you'll drive me in ruin.
I don't know what it is about you but I like it a lot..."
Soon after, it's the chorus.
"...Communication breakdown!
It's always the same.
I'm having a nervous breakdown,
Drive me insane..."
"I have never seen Faust played like this before." said Cherry. "His playing is blues influenced, but it's not blues at all."
"It's metal." said Akashi.
"Metal? Then they are the first ever metal band in this school!" said Bloodberry.
Tiger sang again.
"...Heeeeeyyyyy boy, I got something I think you ought to know.
Heeeeeyyyyy boy, I wanna tell you that I love you so..."
"...Awww..."
After a strong drum beat by Panther, Faust immediately played a blistering, heartstomping solo.Everyone was stunned by the skill of Faust.
Then Tiger sang the chorus again twice, and the song came to an end.
Thunderous applause.
"Faust did it." Cherry thought while she was clapping. "He really sounds different this time."
"Thank you." said Tiger. "This is "Whole Lotta Love"."
It's Faust's heavy bit again. Thick heavy sound.
Tiger sang.
"You need coolin', baby I'm not foolin'
I'm gonna say it, yeah back to schoolin'
Way down inside, honey you need it!
I'm gonna give you my love, I'm gonna give you my love..."
A few drum beats. Then came the chorus.
"Oh... wanna whole lotta love, wanna whole lotta love..."
"You've been learning, baby I mean "Learning"...
All the good times, baby, baby I've been yearning
Way, Way down inside, honey you need it!
I'm gonna give you every inch of my love, gonna give you my love...oh"
Chorus again.
Then it's quiet except Panther was hitting the cymbals constantly. And then some soft drums sound. The stage was dark, the lights were switched off.
When a light was back, it was shining on Faust, who was playing the guitar with a violin bow. Producing a special sound.
"Wow..." Many audiences, including Cherry, was surprised.
"...ah...ah...ahah...looovvveee..." Tiger's voice and Faust guitar sound were going left to right then to left and to right and so on. Pioneering studio tricks.
A while later, some powerful drum beats and a few Faust thunderous riffs.
"...You've been coolin' baby I've droolin'..."
And later, the final part.
"... Way down inside... honey... you need..."
"Looooovvvveee!!!"
Then some heavy bits and it ended.
The crowd applaused again.
"Thank you very much!" said Tiger. "This next song is about a lady who is buying a stairway to heaven."
