Man, these guys drive me up the wall.

I call them "Venue Clearers."

It happens too often in my town. They are playing for almost nobody and practically drown out the whole band. The soundman asks them to turn down, then between songs they are trying to creep the volume back to 9-10 on the sly.

An 18 watt Fender Deluxe is enough for any venue.(FOR GUITARDISM)
Then you only need to keep up with the tubs. (that's another story)
