Bitter Sound Guy

Pretty sure Phil Lynott didn't pretend he knew what frequencies to boost in his in ears by looking at a spectrum analyser, either.

First against the wall: tribute bands with roadies. Jesus. Just look at yourselves.

Back for one night only MUTHAFUCKAAAS

I propose 16 minute changeovers immediately, with 17.5 minutes coming into effect the following year, in line with projected inflation.

I mean, the standard changeover time has been 15 minutes/30 mins for headliners for years. Surely inflation has to kick in at some point?

I'm starting a campaign for longer changeover times.

I quite often sit here at work and think about how pissed off I'd be if I'd paid to watch this shower.

Sound Engineers: convince people you know what you're talking about with vague but meaningless waffle like "that might cause phase issues".

This band are really fucking shit.

"Is that synth on?" "Yes, it's really fucking loud." "I don't think it's on." "It is definitely on; fuck off."

If you wrote up a job description of what I have been doing tonight then It would be identical to that of a babysitter.

Have no sympathy at all for bands who complain about their onstage sound after the gig, having not mentioned it at all while playing.

Is it wrong to be a little bit happy that the guitarist's amp, that he refused to turn down during soundcheck, blew up before the show?

Classy, move opening band. You really fooled me by lying about having a 25 minute set in order to push back your stage time.

Artist significantly late for soundcheck because she was getting her nails done. Christ on a bike.

And so I head off to work the gig of another "legend". Looking forward to being patronised on first name terms.

OK I'VE LOST MY PATIENCE CAN YOU GET A FUCKING MOVE ON PLEASE!? #drummers

It just took him eight minutes to set up a ride cymbal.
