Next to you is a Bass Player whom is using 2 200 Watt Heads running through 2 1X18s. 2 2X15s and then a Horn on each Cab. On the other side of you there is a Keyboard Player using a Hammond B3 through 200 Watts and assorted Leslie Cabs The Drummer is Mic'd and using a Double Kit !!! (Bless Him) The Second Guitarist is using a similar rig to the one I have mentioned.........AND THEN........There is The Vocalist. HE insists on having a Full Monitor Mix fed back at him from 3 Wedge Monitors across the Front of the Stage that are Louder than Hell itself. OH.....and you are using a 1000 Watt PA. Pass me the Migraine Tablets and a Damp Cloth to cover my Head Please.

As my Dear Old Dad used to say..."The Wisest Head has The Silent Tongue". It does seem peculiar to me that we are all drawn here through a Love of Guitars etc and a Desire to improve our abilities and yet there are some who persist in being rather anti. Strange Old World isn't it?

	Anyone fancy a pint?
