I roadied for them last year.
They're such a bunch of knobs.

Some kid won a fucking competition to meet them and get their autographs and they blanked the poor fucker completely.

What REALLY fucked me off is that they insisted on bringing and using their own stage, PA and lights. In a venue that has better standard gear in all 3 departments. That meant I had to completely empty the venue, then load it again with stuff that didn't fit in the lift and had to be carried up 2 flights of stairs, then unload it at the end of the night, down the fucking stairs and THEN re-load all the stuff we'd taken out. That's more that 2 gig's worth of work for which I only got paid once.

Plus, the drummer doesn't actually play most of his kit - it's all triggered samples so he 'looks' good but is technically rather dull.
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Thu 13 May 2010, 14:29, Reply)
