Sound guy: "Can you play around 50% quieter? You have too much level on my mixer"
Me: "Then why don't you just turn down my mic?"
Sound guy: "Because I have it all set up how I need/want it."
Me: "Well... you're the sound guy.. your job is to.. you know.. make us sound good!?"
Sound guy: "Yeah, but I'm not messing with the settings that I have. I have many years of experience and I'm not messing with my stuff just because you can't play."

Meh... I did the whole "backstabbing" thing...
Moved the mic pretty much right on my snare drum... He jumped when we started playing

You Sir, are now fully qualified to use title Hero!

Really? Wanna know the most (embarrassing) awesome part about it? It was with the brass band.. Yep.. the fucking brass band

"I don't get why so many people tune down to drop A and then wonder why they only have one tone. But hey, it's all personal"

It's like when people say, "I'm not a racist - but" or "I have nothing against gays...". You're still a close minded douche.

"these pinch harmonics really sound great... they make the song!"

"Are you playing in Drop D/C?"

"Slow down."

"I can barely hear what you're playing with all the distortion."

"Turn down your amp."

"Do you have a tuner?"

strums an E chord
"hey this is out of tune"
"nope, that's an open tuning"
???
"it's tuned to an open G"
"ah, yeah, it's out of tune. mind if I give you a hand and tune it?"
maim, slaughter etc

Oh God, so much frustration with that. I play in Open C on one of my guitars (probably all of them, when I have the time/money to pick up strings). I HATE when people fuck with my tuning because it's not E Standard.

Or worse, when I tune to Eb and they pitch everything up a string.
FUCK YOU, I KNOW IT'S FLAT. I LIKE Eb YOU BITCH.

The thing I really hate is the way they say mind if I give you a hand with it. As if I weren't able to tune that thang just because I WANT it in a tuning they can't understand.

I only ever get that when I play in Eb, or some standard variant with a string or two different, but yeah. I know what you mean.

strumming with jazz picks, but only because i used to do it and then noticed how much better my tone was when i started using flexible picks

Guy at GC - "Yeah, I mean, I can understand having maybe like one or two distortions but really, I don't see why all these new boutique companies are all coming out with fuzzes. You don't need like ten fuzzes! Make something else, ya know?"

Me - "I own 17 fuzzes. Now are you gonna sell me this B:Assmaster or what?"


another time

Guy at show "Yeah, so basically, we're the loudest band of all time. I got this fender with 4 10s, and our bass player has this 8x10. That's like twelve tens, man. So many tens. OUR NEIGHBORS COULD HEAR US WHEN WE WERE PLAYING."

ILF fuzz bro - because there's always room for one fuzz more.
