Sounds like the Nickleback show I had to sit though once. The lead vocal was clipping the input hard all night, and whomever was charged with standing at the FOH board never touched it the entire time. I'm glad I was on the local crew and hadn't wasted money on it. Shame it had to happen in front of 6k people. nickleback's live show has two scenes as far as audio goes: 1. effects on 2. effects off they want a soundguy who will rock out at the console, be 'into' the show, have a 'young rock and roll' look and change between the two scenes at the right times they really don't care too much what it sounds like, it's all about the lighting and pyro

Indeed, there's absolutely no reason to care what it sounds like when the songs suck out loud.

Harrumph.

G.W.A.R. is the only "band" that should be allowed to get away with this.  At least I know what I'm getting when I buy GWAR tickets.

Eddies actually a pretty good sound guy though

Well, my point is that a GWAR concert is really a different kind of experience, and fan appeal, than some guys singing and playing instruments.  I mean, if you had to take a deaf person to a concert, GWAR should be pretty high up on your list.  Perhaps Nickelback is looking for a new niche!

No way.  It's possible to have fun at a GWAR concert.

It's possible to have fun at a Nickelback concert, too!

Throwing rocks at Nickelback definitely counts as fun!
