Heard it too and also laughed. Might embarrass Brit—but it was great!

My thoughts exactly! Snicker-snort!

Don’t people proof-read their stuff before they pull the trigger? I do, and even THEN I screw something up occasionally!

The headsets are so the producer/remote video truck crew can clue them in for camera shots on them, the speaker or the crowd, to impart info to them and for notice of breaks and for a countdown on returning from breaks.
(ever catch the talking heads doing something crazy when the commercials end and then they get that sheepish "I got caught" look? LOL)

If this was aired somebody went to break/commercials very slowly.

“Take it from a longtime guitar player with plenty of stage time.....”cans” help. A lot.”

Yeah,,,,, but,,,, take it from another long time player and studio musician,,,, “cans” can damage your hearing too.

Cans Can? Let’s dance!

When I see friends play shows, I can’t be there without ear plugs. So I know the feeling.

So what’s the deal with the retro headsets?

They double as ear muffs.

Like 1996 when Brit’s pal David Brinkley called Clinton a bore.

As a former drummer I ‘’can agree, Monitors(’’speakers’’) close by help too. I think the head-set thing came in after the first night when they were all using hand-held mikes.

You’re absolutely correct; that’s why it’s important, when using in-ear monitors or cans, to really pay attention to the volume.

Of course, being yer typical rock guitar slinger, I tend to have ‘em WAY too loud. :)

Pigs are flying.

Every single convention, every single speech is hailed as the turning point that will stick a fork in the Republicans forever and ever.

I’ve also heard many singers sing slightly flat, if the “cans” are up too loud.

On a demo session for a local songwriter, I was there for guitar and pedal steel, and the singer from my band to do the vocal. I told the engineer, to set the mike high, like Lemmy’s, and to keep the volume in Bobby’s cans low, so that he’d sing loudly.
