[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 80421, member: 30"] Re: Club owners are nuts..... see Photo I remember a large Christian act I did sound for once. I had been begging for weeks for a stage plot-got nothing. So the day of the gig I go setup-and we all waited and waited. Come to find out the band was 5 hours late leaving for the gig because they had to wait till the guitar players girlfriend got off work! DO WHAT? When we found that out we 9church promoting it etc) decided how we wanted to setup up the stage-choir risers-piano etc. So they finally arrive and start to unload-as the doors were opening. The band didn't like the stage setup and made us move EVERYTHING! I got a little mad and told the sound guy that if he had sent me a stage layout we would have been ready for them. HE said he faxed it to me. I asked "WHEN?". He said-are you ready for this?-Right before they left! I told him by the time they left I was at the venue with my system setup. Sure enough the fax was sitting on the machine when I got back to the office. So now everybody is running around like crazy and we never got a sound check because it was past time to start the show. When the band came on-I just about walked out on stage and decked the singer. He stopped the first song in the middle and started to pray. What did he pray about? He was praying that the "sound guys" could find the wisdom to get the system to work and to figure out how to work the system. OH I GOT MAD! Did I mention that while we were trying to wire the stage for the band-that same lead singer was pushing my guys off the stage-because he wanted to "Walk around and feel the energy in the room first". YOU DUDE- are the one that is FIVE HOURS LATE-NOT US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yet we are the ones that look bad. I don't miss those days. Sorry to rant. [/QUOTE]
