[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 98920, member: 277"] Re: Ways to annoy a sound guy I have the perfect solution for that. Shut all the inputs down and say he broke something (which he did) while acting like you are trying to get everything back on line and doing the old scratching your head and touching some knobs trying to figure out what is wrong. You could always run a little pink noise at 105db through the mains turned on when the artist throws something else to enhance the effect as well. Too bad it took the artists remaining time of the set to figure out the problem. Ahh, I figured out the problem...........The artist is a sh#@head. Problem solved. Next act. Actually I really don't have a problem with calling ANYONE out that acts like that. I worked way too hard to have the equipment I have to let some punk destroy anything unless they want to pay for it in advance (In which case everything is for sale). The one time I encountered a situation like that I cut all the inputs except my talkback mic which I then fed to the mains as well and explained that I would take my toys and go home if anything like that ever happened again. Nobody could hear anything the artist was saying but everyone could hear me quite well. We reached an understanding very quickly. This is one of the advantages you have in JV. Other than that one time and the drunk guy trying to take a leak on one of the amp racks I really have never had any other problems like that. [/QUOTE]
