So I was just in the studio a few weeks ago and me and the drummer showed up a bit early for the session... anyway, there's a guitar player there kinda throwin' a tantrum directed at one of Boston's best recording engineers. Turns out the kid is frustrated at a part he's trying to get down and he obviously either didn't practice the part enough or just isn't capable of playing it.. after a few more attempts at punching the part right go awry he starts going off on the engineer about how he doesn't have the right tone and the studio sucks, etc.. The engineer has a long fuse but he's obviously getting to the end of it when finally he responds thru the intercom that the session is over cause the board doesn't come with a talent button.. Best put down of a whiney guitarist I've ever heard...

Talent Button...

When everyone in earshot, including the rest of his band cracked up lauging at him, he tore out of there screaming all sorts of obscenities and continuing his tirade... then came back a few minutes later, apologised to the engineer but the engineer let him know the session was still finished. It was pretty great to watch him put his steamed-overegofied head down and started packing up.. Definitely the best I've ever heard.. I'm just waiting to get a chance to pull that one out someday...
Nice. I have often asked for the Groove knob to be turned up, and I always wonder who keeps turning up the Suck knob.
