Proper soundcheck + mic 2 and I've never had more than 15 seconds of dead time in past 10 years.

big energy fascist would have been screaming into a bullhorn. you're losing it donny.

20 minutes to find a second mic? Or move the connection to a different input.

Sounds about right for the people Trump hires.

I mean seeing how he has probably pissed off just about every theater kid living by now it's just deserts. Nobody is racing down from the booth with a lav for this guy.

The sound tech probably didn’t have it on.

Sometimes you wind up working gigs you wouldn’t want to. Easy to make mistakes.

Probably hard to find a good sound guy that'll work for free.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

I'm sure if he asked a local evangelical church, they'd loan up their sound guys. You know. Gotta help the antichrist out.

Reminds me of a gig I had in a studio where the lead singer was a real jerk to everyone in the studio and to his band-mates, he kept berating everyone in the band, telling them to play better, and when it was his turn to record vocals, I pitch shifted his monitor a half note :-) Watching him squirm in the vocal-booth trying to hit a note was priceless.

Billy Corgan never recovered from that one.

“I won’t pay the bill for this stupid company,” he said. “I won’t pay the bill, and then we’ll have a story that Trump didn’t pay the bill to a contractor.”

If you don’t want a reputation for screwing over contractors then you should pay your damn contractors. But we all know Trump would’ve just made up a reason to stiff them even if everything went smoothly.

This is all most certainly why his mic didn’t work. Good contractors won’t work for a known dead beat. So all he can get are incompetent fools.

If there's no show at all, or it's completely ruined, then you have them cancel the bill. You don't just refuse to pay and stop picking up the phone. That's childish and we know he doesn't pay bills even when he gets everything he asked for, just more gaslighting.

Plus when I hire someone for a price and they do a meh but ok job, i pay them and never hire them again. That's how the free market works, at least in theory. He doesn't see we can't just "not pay our bill" when my internet goes down for a few hours. Normal people get fucked by that, he doesn't know what normal is. Weird they don't even realize they're saying the quiet part out loud.

No, no - "free market" means I don't have to pay, because it's free.

He never pays ANY of his bills. How many cities have ended up getting stuck with unpaid bills for his stupid fucking circlejerk events?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This is a common tactic the rich use all the time. They even hire people to contest valid charges because it often works. They are literally why we can't have nice things

It happens on business all the time as well. Huge company hires small company to outsource whatever, with the promise of more work if this project goes well, then they end up being a nightmare to work for, with impossible deadlines and constantly changing requirements.

Small company ends up underwater on the project and the guy that outsourced it gets a promotion for getting it done under budget.
