We ride together

"It's not about showing off how well you can play your instrument—if you want that, you need Power Metal, a genre composed almost entirely of hairspray addicted middle aged men who can't tell their guitars apart from their penises, and masturbate with both constantly."

"Just play that riff for me, Strings, would ya?" I spoke into the microphone.

The stage was set, the lights were rigged, and Roadie was chatting to some mare.

Strings grunted and began to play a simple riff.

The music carried around the hall. Dash had been rehearsing a flight routine  for this particular song.

I watched as the chromatic mare loop-de-looped around the hall, flying over the vast emptiness.

"fucking hell Dash!" i chuckled during a brief interlude.  Vinyl continued the drum solo.

I watched as Dash bounced off the walls. "heh... pinball wizard" an idea had struck me, much like thor's hammer struck loki.

"guys, lets stop here for a moment" i grabbed a bottle of water and took a swig.

i then began to play a few chords. slowly remembering how this all happened.

it was the final leg of the tour, Canterlot stadium. I chuckled at the irony. if you'd have told me i'd be part of the biggest thing since the Beatles, i would have slapped you.

but now?

the first show

Sweat dripped from my nose, we had just finished our set and the fans screamed for more.

"heh, Shall we give them what they want?" I grinned, all simply nodded.

"BUCK YEAH!" Strings shouted. we took the stage again.

I ran behind the microphone with a bottle of whiskey, downing it and signing it, i threw it into the crowd. Pinkie took the stage as a surprise. I acknowledged her...

and brought her an accordion.

"hah, couldn't get enough of us huh?" i chuckled into the microphone. the crowd cheered.

"just remember, its a long way to the top... IF YOU WANNA ROCK AND ROLL!"

I took a quick swig of the cider bottle and rolled it off stage, then began playing the riff that would define the night.

the ponies and griffons where jumping for joy. the Griffons threw up the devil horns, the ponies went wild.

It was Legen- wait for it.....
