mostly me bitchin' about stuff

pet peeves about being in bands and seeing shows:

1. "...Can you guys standing in the back please come up close here in front of the stage..." i think this is bullshit. i like lurking in the shadows when i see shows, or standing back where the sound is the best and you're not getting all stage volume. if people pay the ticket price to get in, they should be able to stand wherever they like with out some guy telling them where to stand because he's insecure.

2. "I need to see your ID..." ok lemme, put this one into context, the bouncer guy says this when you are trying to load your gear, off of the sidewalk and into the club whilst holding an amp in each hand and trying to manuever the door open with your feet. then you're usually like, "ok hold on a minute" and the bouncer guy gets really asshole-ish or hovers over you, not offering to help with anything.

3. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...." that's the sound of feedback coming through the vocal monitors for the entire first song of the set.

4. " how much is your cd... $5... i only have $3..." yeah but the cd costs $5...
