Here's a new motivational poster for the stage floor

Speaking of the bass to loud thing, I have witnessed this and it sucks every time. For some reason the FOH guy wants a metal band to sound like rap or some shit and burys the guitar in the FOH and makes the bass and kick retarded loud. Fuck that shit.

Yeah, sucks, but that wasn't what I meant I was talking about the morons who get themselves seated in the worst possible spot (I mean, if you're positioned so you can't see the band or the PA speakers' fronts, you really think you're in a good listening position?) and complain about the sound while it's good where most of the people are.

Same with people at the first row, who get plastered by the backline, monitor bleed... and maybe a tiny bit of the PA if they don't stand dead-center.

Ha, yeah there's a big venue here, where the VIP area is around the corner behind the stage. Pretty much the only thing you can hear back there is the stage-right wedge and a bit of the drummer's wedge. I've had countless cool-guy managers come up and complain that the sound sucks when they never came FOH the entire night.
To Chryst Krispies, the night I had that up, all the cookie monsters were actually friends of mine, They read it from the stage and had a laugh about it.

here's my next one

Can you blow this up so I can frame it & hang it on my studio wall?

 

[Glenn Fricker]

The FOH guys were just retards for multiple reasons: They refused to use compression (according to the sponser of the stage, a local studio in my area)

Please don't refuse to use spell check.

Fair enough. Just wanted to point out that some kids are just inexperienced and don't deserve ridicule right out the chute for their ignorance.

After that though it's open season.
