Hey guys smile.gif Thought I'd share some impressions from the gig we had with Queensryche:



Were you ever put in the situation in which the headliner wasted TOO much time with the soundcheck and the organizer didn't take the time to tell the opening acts that they should equally share the remaining concert time? That's exactly what happened this Sunday... Conclusion? The band before us played almost it's full set and we found out that we could only play 3 songs out of the 8 song playlist that we had which was fitting the time allotted. The performance went very good and we sold a lot of merch, but the uncoolness of the organizer went even further. He went to the PA mixing board and tried to level down the master gauge in MID PERFORMANCE smile.gif Only in Romania wink.gif

Truth is.. my friend Cezar was about to hit the man in the face when the Queensryche tour manager intervened and we had a talk with him. It seems that the guy had a lot of diplomacy in his arsenal and he managed to cool us down. We exchanged contacts and he said that they will try to make it up by inviting us along when they come to Europe close to Romania so that we may be their opening act again in better conditions.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to the organizer, as we will most likely bump into him again in many occasions. There are 5-6 of them in the whole country and they are all alike. They have no clue on what they are doing and they are only there for the money, which - not surprisingly - is not that big as a result of their lack of professionalism.

What would you do? smile.gif
