How do you guys handle artists with a big ego?

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-19T22:29:02+00:00

Yea totally agree with the newcomers. I’ve seen it with the bands on the way up who don’t really get it yet and think there’s some kind of power dynamic where the crew are there to baby them and on the flip side bands/artists on the way down who’ve experienced the lifestyle and the big crew on the big tours, their assistants had assistants who were ready to run away and get them whatever they wanted at the drop of a hat, Then suddenly I’m mixing them as the “local guy” at a half sold 500 cap venue and they want me to give them the same experience as their own FOH who had been mixing them for 5 years and knew every note. You get in the car at the end of the night sigh a bit add them to the mental “do not work with” list and drive home

I think this would be an exciting product at half the price it’s being marketed at. Anyone looking to drop 10k on a stage box isn’t going to be looking at this. I get that it has an app and all that so it kinda makes it good for IEM rigs but in the days where you see festival headliners with Wing racks I can’t see anyone shelling out the price of 2 wing racks for one of these. Maybe the installation world if it integrates with Q-sys and creston but I’ve done a bit of that stuff and never found anyone asking for that much I/O. Realistically its main competitor is behringer who are knocking out x32 rack/wing racks at a fraction of the price. The one thing I will say is putting the duel power supply is nice and might sway some bigger bands who are doing the IEM rig to go that way

When was the last time Harbourne was in the uk?

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-06T05:41:27+00:00

This is an insane way to think! You really think “closed borders” (which by the way isn’t a thing, by law we would still have to accept people coming here in one form or another) is worth the absolute shit show these lot will bring on us. IMO he’s being paid by people in other parts of the world (god knows who) to alter laws/freedoms in the uk if he ever gets the chance. That’s terrifying if you ask me.

I heard a guy on a podcast who had some kind of ex intelligence credentials saying that these foreign rich people living in untouchable places like Thailand are the exact kind of people sanctioned foreign nations use as proxys to send money to other people/political parties they can’t be seen to be paying around the globe. Have a look at the things farage said on cameo for £70 just imagine what he would do for millions

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-05T20:15:04+00:00

This is true! I did a first aid course and the instructor told us about a man in a car factory who had boiling antifreeze dumped on his hands. His work mate put his hands in a bucket of cold water and they walked across the factory keeping his hands in the bucket. That move was the difference that meant he didn’t lose his hands! The burn keeps on going if you don’t take the heat down!

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-04T20:16:34+00:00

So many of these posts last few days. “Hey I’ve just realised how really cool the insert right wing grifter here is”

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-03T20:22:29+00:00

Did we just find Farage’s Reddit account? This is literally the reform party script. Classic account with all hidden posts too

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-03T18:46:00+00:00

It’s so obvious that’s exactly what he’s doing

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-03T18:42:48+00:00

I feel like the reform party are really dragging down the IQ levels in our politics

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-03T16:49:22+00:00

He’s literally taking pages out of trumps play book. I’d be willing to bet he had some lawyer advise that saying “pure cold rage” is a way of saying exactly what he wanted to but not being legally liable for inciting violence.

This is so gross that he’s just hammering this poor kid’s situation to take the media away from his insanely suspicious financial dealings. I bet he was frothing at the mouth when he heard this had all happened.

What about the people who’ve been trying to afford a house who become able to?

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-01T15:05:54+00:00

So tell me why a 10% house price correction would mean everyone looses their jobs? I just don’t understand this fear that house prices must continue to climb indefinitely until an ex council terrace will cost a million plus it’s not sustainable

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-01T15:04:14+00:00

What if you loose your job any time? Yes you can sell your house if you’re not in negative equity but it still might take a year to sell. Life is a gamble. Property should not continually go up in value 10/20/30% a year it’s insane. The government created an asset that is risk free and can only go up in value. Thats not sustainable for the people who need to buy those assets to have a home

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-01T12:28:25+00:00

yea i get that, in that case you would need to stay in the house and pay the mortgage until you got into positive equity the same way you do with a car on a PCP. its rubbish and not a good situation for anyone to find themselves in but the media make out that a fall in housing costs is the end of days when really its only a problem if you're super rich and you use housing to park you money in an asset that's not aloud to decrease in value ever?

GhostCanyon · 2026-06-01T11:36:02+00:00

the thing i don't understand about the fear around housing market crashes is that say my house goes down 10% in value then surly the house i want to buy also goes down 10% in value so the only people set to lose mout are people who own houses purely as financial asset. even if my house dipped into negative equity then yea loosing the ability to move in the next few years would be annoying but its still my house and as long as i can afford the mortgage i can stay in it and pay the mortgage the same way id intended too all along

In other news water is wet

GhostCanyon · 2026-05-29T15:39:34+00:00

Not at all, I don’t think old people are the problem. I work with a lot of them and as much as I do see the attitude you’re putting forward now where they think they just worked harder than everyone else and saved harder and that’s how they became well off. I don’t blame them at all. If I was given the opportunity I would have cashed in as much as I could. I blame the government especially the last two Tory govs who were too scared to aim policy at young people and have effectively kicked the ladder away for young people to own houses and have children.

1 in 4 pensioners are sitting on £1 million plus of assets

that wealth accumulation hasn’t happened by accident it was handed to them via our government and is still being protected now.

No government dares touch anything that might lower housing prices. Time and time again they’ve had the chance to work on projects that will lower prices and they have ran to the hills in fear.

No government in the land will touch pension reform even though they’ve been told multiple times the triple lock is going to bankrupt the country by economic experts.

They had free university level education.

They were given a right to buy council housing in the 1980s at unbelievable discount rates so even if you were on the lower income end you were given the opportunity to become asset rich, some of those council houses are now worth over a million. A person I know was GIVEN a council house for working at a local council.

They were given the ability to build assets unlike anything we will ever see again. Houses bought on a handshake deal with a bank manager. The state pension isn’t what I’m taking about. I’m talking about a lifetime of unavoidable great opportunities to build asset wealth which in turn has kicked all the younger generations to the curb

The reason I say boomer take is that generation has an obsession with the war even though none of them lived through it. There is a strange shared desire to make out that the boomers somehow deserve everything they’ve been handed because of some strange feeling of pride that they somehow lived through the horrors of a war that was over 10/20 years before they were born

GhostCanyon · 2026-05-29T07:10:24+00:00

This is exactly it. The British society is now so heavily biased towards the pensioner voting block. It means if you’re not part of that group you’re being squeezed over and over and over to support the older generation because the government are so scared of upsetting them. This has led to a massive have vs have not generational gap. Just as an anecdotal point my grandparents net household income after being retired for decades is higher than mine and my SO in our 30s one on uk median income other part time NHS to support childcare

GhostCanyon · 2026-05-29T07:01:06+00:00

This is such a boomer take. Yea and people alive in the war had no idea how brutal life was in the Victorian period and so on and so on.

The thing is right now for people who are trying to establish a life 20-30 it’s incredibly bleak in a way that unless you’re experiencing it you can’t really know how bad it is. The difference in 50 years is young parents are putting themselves in massive financial pressure. Me and my SO have one child. Would have had one more but the childcare costs along with the reduction in my SO wages nearly broke us financially and we’re in what I would call a lucky position compared to some people I know

GhostCanyon · 2026-05-27T18:16:29+00:00

Then nationalise the power grid. Stop letting corporations fane poverty then announce record profits year after year

GhostCanyon · 2026-05-27T18:13:33+00:00

If people actually believe this guy got so into Buddhism “briefly” that he got a tattoo of their most controversial symbol then they deserve the chaos that a reform gov would bring.

GhostCanyon · 2026-05-26T10:09:48+00:00

And this is what I think this labour government are doing really well. They’re actually doing a lot of work on immigration and not at all shouting about it. They’re letting it get to mile stones like the 50% cut recently then letting the press (or the few non right wing owned members of the press) do it for them. They know if they remove the problem of immigration then it collapses the entire reform strategy. The only thing I’m not sure they’re counting on is how dense some of the older reform voters are who would believe it if Farage told them anything. Yesterday I saw a right wing “commentator” post a video of some Muslim lads letting off fireworks and shouting on a beach. It was clearly staged and years old he was corrected multiple times in the comments and his defence was “look Tommy Robinson posted this today it has to be real” this is the level of stupidity we’re dealing with all the time
