What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...

Indivisible volume settings. Whether on amp, stereo or tv, volume should always be on (ideally) an even number, but at least one that can be divided by more than 1. 
 

prime numbers are right out…

 

I set my car stereo volume to 11, 17 or 23 just to annoy people like you 🤣

My pet peeve is songs/choruses that rely on "wooahhh" instead of writing proper lyrics. It's just lazy songwriting.

There goes all of Pop music, and a considerable amount of opera.

Basses where the upper horn thingy is a slab with no gap. It's just WRONG ok!

 

Too long gaps between songs on stage while the drummer adjusts his kit, retrieves his sticks and banters with the audience. Ok this is not irrational at all but it REALLY winds me up.

 

People who use CAPITALS randomly in typing 

 

Ashtrays and pick up covers on P basses. JUST TAKE THE FERKIN THINGS OFF why don't you.

 

Sound engineers who don't have a clue

 

Shorts worn on stage unless it's a festival but then only if absolutely necessary

 

Singers who roam out into the crowd and flirt with the audience. The band is on stage, the crowd aren't and the lines must not be crossed unless there's a fire

Now we’re moving away from musical equipment in general:

 

Thanking. Yes, thanking. Singers that thank everyone and everything in between every darn song. My thanks are when you shut this shyte up and just play some songs.

...mind you there was a memorabe wedding gig I was at where the lead singer (I was doing sound so not my band thank goodness) got a bit drunk and after thanking the bride and groom for the invite went on to say that the band could also be booked for divorce parties, future weddings and also funerals for those sitting at the back... I thought it was hilarious, but everyone else was less amused!

I have an irrational hatred for jazz. Literally any jazz (especially with electric organ/piano, or wild saxophone solos....just drives me nuts).  I tried really hard to get into Jaco, Mingus etc when I was a beginner, but I just can't.

Calling the bloke “Jaco”, as if he was a mate.
