Basic instruction for FOH:
​
Supplemental Tracks should be as audible as the guitar out front of house. It is an important part of the mix, and should be heard clearly. Supplemental Track should be potted up before show begins and should remain on throughout. Stage left and right vocals should be clear and audible as well, with a slight reverb wash and tight slap echo on both. Bass should be fat and "low-endie". Guitar is a big part of the bands sound and should be tweaked up during solos. Lead vocal is usually good with an 1/8th note delay, if the sound man isn't familiar with U2's music. The delay should be totally audible, and crisp.
​
Bands stage volume is always at a fairly low level. All instruments should be amplified through the front of house. Soundman has full control of the band's mix.
​
Monitors:
​
Drummer: uses an auxiliary Mixer for his in ear monitors. He shall be supplied a line level aux. mix. and an "ambient mic" on a stand for room audio.

He's the kind of guest who calls reception for more soaps and shampoo and then takes them home with him. #COMP'D

He takes them straight off Consuela's cart.

Tsss, is he having Mrs. Bucket's son over or sumpthin?
1 McGowan9 2019-06-19
I don't usually stay in places like that but isn't there something of a gulf in quality between Sheratons on the one hand and Holiday/Days Inn on the other? Why is he lumping them in the same bracket? Apart from being retarded.
1 AaKkisa 2019-06-19
That bovine thinks Holiday Inn and Days Inn are "5 Star" Hotel rooms. How do the other members of the band put up with him?
1 AIIenRicketts 2019-06-19
They don’t. 2U has a higher turnover rate than Walmart.
1 Attonitus1 2019-06-19
We will only eat food from michelin star restaurants (i.e. McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, etc).

Some of the best red Gatorade I've had has been from a 711.

Yeah and there's no such thing as star rating higher than 5.
1 kevin_k 2019-06-19
If Joe and a roadie share a room in a three-star, that makes it a six-star
1 GinFoss 2019-06-19
5 stars out of 15 maybe

1 SHITLORD_CUNTDICK 2019-06-19
What the fuck? If I was tue "DJ" at one of Joe's TGIFridays gigs, I would slam on the Joshua Tree immediately after 2U finished and then go take a 60 minute shit break.
1 JoeCumiaDotCom 2019-06-19
HAHA stupid cow doesn't want anyone to be reminded of how shitty his band sounds compared to the real U2.
1 andysixxjpg 2019-06-19
If I was a "DJ" at one of Joe's TGIFriday gigs, I would slam my forehead on a landmine immediately before 2U started and go take an eternal break from shit
1 GinFoss 2019-06-19
Why wouldn't you save the landmine until after the show started
1 CumpoundMedia 2019-06-19
If I was a patron at a restaurant Joe was playing at, I would be sure to have the check on the table 10 minutes before he started.
1 Skip4play 2019-06-19
His favorite flavor of gatorade is " red".
1 SHITLORD_CUNTDICK 2019-06-19
It's also like $1.89. A case of water is like $3.50 at Walmart and you can get a turkey sandwich there for probably $5. His whole rider is around $10. Why make the venue buy this shit? We know you're not too busy to go grocery shopping, Joe.

It's about the principle. I was promised four large pepsi cola's.

He is a lazy cumia what do you expect? Next you gonna want him to write his own lyrics sheesh.
1 GinFoss 2019-06-19
"you can have the Irish coffee or the Gatorade sorry I can't afford both"
Joe on Facebook:
"So to the LIBTARD bar owner thought he could GET one over on ME so I.... Blah blah blah.... Moo"
1 Skip4play 2019-06-19
So so so so so if I have the irish coffee I cant be hydrated?
1 suirogerg 2019-06-19
Of course that fat-titted slob drinks red Gatorade.
1 JerkStoreJ 2019-06-19
Amazing that the local library parking lot was able to provide these accommodations.
Also, 5 star Days Inn? I guess that makes a real hotel like 12 stars
1 GinFoss 2019-06-19

Bologna sandwich with honey mustard. EVERYTHING COMP'D
1 ants_ccw_permit 2019-06-19
how theatrical. I would be glad thinking it was over after the first song and bummed when they started up again
1 McGowan9 2019-06-19
I wonder how many venue owners have spat in his unnecessarily specific sandwich. I'm going to go with a conservative 14.
1 Doc_McCoyXYZ 2019-06-19

1 JoeCumiaDotCom 2019-06-19
Not that there was really any doubt, but if he's seriously asking for "a big sandwich." in his contract then the man really is just a complete and utter buffoon. He's like an unlikable Homer Simpson.
1 redditsipowillsuck 2019-06-19
In the opening paragraph as well.
1 McGowan9 2019-06-19
Does he mean one of those party sized ones that catering companies do, to share with his bandmates or is he literally saying "me want big sammich because me hungry" ? Either way, what an un self-aware shithead he is.
1 this_light 2019-06-19
Unless I’m reading it wrong, joe doesn’t have his own Vox amp. THE GUY WHOS BEEN IN A U2 TRIBUTE BAND FOR 10 YEARS DOESNT OWN A FUCKING AMP.
1 Skip4play 2019-06-19
He just wants to look like a rockstar walking in with the guitar and plugging in rather than bring in his own amp and set it up so he looks like his own roadie.
1 QuantumDice 2019-06-19
Hey, let's not blow out these spring chickens' eardrums, alright?

Reading this is infuriating. I've never seen someone who deserves less ask for more.
1 redditsipowillsuck 2019-06-19
Just imagine what he asks from Anthony. Probably one of the main reasons Anthony is aging so quickly.
1 Skip4play 2019-06-19
' Hey Anth, I hate to do this but I need an advance."
1 hulkanator 2019-06-19
Jesus Christ. What a diva he is. For a top-notch band, they sure expect libraries and nursing homes to provide a lot of equipment.
1 Jungies 2019-06-19
"Supplemental tracks shall be as audible as guitar..."
He's lip syncing. Jesus Christ, he's not even playing these shitty gigs, he's just doing Karaoke.
1 redditsipowillsuck 2019-06-19
A Cumia doing karaoke? No chance.
1 Mod_Impersonator 2019-06-19
I doubt he's ever gotten all of these things, or even most of these things at a gig. It's fucking outrageous for a shitty U2 cover band to demand "Fog and 4 special fx type lighting (intelligent movers, laser, and strobe). With qualified operator. Must black out stage after each song!"
1 redditsipowillsuck 2019-06-19
They probably give him a Subway sandwich and a red gatorade and tell him to shut up and play.
1 MarbleSpaceCat 2019-06-19
I believe the rider specified a BIG sandwich
1 kevin_k 2019-06-19
There's a five-star Holiday Inn?
1 CumpoundMedia 2019-06-19
I think he's confused. Probably looking at a mid sized city with five Holiday Inn's.
1 McGowan9 2019-06-19
Some rube probably gave it 5 stars on a google review and Joe is so stupid and lower class that he thought that meant it was a luxury hotel.
1 rahtin 2019-06-19
"Big sandwich" being in quotes makes me think it's some low key gay and/or pedophile codeword.
It's like a redditor asking what time the Narwhal bacons.
1 redditsipowillsuck 2019-06-19
A big black cock, probably.
1 Skip4play 2019-06-19
between his two buns.
1 Pizza2TheFace 2019-06-19
Of course this white trash fuck asks for the worst Gatorade flavor there is. The fact they even have a rider is unbelievably delusional.
1 TheMaestro2 2019-06-19
Joe takes the leftovers home and uses it for Layla’s school lunches
1 late_50s_why 2019-06-19
As if he ain't stuffing it all down his big Apple hole
1 ScarletNumbered 2019-06-19
Red is not an actual flavor of Gatorade.
