Excuse my fucking language…

1. No fucking toilet paper in the goddamn bathroom: You get to a club after you’ve been riding in a van for 12 hours and have to take a shit…and there’s no fucking toilet paper.

2. Water on the goddamn fucking stage: It’s a pain in the ass when you go to rock the fucking kit and you’re sliding and flip-flopping all over the goddamn pedals.

3. Nowhere to eat around the venue: Sucks so bad when you have to spend a whole fucking day at a place when there is nothing in the vicinity of where you’re playing to eat. Since we’ve played most venues countless times, it’s easier to plan ahead, but it fucking sucks when it happens.

4. Loading equipment in/out of icy terrain: I’ve busted my ass plenty of times slipping on ice while carrying a guitar cabinet drunk. Some people at clubs are fucking morons and don’t put salt down on frequently travelled areas outside and around the venue.

5. Cheap ass venues who don’t turn on air conditioning: It’s the middle of summer and you’ve got a packed-ass show rockin’, and there’s no air conditioning or goddamn fans in the venue. It fucking sucks. You’re practically breathing other people’s sweat. It’s a challenge getting through a 45 minute set when it’s 190 goddamn fucking degrees in the place.
