I just Holz-ed my kick drum and I'm CRAP. The kick sounds better now though.

Hope that helps.

Well, I'm sorry it didn't please you.

take the brittany spears mic thing up with him too

I saw the guy from Polar Bear / Acoustic Ladyland playing. I have no idea if he a had a hole or not, but he was shit hot.

This started out as a thread about big red flags and turned into a dumping ground for illogical nitpicking.

More than one light on an amp? A hole in one's BD head? You are just going out of your way to find things to hate. These are a very far cry from scarves tied to mic stands.

more than 0 non-venue lamps (ie brought by the band) on stage

One time I saw the Jesus Lizard put up one white shop light type thing over the band, kinda facing in to the audience.

I thought they were pretty good.

That's an expensive scraf man! It's got mojo that I need to protect! Where am I sposed to tie it! geez.... man can't tie his scarf now.

Any great show I've seen has involved the band getting away with something, in the performance or the clothes or the show or the songs, that out of context would seem like a bad idea. It's the bands who protect themselves from bad ideas that are forgettable.

I'm talking ones with girly lampshades and crap.

oh fuck that just made me think of something that is a true red-flag that I saw for real, one of the first "shows" I went to in london - I shit you not

fishtank diaramas from which a covered in chux cloths which are removed one at a time in between each song until finally all are gone revealing a cotton ball sea and a light-house scene. oh and there was a round nightlight held on the outside to represent the moon.
