Wow I guess things didnt go his way.....I saw Steve Vai play at the exact same venue with no complaints from him. I am comparing apples to oranges I guess. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070928/...Ikn85f7lLK.nQA |

but still, you're gettin' paid. do your job.....i am ass-uming, of course, that mr. adams was getting paid for this gig.

It is odd that he had this issue, well, maybe not for him. I wouldn't know him from anybody.
Here in the Twin Cities we have a school, a real no kidding darned good school for sound engineers. They cover live sound really well. I personally know several of their graduates and these guys are skilled.
Most of the small, basically single person companies here are highly skiled.
Best of Luck,

Somebody yelled out "Summer of '69" and he had some egotistical comment about him making more money in one year than the heckler would in a lifetime or something. Screw that guy--Adams, I mean. There was a guy who supposedly offered to *pay* people if they yelled out Bryan Adams songs. Hahaha.

A while back, he left an angry voicemail on a music critic's answering machine, and it got passed around the Internet: http://www.mp34u.com/songCard.php?posting=1066
What's crazy is that he'd recently been telling reporters that he'd cleaned up his act, gotten off the drugs and alcohol, and matured. Maybe he's relapsing now.
