It's times like these that I wish I was a cougar. Because dayum, you're fine! (And yes, I feel like a perv watching WSM when those guys are young enough to be my kid. But seriously, I have loved WSM since the 80s. Kaz for the win!)

Good luck at WSM!

Carnegie Hall. The bastion of performance spaces. It sucks for a rock show.

My husband is FOH for a touring band (about 100 shows a year, including Carnegie Hall, Red Rocks, and festivals) - and some rooms are amazing, some are just okay, and some you'd think would be perfect are the biggest sound-suckers ever. Depending on where the front fill is in relation to the seats, the use of wedges, etc. It's all part and parcel of how the room can sound.

There was one venue, a regular theatre-type, where the sound was just weird. I've only heard it like that the one time; you could pick out every instrument and vocal, but they just didn't mesh into a cohesive sound. It was very weird. I've never heard that before and no matter how husband tried to fix it, it just wouldn't mesh.

They wear them so they a: don't go deaf (if they aren't already), and b: can have exactly what they want (or don't want in many cases "fucking bass player") in the mix.

Nah. He was thinking of "Moving Right Along..."
