How Not To Treat Your Fans
For the record: I wasn’t there, I’m running on the video footage.
Have you ever heard of Richard Cheese? He’s the guy who takes hard rock tunes like “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Down With The Sickness” and turns them into cheesy lounge numbers. It’s his shtick, and he’s made a career out of it. Sort of like Weird Al with no creativity.
It’s like he adds a touch of class to dirty, grungy rock music.
Apparently Cheese proved how completely devoid of class he is at the recent New Media Expo in Vegas. To quote some attendees:
When Richard Cheese started his performance he started complaining about the Audio levels, and from what I heard later he had demanded from the organizer that all other prior performers audio levels be at a lower level then his.

[Too late... you'll have to find video on your own, it seems.]
