Too bloody right. I can see where George is coming from though. There are
three types of band out there.

1) Rank amateurs who don't care enough about what they do to carry their own
engineer.
2) Rank amateurs who don't care enough about what they do pay for an
engineer so get a mate in to do their sound that doesn't actually know much
about sound engineering.
3) Bands who are professional enough to hire a decent engineer and pay him
to rehearrse with them then do their sound, knowing that what the engineer
does is every bit as important as what they are doing on stage.

Seems like George has mostly encountered 1 & 2.
