Bad club-employed soundguys can really wreck shows, and more than occasionally do, a lot of times due to not being a musician (or a competent one) or otherwise not giving a fuck. It's not a majority of them, but there are way too many bad ones out there, and they never get fired for it.

From what I'm hearing about this show, the point isn't just gating the kick so high, which is stupid and asking for problems to begin with, but this: not noticing or correcting the problem song after song after song, which is incomprehensible and unforgivable.

Fucking a band's sound song after song due to ignorance or negligence is screwing the band over but also screwing the crowd over for the money they paid to get in, no less so than if their tickets weren't honored at the door. Note to fans: point and laugh at soundguy when things are that bad.

Rooms like the Palladium and the Webster already have high ceilings above the stage in a more classic theater room style that can make them challenging to mix, but that just underscores the fact that it's no time to be dicking around with kick gates instead of compensating for the room.

The idea that metal drummers with the talent of Jim should be reluctant to bring a real drumset because the soundguy is a damn moron is really a testament to the unbelievable rarity of clubs firing their in-house soundguy no matter how much he sucks.
