Nice quote...

Yeah, I definitely got that one.. The worst act of sabotage that I endured was with my wireless system.. for those who don't know, I use a transmitter/receiver that allows me to play electric guitar without using a cord, which gives me the freedom to totally make an a$$ out of myself onstage..

So, we would sound check and everything was always great.. Wireless always was spot on during practices, sound checks etc.. but the second the bullets started flying, it never would work right.. I started locking up the receiver after soundcheck and, from then on, it never faltered.. Seems like unscrupulous forces (as it turns out in a rival band) was changing the frequencies on my receiver after sound checks, so that the transmitter was broadcasting to a frequency the receiver was no longer set to.. they literally snuck in, and changed my frequencies..!

Never understood that sort of thing.. I've always done everything I could to help others: giving them opening slots on killer dates, giving everyone good visibility on flyers, even posting "thanks to" and band photos on the intro videos etc.. loaning equipment.. anything I could do... I don't get it..



Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
