You could always face it backwards like AC/DC did sometimes.

 

[japetus]

No, I don't play at gay bars. Sorry.

 

[Nigel]

Post the bar where this was spotted.

 

[Wizard of Ozz]

I've never played a gay bar... so no.

 

[DanTravis62]

Not once.

If it sounds great, no one cares that it's loud.

 

[MadAsAHatter]

What's that saying.... If it's too loud you probably wear tan pants

 

[Racerxrated]

My drummer stopped playing (sound check) and walked off stage in protest the one and only time I brought a Mesa Coli to a gig. I had to turn the cab in order for him to play.
But no, I never played a show where they threatened the ‘baffle’ lol

I have seen Lynch do that several times live when I have been at his shows. He was still loud as all hell. One of the shows was at a really small club in Cleveland when he was touring with his Souls of We project.

 

[panhead]

Im all for loud but if the whole band is mic`ed and your amp is blaring ass loud in a club, the sound guy wont be able to put you in the mix 101

 

[GJgo]

I actually own a couple! They work amazing in small spaces once you re-EQ. That said, the bars & theaters we play at here specifically told me to leave them at home.

I've also learned that as I turn the amp up, FOH turns the mic down to where it's not even in the mix. As badly as I want to really crank it, in this scenario it just does a disservice to the room tone taking my guitar out of all the monitors & the PA. I CAN'T WAIT to play a big outside show where I can really light the Coliseums up.

 

[JimAnsell]

just because you have a 4x12 doesnt mean u have to be loud at all. non master volume amps are more of an issue.

Too many clowns out there that 'mix' with their eyes. The crying about the guitar rig is usually preceded by an obnoxious 35 minute drum check.

yep plenty a douchebag soundmen out there

 

[Greazygeo]

First time ever getting asked to turn down was last October….hundreds and hundreds of gigs with anywhere from one to 5 4-12’s and never asked to turn down….showed up with my little 2-12 semi open back cab and yup….”you have to turn down!!”

 

[SpiderWars]

I might just walk up and say; "Let's just get this out of the way...I'll be needing that baffle of fame tonight."

Truth be known, I got a LOT of compliments using a 1x10" Gibson GA15 and pedals in a shitty cover band. I ran sound from the stage so I was the douchebag soundman telling everyone to turn down. Turn that snare down!

 

[BeZo]

I'm in a fucking doom metal band. I don't care if I'm playing your friend's cousin's living room for her son's 8th birthday party. I'm bringing full stacks.

Hope they have enough for the 8x10 cab too.

 

[matttornado]

People hear with their eyes. LOL I used a 4 x12 with a 100 watt marshall for years in small bars and clubs. I used an attenuator so I could turn it down to bedroom volume if I wanted.

So even when I turned down to practical listening volume for the whole band and audience, I looked too loud and was asked to turn down to an unrealistic level that I completely ignored obviously.

 

[PDC]

Every live SRV clip I’ve seen, his rig was behind a wall of plexiglass…

 

[ewill52]

I have no problem with the plexi shield. I've used them before to help deflect a little and let me get the amp to the sweet spot. That eventually led to attenuators, then I ended up going direct lol
