What would make it even more metal would be if they kept the song going while the singer got in the middle and broke up the fight without skipping a beat, saw Oceano do this once on some youtube vid(I was only watching cuz I know those guys and they're semi popular now), lol cant find it tho but it was awesome.

My kinda gig.
A CHALLENGING experience for the audience, combined with some difficult listening.
Dude, it's your responsibility as a performer, having such high visibility, to protect your audience. Not stopping when someone's getting overwhelmed, or at least trying to get some people to help, is just messed up.
1. Bands Taking Too Much time to Load/Unload Gear Off/On Stage
2. Bands Playing 1 hour instead of 45min Sets
3. Ego Centric Musicians
4. Demanding To Be headliner after Lineup Established
Funny Story on that one we were Supposed to Headline a 3 band show. The Middle Band Threw a Fit about wanting to Go On last. We did not care and we went on second. The entire Audience was there to see us "150 plus people" and when we were done everyone left. They got to play in front of 10 of their friends, if they just would have not been D!cks They would have played to over 150..
5. Bands That don't pull their weight with Promo for Shows

I use a stand sometimes, but usually I have a 20" flat screen disguised as a monitor flashing me the first few words of each lyric and any "turn-arounds" --- nothing worse than stepping up to deliver muffled gibberish because you suddenly can't remember a line to a song you've sung 1/2 million times
Maybe I'll change things up and get a conductor for my band as well... LOL
I had the same idea a while ago, but like many things in my life, Frank Zappa thought of it and did it first!
