I love how confidently JQ claimed that Eddie would be lead vocals and lead guitar of CC then later said he can't sing.
Poor CC, someone get this band a proper vocalist no wonder they're stuck in dive bars!!
Preferably get one with great hair and pretty moles, maybe.
you’re SO right op, i fucking love ‘steve joining CC hcs’ because keery can SING like that man is insanely good (and i’m not just saying that because Djo was my number 1 on spotify wrapped this year…)
just… eddie walking into steve’s because they planned to hang out, but steve isn’t in the living room… or the kitchen… or by the pool…
so he decides to try steve’s room, yet, before he even makes it to the door, he hears it.
singing, coming through the closed bathroom door - steve’s voice, rough yet melodic, harmonising along with springsteen.
eddie stops in awe, leaning his ear up against the door as steve croons along.
it’s like a lightbulb goes off.
eddie knows he isn’t the best singer, but he’s the only one in the band confident enough to frontman, and the rest of the band knows that - of and when they finally draw a bigger crowd - they’ll immediately assume the singer to be the frontman. eddie - with his loud, energetic personality was the perfect choice to lead the band… too bad he can’t hold a tune.
but steve, wonderful, beautiful, angelic voiced steve, would be the perfect addition to the band.
the shower shuts off.
eddie leans against the wall opposite the door, waiting. steve’s hair routine takes longer than he remembers… he’s there for a while…
when steve opens the door, wrapped only in a towel, he jumps a foot in the air.
“jesus, ed’s! how long have you been waiting there?”
“didn’t know you could sing like that, sweetheart.”
a pretty blush works it’s way down steve’s cheeks.
“i can’t really. I was just humming along.”
eddie shakes his head, taking a step into steve’s space. his breath hitches.
“you should swing by corroded’s next rehearsal. jam with us a little.”
steve shakes his head. “nah, i’m no fit for a metal hand.”
eddie hums. “we’ll see”
it takes a few weeks, but eventually steve shows up. once they hear him sing, the corroded boys are desperate to replace eddie’s voice with his. eddie even moreso.
and when corroded coffin makes it big - eddie and steve lead the band together - a ‘front duo’. one in his usual metal get up, the other in blue jeans and a springsteen crop top.
sorry i’m on the bus rn and i felt like riffing :)
