The Big Suck Knob Debate!

[seanm]

I bet everybody has seen the Far Side suck knob cartoon. If not, I have attached it below. I'll wait for you to look at it.....

I have always assumed that it is Raymond's last day, so he turns up the suck knob to get back at the band for past injustices. I base this on the slight grin on his face.

I have been told very forcefully, that I am wrong. Raymond turns up the suck knob and therefore is fired.

So I am putting it to a TB poll!

Well, I....wait...wait...hmmm...nope...nothing. For a second I thought I was going to give a rip about this but I was wrong.

Hi.

totallyfrozen: Did you see the poll? You replied before I submitted it.

Well, I didn't, so I commented about that, only to see the poll when the page refreshed. A quick delete took care of that..

No I missed the poll. I guess it hadn't made it up yet. I'm not a big fan of carrots anyway.

All in fun, ma brutha, actually I really love that Far Side comic.

And for the record, he got fired because he turned up the Suck Button.

...or was it flying that front-fill (monitor?) over the drummer that did it (got him fired)?

Opinions wanted: What are some good ways to implement a "Suck Button"?

Last day revenge for sure.

My favorite line from a sound guy: after 45 frustrating minutes of trying to fine tune the monitor mixes to each player's preference, listening to "can I get more ____ in the monitor?" .... he replies, "can I get more talent in the monitor?"

I always took the grin to mean he was an idiot.

 

[TwinBass]

Clearly, the band fired him and yet somehow conned him into mixing for "one last show." Raymond is getting some revenge!

 

[Nev375]

None of the above. The band is a really poor drawing of Primus and he was fired for turning DOWN the suck knob.

Lawlz.

 

[mellowinman]

The reason he has that grin is because he thinks turning up the "suck" knob makes him a clever sound engineer.

He is about to find out that he is wrong.

I had the "suck" knob frozen with airplane glue, and we have never sucked again.

Plus, we fired Raymond.

To quote Deaner from "Fubar"... "Turn up the good, turn down the suck! Turn down the suck knob... I think you broke it off!"
