Fully charged

Determined to sever his connection with his bandmate, the bass got a friend, a crew member, on the promise of taking the lead’s place, to connect, accidentally, the lead’s guitar strings to an on-stage high voltage lighting circuit. The lead had a speciality, his party-piece, playing his guitar with his tongue in the middle of a riff. Charged with 1000 volts, the high note he reached was a record. And the stage rocked.

The bass was charged too. Murder One. Number 1 again! Final performance was electric! He sat it out.

The only thing discharged was their contract.
