That's the one positive I like about you; you have great taste in music. 
I worked a on-off on the BS reunion tour, but not in monitors.
There are a lot of positive things about me. Stomping on my face on bbs is not going to make them apparent. One can have the nice wolf, or mean wolf, which you feed is which one you get. I’m a mirror. Do the right thing, cause no harm, live and let live, is really not too much to ask for.
It’s not a brag. I’ve been hidden on stage with some of the best artist in the world. I hold ultimate power in how that show will go. Promoters, record companies, agents weight me with making that show go smooth and keep the paid artist in line to ensure their investment is worthy. They are planning the next tour, or not. As soon as that inflated ego comes out in temper tantrums, I hold the power to slap them with feed back to bring them back in line, real quick. And they will all stand behind me to make sure I do my job. We are both paid to do a good show. I control the stage, not the artist. This is real world of the industry. I don’t care if the artist gets angry, I’m with someone bigger than them tomorrow. I do what I’m paid to do. Go ahead, piss off the monitor engineer. 99% of the shows go well. I have the hardest job snd hold the most power in a concert production during the show. We have low tolerance for nonsense. i have sharp teeth. Most times, we become friends who do a great show together, sometimes we become like family. We respect each others role. Sometimes we have pre-show meals together. Ya know what me and Styx talked about? “My gutters are clogged I need time to fix that,…i haven’t mowed the lawn in 1.5 weeks, my daughter is in s play next week…., Peter Paul and Mary hand made my dinner from scratch for me. I didn’t care for it, but smiled because the thought of it. I refused to work with Steven Tylor..
Ego = amateur mentality
Professional = be on good terms with all people.
Attitude = everything
Failure on last two, you’ll be black listed and go back to bar bands and small local fests, or worse, not at all.
My point, you have some good video skills, don’t let ego be a lead weight on your ars. Your milage will sharply vary. Compromise is a sought out art.
Unfortunately my reactions is what I’ve been conditioned to be. I try hard to let that go.
What I love about this stuff, I can be nobody. There’s always greater and lessor. Here, I’m at the bottom of the ladder. I have no responsibility. I’d rather have a drink with common Joe than with most artist, keeps my feet grounded. What did I do after concerts? Not party. I went fishing on my 80 acre river property to wash it all down the drain.
When some realize what I’m conveying is when their tech skills will move in the right direction. If one takes it as a brag, they lost the point.
Anyone can make a popular game great. Small fish, big ocean.
You want some real challenge and higher notoriety? Make this game rocket, not rip it down.
Make this rocket, you can make anything rocket. Big fish, small pond. I made crap bands look good, that's when the big boys started calling.
Helping keep AW alive was not easy, same applies here. If someone wants to work against my good hearted efforts, we will prolly be at war. I can eat bark too. One won’t make friends trying to steal their Girlfriend.
Remove ego and we could use your skills. Keep ego and we can do without.
I make crappy videos myself because I’d rather do that than deal with ego for a great video.
Big fish, small minnow, who do you want to be?
I’m sure you’ll rebuke this, I’m sure someone will convince you to. No matter what choice anyone makes, there is no “I” in the word “team”. Its a good learning experience.
Maybe my goals are set too high, but if numbers come up again, we may get a vulken update. 1000s would live to see that. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
