Working with Raw Metal has been such an intense part of my life for the last few months. And I can honestly say looking back on it that, as prepared as I thought I was to do my job, I didn’t even come close to what I should have been.
Now – this is in the personal category, because I am not talking in my role of Production/Stage/Tour Manager, I am talking emotionally. This tour has knocked the fuck out of me.
I made the fatal mistake of being soft on people, giving the benefit of the doubt – which is something that I have now learnt I can not do. “Give an inch, and they will take a mile” as the saying goes, but that doesn’t even come close.
At this present point in time – there are particular individuals that I never want to work with again, and I will go so far as to say that I will make sure that people I know and respect know my feelings about those particular people so they do not have to go through the pain that I have had to endure.
Anyway – if I take a gig like this on again, it’s hard ass Troy all the way.
