One band we played with... their guitarist got all fucking bitchy because I took longer than 2 minutes to get my shit off the stage during soundcheck. So I thought okay, better make this twat happy, I'll put it all behind my amp on the stage. Turns out his amp was behind my amp, and so he just started throwing my stuff off the stage. What a cunt. I get that change overs need to be quick, but shit... no need for that.
I really hate it when guitarists start to load all their shit onto the stage when you're packing up. ffs...
THAT is some bullshit. One thing that's nice about Chicago's music scene right now (at least with regards to the music I play, which is like heavy rock/borderline metal and a lot of heavier stuff too) is that the GOOD bands in the city here generally have a lot of respect and love for each other. As soon as we finish a set, the next band usually helps us unload and we help them put their shit up, and it just goes on until the show's over. Instead if watching 4 guys take down an entire stage full of gear and waiting so another 5 guys can put their shit up, you have like 10 people all trying to make things easier and faster for everyone.
