I was the sound guy that night at Oasis....still all YOUR fault dude. My cables were top notch. Made them myself.
Underrated comment
Silas Cousteau lol what?
He was a teenager at the time, give him a break
Lmao "made them myself"
(not actual sound guy, people)
As somebody that actually does sound work, it really does blow my mind how many people get a gig as a sound guy and don't know anything about what they are doing. Honestly the best mentality to have as a sound guy isn't "It's never my fault." It's "How can I fix this." If you are just flipping the band off then you are about as useful of a sound guy as I am a theoretical physicist.
I think it’s time to get Subway Rocket back together for a reunion tour
EDAR96 frying amps and not getting paid back on tour!
And sponsored by Subway - the corporate sandwich shop! New sandwich, "The Rocket"! Ask for it by name!
@@devilsdoorbell "This our newest song and it's called "Frying amps".
Had to share this memory ... I too was 17 ... playing in a dump called Club Donna in a tough neighborhood ... with 3 older dudes ... a guy walks into the bar ,,, finds his wife with another guy sitting at the bar ... pull out a 45 and shoot her in the hip and blows her off the stool ... the owner turns to us on an elevated stage and says " Just keep playin' " .... I quickly throw my axe in my case and run the hell out of there .... never got paid ,,,, never went back ... but I did write a song about it ... this in 1965 ,,,,
Good story grandpa
Okay... cool... story...
Dude what band was that?
r/thathappened ?
Holy shit! Crazy I would’ve hauled ass too !!
Its an AmpliFIRE...get it :)
Badum tiss
Dibs on that band name!!!!!
men, YOU ARE A GENIUS!
No
Most terrible shows come from terrible sound guys. I feel your pain...
Brandon Carson so damn true!
Ahahahaha, that's a "sound guy" (to call him that is a insult to every live audio engineer out there doing a decent job) from hell, that's for sure.
Satan himself
I am a live sound engineer in Nashville. As soon as you said that he was going to DI from your power amp I had to stop and collect myself lol
you can do it with a Radial (and other) DI. I've done it in the studio a few times for super dry distortion sounds. It also could not cause a solid state poweramp to catch on fire. It was probably the "Crate" Logo that did that.
"guitars becoming very fuzzy.... and I don't have a fuzz pedal"
haha man that sounded terrible.
Thanks for sharing. Its fun you can look back on it now and laugh... and metaphorically give the sound guy a middle finger.... maybe literally too.
that reminds me!
I play outdoors every night, in tourist cities along the NH seacoast, so people from all walks of life are walking by me, doing my artsy Guitar Sorcery, but the police STOLE all my gear and instruments on several different occasions (!!!) because they can do anything they want and the press and ACLU help them.....and my ONLY guitar was my pink Flying V (3/4 size), but when I had to replace the low E string, the metal thingy in the back of the guitar that you thread the new string thru.....[cuz the strings go thru the body].....it's like a thimble........had somehow fallen out and no way could it ever be found. AND NO STORE COULD REPLACE IT, cuz it was 3/4!
So I had to tune it up and it would squeeze thru the WOOD tunnel (since the metal thimble was gone)....and WHILE I WAS PLAYING........the low E would drop 3....4 notes! And i'd have to quickly try tuning it up WHILE i'm looping (!) or doing trippy long echos (so I gotta make each mistake "musical", ha ha), and it would ALWAYS drop down again and again and again and I'd have to avoid that string (!) with customers walking by me the whole time! (You piss just ONE person off, and they'll call cops on you!)
But I'm used to crises, so....
Worst gig was my second show ever. My band played with a very egotistical local band who's members (minus the singer) where in a prior band that did a small tour. Sound check was good, but come show time I got no signal cause someone shoved the speaker cab input jack down into the cab. Don't know how the screws all came loose. I think they were pissed about having to open for us, cause we soundchecked first and it was all good. And somewhere between their soundcheck, their set, and the start of our set, my stuff for tampered with. Our singer got really hammered by the end of our set and desperately wanted to be in the band that opened for us, so between every song he kept rambling about that band being so great. To the point where we just started the next song in the middle of him talking. I quit the band a month later. Not my idea of a good time. Haha too much ego for local nobodies. I just wanted to rock out and have fun.
Damn, so detailed even after over 20 years. Scares me, because I know I'll remember my worst gig in full detail 20 years from now too
My first band played an outdoor cook off in Atlanta in 2013. We drove three hours from our home town to make the show.
We started loading in, we got everything on stage and took a real quick break so the sound guy could fix a few technical issues.
My drummer ran to the vehicle to grab his sticks, he came back with a look of horror on his face "I FORGOT MY STICKS!".
Now mind you, there are no music stores around, we don't have time to leave and come back, and we are the only full band on the bill. Absolutely no drum sticks in sight.
He proceeds to grab small branches and tree limbs, we go on, we play the show and it ended up being an epic gig.
Moral of the story, use your surroundings in a time of panic. Alternatively...always make sure you have a back up for everything! 🤣
I was booked to play a RESTAURANT show (??!!!) which is the worst gig you can get. It was a variety show (mostly comics), playing to a room of ppl there to EAT, NOT to watch a show. (Uh oh.) My 4-song set is just me on vocals and electric guitar. So many venues lack proper DIs that I would bring a BACK UP PLAN: an XLR-to-1/1-penis that looks like a gun silencer. Worst case, I'll put the guitar into the MIC cable, and sing a Capella over it!
THE SHOW IS PAINFUL, as each stand-up comic BOMBS in front of the audience who are not there to watch lame comics.
BEFORE MY SET WE DISCOVER THERE IS NO WAY my guitar can be put into the PA. (Wireless mics mean my backup xlr won't work!) (Etc) FUCK!! Well luckily everyon else has bombed, so....what have i got left to lose? LET'S GO FOR IT!
I Put my super-cool silver X guitar standing up onstage and say "ladies & germs, you will NOT be hearing that wicked guitar tonite!" etc, and so I tell them, I will have to "DESCRIBE" the 4 songs they will not be hearing! And my set KILLED! No one (including me!) had ever seen anything like it. (My songs are clever, so Describing them was guaranteed to please any crowd.)
I love it when you go to sound check and spend the time it takes to get everything sounding great. Then time for your set, you cant hear a damn thing. And spend the gig watching the drummer during changes to make sure you and him are on the same count.
Bro I was in cage!! Thanks for the smoke show and the $100.. helluva night. 🤣🤣🤣
No destroyed gear, but my old band once played a show that was recorded through a single mic...in Audacity...in someone’s living room. Then uploaded to TH-cam where (unbeknownst to us) the end of the video featured some guy pissing in a urinal.
Moral of the story, watch the whole video before you tell your family to check out your band on TH-cam.
Nate Peters how do you get the strings in ur name?
Alexander Shaer it comes with the Riffs and Beards membership
Hahah. That EXACT thing happened to me in 1995 at a show in Las Vegas. I had an Ampeg SS140 and it ended up literally on fire. No pay and I had to get my amp repaired 🤣
That is insane!! That shitty sound guy should have replaced your amp!.. love the band name tho!
I LOVE this segment. What a great idea. I just found your channel. Thank you for the inspiration!
i use a crate glx 2x12 combo pushing a 4x12 cab. simple built in fx no pedals. 15+ years reliability.🍻
not long ago I played in a bar and this sound guy said: because you're alone you don't need a Soundcheck.
Then he miced my amp up and I startet playing (I was the opener). I've heard a lot of bad miced up concerts but that was the worst! no highs and too much bass. The monitors were not plugged in, because this soundguy thougt, that my amp was enough monitoring (it was a Fender Mustang 1). that was my worst concert (also I forgot my setlist and had to imrovise xD)
My new band's first ever show at the end of 2017 started with our Bugera 6260 blowing a fuse 30 seconds into our set. Luckily was able to borrow a fender combo and a distortion pedal from one of the other bands to finish the set. Replaced that head with an EVH 5150iii LBX immediately after and haven't had a problem since.
I once had a stage hand throw an open water bottle off stage...and into my amp. Dumped all over the chassis through the vents. As I was cussing him out he looked at me and gave me the “oh well” shrug like he did no wrong. Thankfully the amp somehow still worked just fine after. Then we went on to stage and had a sound guy from hell as well. Absolutely no audio in our floor monitors, but would keep repeating “I can hear you just fine out here!”. We would’ve relied on our amps but he kept telling us to turn the amps down because they were too loud and overloading the mics. We couldn’t hear shit other than our drummer. So...we played awfully...at a fairly big festival...with a whole film crew because we wanted to have pro shot videos to post online. After the “pay to play” tickets we bought, and the film crew, we dropped about $750 in total to play the worst show anyone in that band had played.
Oh boy let Glen Fricker hear this! What a horrible sound guy.
plot twist: it was glen
@@joel.website maybe he just really didn't like them
I didn’t know your name is on the back of earnie ball strings that’s pretty sweet
My worst show: I had to perform without a strap on. I struggled to keep it up the entire night.
Settle down buddy.
Jesus that makes me second hand mad at that sound guy
Same here, I would beat the fuck out of somebody for that.
I love this new format! Keep em coming brah! Cheers from Italy
Oh man, I'm looking forward to this series.
This happened to me in the studio. The engineer insisted that we DI my amp through the Pre amp out. So we tried doing it his way and then I said that we should 100% mic the amp. But my amp didn’t catch on fire. It just sounded like shit.
mic your amps kids!!!
Tip:
Amp FX loop out > buffered pedal > di input > do thru goes to amp FX return, di output goes to PC audio Interface
Thats how I have been recording my amp in the last months, later throw in some cab impulses, works gr8
@@renanterezan9922 Not all amps have an effects loop...
Yeah that sucks sorry that happened to you man you made it out on top at least thanks for sharing
“Sound guys” amirite!?
You're a great storyteller! Enjoyed hearing the whole story 😀
Great story, and great idea for a series!
I had a similar experience with a so called "sound guy". I set up my rig, including my microphone at the right place, and the guy comes with a jack asking my where to plugin to get my guitar. I tell him - my guitar comes out of that mic, need a mic cable - the response:
"- Thats just gonna create feedback, you're crazy!"
Long story short, end of the night everyone in the crew congratulated me on my sound and wanted to learn this "new thing" of capturing an amp with a microphone. A 15 year old kid with some gear knowledge who had just started playing live (me, I've been a gear nerd for some time now) had just schooled a crew with years on the road. I guess they were on the wrong road for most of the time...
Oh god, the amp dying is one of my worse fear on stage.
I’d get more freaked out if I were to f$ck up or fall over and look stupid. If the amp were to fail, it wouldn’t be my fault but ya it would be scary😂
Always have a backup. I carry an Orange Micro Dark terror to every show I play just in case.
Sucks!!!!!
I once was doing a huge outdoor festival. Just bought a Peavey Windsor. After 3 songs on a 12 song set the fuse blows. And of course I didn't have any spares so what to do? I just happened to have an old DigiTech rp350 so I plug into that, unplug the mic' on my cabinet and plug it directly into the pedal, turn on the amp and cab simulators and finish the show. Surprisingly it sounded good through their massive p.a. 😃
What a genius this "sound guy" was. Also Subway Rocket is a pretty dope name. 🎶😎🎸🔥🎶
Awww man! It's sad but... funny! Coz' it happened to ALL of us! 😂
Obviously you were able to move past that, but man my heart just sank for you at that moment. Kudos to you for being able to drive on!
Nice story. I need more gig knowledge for when start playing out there.
That reminds me of our only local "sound guy" when I was in high school bands. One show he was supposed to run sound at a local rec center, it's 45 mins before showtime, he's not there (and this was the days before cell phones), so I run home and grab my humble PA so there's at least something. I get almost set up, he finally shows up, insists on setting up his PA (crappy Gemini DJ speakers with a row of tweeters on the top) when I had decent Carvins. But he just kept saying "mine have limiters!" Fast forward to him trying to put a CD in his CD player for pre-show music, and I watched him for 5 minutes putting the CD in upside down. Taking it back out, looking at it, checking wires, then putting the CD back in upside down. I didn't say anything cuz I was pissed at him by them. Finally someone else points it out to him.
Funny same thing happened too me with a line 6 head the ohms were off and it caught fire
My dad has 2 Subway Rockets. One black and one of the wine red or ox blood. Whatever the color is called. Whenever I go home for a visit I always jam through it. They sound really good I think. I want one!
That reminds me of me playing a school concert last year....I was playing to let's say maybe 50 people(I don't really remember) and the only sound check we did was like one hour before the event.... So we had to do everything fast and because the other 2 small amps we had didn't do the job for that big room I was playing the engineer had the idea to plug my digital effect pedal directly to the PA cause there was no other way....Once I played the speakers where fuzzing even though I didn't have the overdrive on so he turned the volume down on my lead channel.....Fast forward to the moment when we were playing....When I was playing a solo I switched to the lead channel and no guitar sounds were playing through the speakers
After the event ended I found out that this guy turned the volume level of that channel to 5 and I asked why did he do that and he said (I'm really sorry,I was focusing on the other instruments and I completely forgot about that).....So ironically (as of the video)he gave me a guitar cable and I ended up forgiving him.... The guitar cable worked well for one year but it broke 2 months ago because I used it in a lot of different places so it was over used by me 😂
Can you explain hot to diy your sound panels ? look good
great story Fluff
I don't think anyone could ever top that "level" of a gig, man. Hey, at least you had a slight opportunity of getting paid... LOL!
Hey Fluff I also started out with a shitty Crate amp too. It was a 15w gx15 or something like that. And now my rig is a Engl Savage 120 paired with a Carvin Legacy cab and it slays! My worst gig? Probably last weekend's show the acoustics at this dive bar were terrible. I couldn't hear anything! They had monitors too and they werr off...... Or broken......
Maybe this dude double-dipped duties for a pay increase...sound AND pyrotechnics?
Nobody Nancy Kerrigan’s our Fluff while he’s in the corner!
Einar Freberg how did u get the Ernie ball strings in your name?
Alexander Shaer Have I accomplished that? That is a new one on me! Have you seen that somewhere? If so, let me know, friend!
@@alexandershaer1079 Hovering over it, it pops up "Member (1month)." I would assume it's just an icon indicating said membership.
Edit: Just verified, yup, it's a badge for membership to Fluff's channel (top link in description).
It wasn't even my worst Gig when one of my two GallienKrueger 400 RB went on fire. And it wasn't my worst Gig when the second GK 400 RB started burning. And it sure was not my worst Gig when the first one, after an expensive repair, went on fire, again.
After that I changed to GK 800 RB and never had this kind of expensive special effect again. All happened back in 1981.
My worst Gig actually was some "Rock against Fascism", when we did a 5 songs set beeing the only metal band, and the Drummer played the first song so fast, nobody noticed that we played it a second time as the crowd demanded an encore.
Imagine playing "Warhead" of the Band "Extreme", twice as fast as given.
Actually I had a breakthrough, live on stage, three times in my career as a bassplayer. Three times I literally broke through a poorly built stage. Now, this was fun, every time it happened...
It’s a right of passage for every gig and musician to have at least one show like this
OH LORD JESUS THERE'S A FIRE!
My worst gig ever was when we showed up to a venue that we don’t like playing for a number of reasons. There were 3 bands and for some reason we end up playing after the touring/headlining band. As the night progressed the sound guy continued to get more angry and rude for no reason. We just went about our business without too much thought. He interrupted the touring band several times to tell them to play quieter because it was “too loud.” by the time we were playing he had already interrupted during the first song because we were apparently “too loud” as well. We agreed to try and play quieter, within reason. Our singer/rhythm guitarist even went and grabbed his acoustic guitar from his car because his amp was too loud. After the next song the sound guy throws a dirty towel at our drummer and says “here! For your snare” He reluctantly agrees to put it on , but the towel falls off within seconds, and he interrupted a few more times before making us stop halfway through our set. While apologizing to the audience for not being able to finish, he unplugged the singers mic and my amp after trying to take the sticks away from our drummer who wasn’t playing anything. He then picked up my amp as if he were going to take it somewhere. We had been polite and cooperative up until the point where he tried to take our drummer’s sticks away. When I saw him carrying my amp I lost it and told him he’d better put my fucking amp down and never to touch any of our equipment again. He’s no longer the sound guy at this venue, and we are playing there again in 2 days. Hopefully things will go a lot smoother this time around.
Pro (well amateur) tip: Don't sit your Crate combo amp on an empty beer keg for elevation. It sounds like you're plugged straight in to a 6 foot by 6 foot cast iron reverb plate. Basically, the exact thing that sounds absolutely horrendous for thrash metal.
I am a student at school of rock and I have seen many stage disasters happen over the years but the worst gig ever was our Queen show. I wasn’t actually involved with the gig but I was in the audience. The set in general was pretty sloppy but the worst song by far was good old fashioned lover boy. During rehearsals the band had decided to move the song a whole step higher in key to accommodate the singers range but the keyboardist was extremely unreliable and he never learned the key change and instead just transposed the keyboard software. After that rehearsals went well and the song sounded fine but the morning before the show the keyboardist finally learned the key change but he never told the tech so the keyboard was still transposed up a step meaning that when he played the song it was ANOTHER whole step higher. The rest of the band had no idea what to do and no one transposed correctly so the song was in four different keys at the same time and was absolutely horrible.
Dude, had same experience in the 80’s. HAHAHA! Poor young Fluff invented the “Amp-Li-Fire”. Lol Cheers Fluff! Dues paid, Brudda.
You should have gotten whatever the sound guy was paid as compensation
I don’t like lying, but years ago I had a sound guy ask to use the line out of my amp. The other guitarist saw the look on my face, caught on to the situation and told the sound guy “yeah, his line-out doesn’t work”. Sound guy didn’t argue at all and mic’d it up.
Ok , well my worst gig wasnt that bad after all.
Great idea!!!
I was only 18 playing a kegger setup on a large elevated wood porch overlooking a bunch of drunken college students. Unknown to me during a break, they moved a huge cooler filled with "PJ" up onto the stage. Well, with a pole mounted bright light that lit up the entire porch blinding me I backed up and fell into the cooler. Got the best applause of the night and was bleached purple for 2 days. Also the hot chick I landed later puked on me. What matters is my Explorer E2 was not injured and I still play it today....
Who else got the nail the mix commercial? 🤣 it was amazing and I clicked it away by accident
my worst gig ended in a really huge drunk dude stepping on & breaking my strymon big sky. dude stumbled off before i could even find him. didn't even get paid. it's still broken & not replaced or fixed. :(
Think the worst gig I endured was in PDX, that morning I got a texted from my Dad that my Grandpa had passed away, which was fine because it was something we knew was gonna happen soon. The Band drives up 100 miles to this little Fish n Chip shack, dude shows us the little ass room where we're playing, says our gfs have to buy drinks (water even costed) if they wanted to stay in for the show. No one but the person who booked us showed up, the other band who was after us didn't even come in and listen to us or anything and on top of it. We didn't get paid...needless to say: That project isn't a thing anymore cause we got so discouraged after that show. Go watch the opener if you're at a show, they need support just like the headliners.
Damn, that's a tough story... I'm really glad that I so far always had soundguys who knew what they're doing.
And the sound guy was probably Glenn Fricker xD
With how you started this video, I thought I was going to get a stern talking to.
wspeed657 lol
Worst gig... playing in a Guns N' Roses cover band lol
When I was in high school, my band was playing all 5 songs we new in a garage at a birthday party. A drunk girl came up to my mic and kept saying she wanted to sing a song with me. I was 15 she was easily 30. Well I guess her also drunk boyfriend didn't like this and pulled a gun on me. No joke. He forced her into the car while pointing a hand gun at me then jumped in his car and sped off..best show ever.
This story gave me compassion rage
Hey Fluff! 2 things. You made this video unlisted, so I don't know how I was able to see it. Also I'm planning on getting a new amp soon (my first amp purchase besides the practice amp I have), and I have about 1000 bucks that my 13 year old self can afford. I would prefer a head and cab setup. (if 1000 dollars can buy one). I have a couple of ideas in mind: A helix stomp, a magnum poweramp and whatever good cab I will also be able to afford. Maybe a Peavey 6505MH, a boss katana 100, a marshall origin 20, or a quilter labs 101. I also will need to buy a cab with the money I have. If there are any other options please let me know. Thanks Fluff. Especially if you read this entire comment.
Doesn't seem to be unlisted to me.
Options are endless and 1000bucks is quite some money. But I think Katana 100 is safe option and save the rest of your money for later on ...
Go for a used Amp. With 1.000 bucks the options for a good amp and a 212" cab are unlimited - when you're based in the USA.
I had a hardcore / punk band in HS. We were banned from a few venues, we didn't take anyone's shit and usually it was for pay disagreements. The first time this happened we got into an actual fight with the owner and his crew. This was the second time we played at this venue and things were fine the first go around, so we didn't think much of it. The second time we played there, they tried to pull a fast one. During our set, they kept bringing us drinks from the bar without us even asking and they kept coming regardless. At the end of the night when it came to getting paid, not only did they not pay us, they said we actually owed them money for all of the drinks. That didn't go over well, especially since we were the reason the place was packed (for a second time) since we headlined and did most of the promotion. Shouting turned into shoving and shoving turned into violence. Thinking back this was hilarious because they were a bunch of middle-aged+ dudes trying to rip off and start something with a bunch of 17-18 year olds.
I suck at sound guy stuff. What is the power amp out and why did it burn your amp?
It's the entirety of your amp's power going out. It should be plugged into a cabinet with a speaker than can handle the load. Who knows what circuits the load was actually going into. The amp not having a place to unload it's load (haha that sounds bad) means it overheats and kills itself because the power has nowhere to go. It's like emptying a water tower into a water bottle with a small hole drilled in the bottom. The water has nowhere to go, because the tiny hole can't handle enough water
@@Dudeitsmeee ahh I think I gotcha. So basically it's to-cabinet only and nothing else.
@@mattmanbrownbro Yea a speaker that can handle the load without blowing out. Something any competent sound guy SHOULD know
Damn, and I thought I had bad gigs. RIP Fluffs old amplifier
more of these
Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!! Omg, the middle finger!!! Yo, I'm still laughing out loud!!!
Wow brutal. Great story. :)
I'm surprised the whole board didn't catch on fire...
My worst gig was the time all the members of our band decided it would be a good idea to eat shrooms before the show. It took me about 20 minutes just to hook up my pedals and tune up, and later on in the set I pissed myself lol
You find that Crate amp again and do a review 🙂
I got so drunk I feel of my drum thrown . It was Fourth of July an the bar was dead at first . It filled up though , oops hitchhiked home don’t remember how I got my drums back
Sadly that's still how most gigs go for kids now, I've had other bands break my guitars before I go on, sound guys ruining my amps and blaming it on me because I was young and thennnn not getting paid or reducing my payment to something like £10 when promised more
And why didn't you fight the sound guy?
I was waiting to hear how the sound guy got fired for incompetence. I feel disappointed.
I had literally just watched @csguitars video about this very thing. I admittedly haven't used any tube amps myself so I wanted to learn what not to do. Thanks for the story. My rig is entirely digital so it's good to have cautionary tales.
When you run your amp with no load(speaker). Don't do it! Especially a tube amp.
My worst gig was similar. The sound guy plugged some weird device into my second input(which he thought was a line out). Next thing you know my power tubes leaked out and my sound volume gets so low. I basically curse him out because he fucked my amp up, and then he tells me "I've never done this before". Oh, later that night, he did the same thing to the bass player of Drowning Pool. :(
Oh Ryan ! I think I could use some of your patience.
Wow... I know as a high school kid, I wouldn't have been bold enough to stand up for myself, but if that happened to me now? Either I'd get a new amp or I'd end up in jail, one of the two.
Ok, I've worked with a lot of horribly incompetent "sound engineers" but fuck me sideways, this is a level I couldn't even imagine!
worst gig for me...booze cruise in Boston. 1985. Singer gets drunk and stands out in the rain getting soaked. Comes back on stage leaving big puddles all over the place. Zap Zap Zap electric shocks for all of us all night long.
The sound guy is probably a bass player.
Fluff flipping the bird should be a meme!
This might have happen for a reason. What is the amplifier that you got next show?
Poor Fluff. But look at you now.
Thinking about past gigs, most of them had things that didnt go right. Gigging is character building.
Fluff, I have one. We had a whole weekender turn to shit and I’d love to talk about it!!
Oh my god, i can relate soooooo much with this story, you don't even imagine how many times i almost kicked a shity "sound guy" at local venues..... I never understood how such people do to find work and get paid for it !
Ough my god I have not gigged very much but I am dreading the sound guy based on all of the stories I hear...
Eyebrow raised when I heard DI’d crate amp
