   I sure know how that goes. Been there far too many times, even at church, of   
   all places.

   May? No doubt about it. Ear nose and throat issues have been Plaguing me all   
   my life, and I'm sick of them!   
      
   > Egos.   
      
   Ego PROBLEMS!!!   
      
   Ego is a very good thing. It's what Delineates you as an Individual, Unique   
   person unto yourself, unlike anyone else...it Protects your own Unique,   
   Individual Personhood from being Confused with anyone else's and thus   
   misrepresented at very least, and outright Denied at very worst - what   
   Holocausts are made of!!!   
      
   But when someone decides that their personhood is *better* than your   
   personhood, That's an Ego Problem , whether the Always LAME 'excuse' for it   
   is, 'I play better than you', 'I sing better than you', 'I look better than   
   you', etc., ad infinitum, and nauseam...because it's Nothing more than   
   Sickening, Disgusting ARROGANCE!!!   
      
   > Yep.  Ego.  And a bar musician thing, total distrust that you're loud   
   > enough, being heard.   
      
   That's Stupidity! And Arrogance is Stupid. And if the Idiots would actually   
   bother to use an SPL meter in the audience area, they'd totally eliminate   
   all doubt as to their being heard!!!

   That's why I'm interested ONLY in the 'pro level' ;)

   That's what the Idiots Refuse to understand...that soundwork is an ART and   
   when Skillful sound persons knock themselves out to get everything mixed   
   just  right, they don't want some RETARDS messing up all their hard work.

   They're Stupid, that's why. They forget that the sound check is to SET the   
   levels and LEAVE them there!!!

   It only makes sense.

   I have very good hearing so I don't need high levels at all, and all I   
   Require, and it's nonnegotiable, is that I can Clearly hear Every instrument   
   (including mine) and voice (including mine) while performing.

   To me, that's being fired over being STUPID, and that's Insane!

   If they don't understand and Practice COOPERATION, how can they even be in a   
   band in the first place???
