One of my most scary moments was when I invited a Gregorian Chant vocalist up on stage. He had initially approached me at a small art opening and asked if he could sit in. He was GREAT and it really clicked. I figured, "I bet there aren't many sucky Gregorian Chanters out there." It paid off... for that gig. He showed up to our next show and was HORRIBLE. I don't know what it was. He seemed very very stoned. I was standing next to him and his voice was coming through the monitor clearly, so it wasn't like he couldn't hear himself. I didn't know what was going on. So after a while of trying to get things on a melodic track, I just decided to go with it and go atonal. What else can you do? WHEN YOUR GUEST VOCALIST WON'T LEAVE! He wouldn't get off the mic! Finally when I realized he was killing us, I just took the mic from him and said, "OK, that's great. Talk to you later." He scowled at me for a bit but finally left. So I guess the moral of the story is, it's a messy world and shit happens. Try to laugh and go on. There's not much sense in dwelling on a bad show or letting a bad moment ruin a show for you. I find if you can see the humor in it and laugh, the audience will laugh with you and forgive. There's nothing worse than transfering your tension to your audience.
