Club Owners From Hell

[KeithAlanK]

There's a pair of clubs that my band plays once a month (each) with the same name and ownership group.
The older one is never a problem, but the "hands-on owner" lives near the newer one so he thinks he can be the manager, too.
Every single employee hates him.
No exceptions--they want him dead.

All interaction are ugly--if our drummer leaves the load-in door open while carrying his stuff inside, this idiot foams at the mouth.
He talks to me like I'm a 7-year old bedwetter with an abusive dad, yet I'm probably 18 years older than this jerk.

I've been doing live sound for 30 years and am still at the top of my game, with the number one band in town.
Last time we played there, instead of $3000 bar receipts, they made $7000, yet the abuse continues.
Tonight we told him to stuff December's show up his hole, but then the real manager spent 45 minutes begging us to reconsider.

My question is:
Can anyone on TB take pictures and video of me grabbing the owner by the ear and dragging him out the back door and chunking him in the dumpster, then taking a whiz on him?
I'll need both hands for this, so a guest photographer would be a huge help.

Thanks.

Fly me to your city and I'll do it.

Talk to the real owner (cool guy) and tell him the issues your having, you never know he may be looking for an excuse to get rid of this guy.

these days it's much more difficult to strangle someone who desperately needs strangling without everyone and their dog getting cell cam footage,and having it up on youtube before you bond out....

ya, things like that tend to attract cellcammers.

Next time he disses you, thrust a mic stand at him and say "hold this for me". When his jaw drops, stuff a sock in his mouth. Have an assistant ready with the gaff tape. Should this fail, shrink wrap him to a bar stool.
