Taking it out on the sound guy

[Greg_L]

Same as drumming, really. You just get some sticks and bang away. Nothing hard about that either.

I don't think it's the same. Drums require physical dexterity and coordination. Being a soundguy requires working ears, at least one functioning finger, and being awake.

Where do you mount the cowbell?

On the little 48 volt lamp.

and being awake.

aah . . . I knew there was something missing.

 

[moresound]

I think someone jumping up and down on my console would wake me right up! ☼

 

[Greg_L]

Being the rockstar that I am, I could easily bash the soundguys, but I'm usually very polite and respectful....before the gig. Afterwards there's no telling. I've shredded quite a few guys for doing a poor job, but I'm always right there to thank them when it's good.

I regret to say the Youtube account is closed, and I can't access the incriminating video. I'd like to see THE SHITHEAD in action.

Same here, until i kept reading and found bobbsy had inadventantly linked it via another site. For those who haven't seen it, this is what a knob looks like; an utter sh*thead stamping on a desk

I'm afraid if I was the FOH guy, *I'd* be the one arrested, and he wouldn't be able to testify (or rap) with his jaw wired shut.

 

[Bobbsy]

Nah, don't get his jaw wired. He'll need to be able to work to pay for the new Midas mixer he'll be purchasing on your behalf!

 

[moresound]

Oh and we all remember this SH!THEAD right?

Can't let these occurrences get lost to history.

 

[VomitHatSteve]

The video's been taken down.

Thus, I have forgotten him.

 

[Bobbsy]

Yeah I don't mind digital but my heart belongs to analog consoles.

I was re-reading this thread and came across this gem!

Shall I PM you my address so I can relieve you of that horrible x32 you can never love?

I don't know Bob - so far it's a love/hate affair in a win/win situation.
I am waiting on the iX16 to come out later this year though!

Most sound men deserve to be beaten and belittled.


Sincerely,
The Talent

I still stand behind this 100%.

 

[moresound]

I still stand on them 100%.

Fixed it fer ya Greg

 

[Greg_L]

Fixed it fer ya Greg

Hehe, I'd like to stand on their throats. I wish you could come run sound for me.

Getting a bunch of bad shows due to the sound guys?
Most of them work for peanuts - bottom feeders learning as they go.

 

[Bobbsy]

Yup. Soundguy-wise you get what you pay for--just like everything else in this world!

Speaking of bottom feeders, there's always those guys from weekend warrior bands who think they're Hendrix...

 

[moresound]

It never fails to amaze me that everyone thinks they can save a buck by skimping on production.
Then wonders why a show sucks.

It's hit and miss. Bottom feeders is a good term for them. Guys that do sound at the local bar/club level are usually burned out wastoids. They roll out of bed just in time to haul ass to the club to do a halfassed sound check then they vanish for 3 hours until it's time for a band to start. There are a few solid clubs here that have steady sound guys, but many of them have a revolving door of sound guys and most of them are hard to deal with. They're just a bunch of halfassed drunken flunkees. I'm gonna start punching them in the head.
