I’ve gotten a few questions about my old stage mic. You know, the one that’s dented and looks like it was used as a punishment tool for people who cup the mic! I’ve had this mic since about the summer of ’92. I bought it used and then used it for ages and ages with my band “CHAOS.” Believe it or not, I was the singer in the band.
For the record, I was the worst mic cupper of them all back in the day. Yes, you read that correctly.
The PAs were under powered and nobody knew how to set anything up- and that was the “only way” to get any power. But then I grew up and realized, “Hey! This actually sounds like shit!” My anger comes from a place of love! So when I say “Stop Cupping The Mic Dumbass” it’s because I don’t want you to make the same mistakes that I did. I will say though that Rule #2 doesn’t come from a place of love- it comes from a place of truth. I’ve done the nice guy thing for 20 fucking years! – It. Doesn’t. Work. The way to get through to musicians is to motivate them and you do that by being honest. Hey, maybe Rule #2 does come from a place of love after all?
