Darn it, who put the report post button right next to the quote button???

So I'm still not getting it.  Why is it annoying to bring you a slip with a song on it, but it's not annoying to turn in a replacement song?  Or not annoying to change the song that's already in?  Doesn't it all amount to the same thing, which is which song you're going to be singing next in the rotation?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but that seems beyond silly.  Just because you like to turn in all your songs at the beginning of the night doesn't mean we all like to do that.


I guess you are locked up in the old ways ( I thought I was the old man here damn it LMAO ) You would just have come to one of our shows .. One thing you will not see is 50 slips neatly stacked to track rotation.. The computer does that and you only see new requests that havnt been entered yet. Over half of our requests is verbal karaoke or DJ ..Now does that blow your mind too? LOL

The thing is we run a dynamic show we can handle the ones that turn in their nights requests or we can cater to the sing one bring one types. Maybe annoy was a little too strong but sometimes it does.. When everybody does that Im so busy entering songs and tacking everybody the sound suffers, it slows the whole show down, thats all I got time for is rotation. Bring me up at least 2 or 3 and lets sing

Ill try to put it a different way You come up to sing I dont want you taking the time to hand me a slip (im not on the stage Im FOH maybe in the opposite corner 50 feet from the stage) I want you picking up that mic and my job is adjusting the sound not worrying about your next slip and entering everybody in the computer every time they sing.  You have one method in mind we have many but our shows are fast paced and very high energy we cannot be taking request slips from everybody for every song..
If you want to change on the fly then dont bother me with a slip just pick up the mic and say I want so&so in 2 seconds it is started. WE dont need a number just give me  the song... You want us to sit here and baby you every rotation"??

It is a different format..It sometimes becomes very fast paced and high energy WE cant be sitting here worrying about flipping slips. The slips are in the trash can and we are rockin....

This format has evolved out of many gigs many venues many dives and many clubs parties weddings and many all nighters.  It works!! If you cant imagine it the come to Greeley You are very welcome and we will give you a demo LOL But if you think you are going to get out of here without getting 4 hangovers  and a strange desire to move to Colorado then you are mistaken!!!
I wish people on here would worrying about their petty rules and every show should be run... LOL

When I go to a restaurant to eat dinner, I really don't care what's going on in the kitchen.  I expect to put in my order when I'm ready to order and have my food brought out to me when it's ready.  How high tech or low tech their cooking methods are isn't my concern just as long as the food tastes good and I get it in a timely manner.

Same principle applies here.  I could care less whether you have a stack of 50 slips and 20 books full of discs or a super duper computer that does everything for you but pass around the tip jar.  I just want to put in my song when I'm ready to put in my song and be placed fairly in the rotation.  The process you use to track it all is something I couldn't care less about, I just expect you to have done your job properly when it's my turn to sing.

And stop telling me to come to one of your shows.  This is a discussion board for people all around the world, not a group of people jawing at a bar down the street.  I'm in Los Angeles, so unless you're willing to foot the airfare I'M NOT COMING TO ONE OF YOUR SHOWS!

The only thing I can think of that I'm not proud of doing is losing my temper and saying something I wouldn't normally to a patron. I have yelled "Shut Up " at egoman in the crowd now 3 times. I think it is out of my character even to tell someone to shut up, so it bothers me.  :D


Pre-arrange it with all your customers, then when he needs it give the cue on the mic & let them yell it out as a group  :dancin:
Willing to bet egoman's ego will deflate a bit when 50-100 people around him are yelling shut up!


Gosh what a great idea. I think I'll go for "Sit down Hanker Chief" instead though. shut up sounds so nasty. Oh his karaoke nickname is Hanker Chief now.  LMAO

As for the slip conversation I can see why with some setups it can be a pain in the bum to get a ton of slips at once, but for me I don't mind.

Ooh, I just updated my profile and it says my Chinese zodiac sign is the c o c k.  Did I mention I do most of my karaoke in gay bars?

Edit:  Why am I allowed to see the word c o c k when I move my mouse over the picture, but it gets edited as a swear word in my message?  Is that racist against poultry or racist against men?

against those that are racist to men! LOL!

On the slips thing, I'm just happy to have customers that support my shows.

Usually, I had folks that came up and changed their minds. Only thing I hated about that is they'd do it WHEN I called them up to sing. After a warning or two, I just started saying "No... you've been warned, now sing the song, or wait a few singers for me to requeue you up"

Usually, they wait!  :O

The fifth and smallest of the limbs of this race makes the decisions.

I'm a redhead... take a look at that avatar! I get redder when drunk, sunburned, or when I'm embarrassed.

I'm also a  natural redhead (hair)... what little is left of it! LOL!
