   But that's Only IF they can actually hear ;)

   Does that mean that both the FOH and monitors have the same mix?

   Right off, I'd venture to say that if they're insisting on Louder, then, and   
   they have lots of past experience in cranking up, that can only mean that   
   they also have lots of experience with going Deaf, which means that they're   
   insisting on higher levels to achieve the Hearing Aid Effect, except instead   
   of having IN EAR hearing aids, thus Limiting the extra amplification Only to   
   themselves, they're 'sharing' it with everyone at the venue - helping the   
   audience to go Deaf because  of their own Stupidity and Rudeness!   
      
   > Spoiler alert .......   
      
   > it's because what they WANT us to sound like isn't what we sound like.   
      
   And since they're mostly Deaf, they don't know that because they literally   
   can't Hear that!   
      
   > They assume we're trying to sound like what they expect, and since we

   If they can't hear, they'll never know what you really sound like...because   
   they can't hear it, because they were, and still are, STUPID!!!   
      
   > Yeah, we don't sound like a loudass southern rock inspired bar band.   
      
   The excessive loudness has nothing to with southern rock, bars, or anything   
   else Other than the Fact that since their hearing is so Impaired, they are   
   Incapable of hearing anything that's not Grossly overamplified, which is the   
   Only way they're able to hear anything at all i.e. the hearing aid  effect.   
      
   I'd recommend they learn sign language and communicate that way...unless of   
   course, they'd also like to damage their vision too - perhaps by staring at   
   the sun, or arc welding without goggles, or maybe shining high power laser   
   pointers in their eyes, i.e. excessive light levels, because they've already   
   done the equivalent of that with excessive sound levels, and as the old   
   saying goes, STUPID is as STUPID does! ;)

   Food for thought isn't it? ;)

   Why would they even take such an approach? Are they afraid to say they   
   simply don't like something?
