When I first saw the video my kneejerk reaction was "singers, amirite?"

Then I found out the reason for the blowup, and it was something I can absolutely relate to: guitar was too frickin' loud.

pf has had mental and substance issues forever, it's not just the usual  "too loud" thing (altho maybe singers should sing louder haha, or attack the foh guy?)

The problem was not caused by FoH. It was excessive stage volume, from the guitarist's amp. We've all had the misfortune of being onstage with a guy like that.

I had to look up who they even were. Having done so, I'm inclined to think that maybe in his case a good slap was long overdue.

Thats what I read as well,

it's kind of a bummer because I really like the band, and if they would have come around my part of the country I might have gone to the show.
