You have go to way back in SL history to remember this place and one of my greatest SL honors was to open the place with the first gig played there. Some things you never forget.
Left to Right: Silky Underall, Silas Scarborough, Telia Soyer (from some time in 2006)
Make no mistake about dangerous as these beauties were heavily-armed, knew how to use their weapons, and they could easily blow your ass to Mars! It was so far back I was even still playing a Stratocaster and exactly like the one I played RL.
Major hat tip to Old Salt's Pub and it's a sad thing it went the way of many venues. This was one of the first (Cat's MusikCircus started somewhere around this time as well) to go no-holds-barred and we sure did. This part is before the pyro started in this particular show and that place would go up in flames when it did. It wasn't me running the pyro but rather Telia and she was soooo good at it. If you want something blowed-up real good, she was definitely the Dangerous Beauty to do it.
This was not the original Silas who looked like kind of a ... geez ... he was such a puke but the Dangerous Beauties designed him and he did look kind of cool but in a million and a half years I wouldn't have done it. He did look cool, tho. They saw themselves building a rock god and, sho' 'nuff, they did (larfs).
One of the best lines I heard back then, "Holy shit! Silas is playing. I'll never get a girl now!"
It was good being a god! (larfs)
Left to Right: Haroldthe Burrel, (sorry, I don't remember her name), Silas Scarborough, Telia Soyer
This is a little bit later than the one up top as Blondie Silas has appeared. We shot multiple videos together, usually with up to at least half a dozen other people. I came up with the general plan and Telia would think, hmmm, I know how to put this together and off all of us went.
Once the thought was I need a ladykiller vampire for my "Love in the Cemetery Song" which has always carried as its theme, 'if you can't find love with a vampire, you ain't never goin' find it."

Sample image is that fickle bastard Silas biting Telia on the neck.
When people saw us shooting a video in the SL cemetery and found out what we were doing with it. They lined up to get killed in it! So, for every beautiful woman in the video ... yep, they got croaked ... every single one of them. Hey, he's an equal-opportunity vampire plus they were quite a few ogres and ghouls. Do keep an eye out for the cheesy grope of Abbaca Aoi when she gets croaked. Unknown who wrote that animation (i.e. kill 'em and grope 'em).
You can see how ancient the video (circa 2006) by the primitive animations and those were the only ones available at the time. Telia was aces for finding animations and even tracked down an massively-excellent guitarist who was making animations but did not play in SL. Everything was unusual back in those times.
It was much cooler as mainstream was clear and that was the campfire acts singing hokey cover songs with acoustic guitars and not an original fiber in them. There wasn't a whole lot of karaoke back then and, frankly, they probably would have been murdered. It wasn't until later a great deal turned into mainstream and became the walking undead.
Back then when a woman staged a show it would almost always be more innovative than the campfire acts. Cylindrian Rutabaga was one of the greatest and there was zero fakery in her as she was playing RL at the same time and catching gigs wherever she possibly could. She was a consummate musician and I'm not sure why she left SL but the virtual vibe was the poorer for her departure.
