PITA lead singer/guitarist

So last night we did a really easy gig for a fundraiser. Didn't need the big PA. We used small amps and vocal PA only. Singer/guitarist had Yamaha monitor right in front of him all night. Normally he uses IEM with big rig but with small PA not feasible. I stood next to him with a monitor as well. All night he complained he couldn't hear himself. On and on. The monitors were so hot my ears were ringing from them. Our drummer who didn't have monitor but just heard the bleed off from ours told me he heard vocals just fine and was singing as well. It was annoying the drummer and myself alright. He is a 49 yr old overgrown baby because it wasn't his way. Thank God for Long Island Ice Teas.

Rant over.

Makes you wonder how loud he has his IEM's. Surely some hearing loss involved......
