HappyHourHero...I am the mad whistler...though I am NOT the only whistler at shows, I have been the one stuck with this moniker.... I have asked more than once on this board and to fans at shows if they would prefer I stopped whisteling....and, as I am sure you can read from the replies to your thread here, the answer has always been, "no, dont stop whisteling".....

So, I say to you...good try....but sorry.....

Regarding the whisteling sequence....Its like your meh. screenname.....your title so to speak....well the tweeet tweeet tweeeeeeeeeeeeet is kind of like my thing......get it?

?

Kindms, PLEASE pass your plea along to Dobz.....because I accept the challenge to take my whistle up against SAVE any day...and honestly I would hope he wins....

Yeah it may be endearing to some but it is actually just a damn annoyance and if he had any respect for those around him he would attempt to refrain from whistling unless actually emotionally moved to whistle. Once the band starts playing bigger rooms w/ less local flava the whistling will hopefully be drowned out either by a larger sound system and more people . I actually do not trade discs w/ a bunch of his whistles on it due to the grating interference it causes. This being said, I do not expect the whistling to stop but maybe you can just stay the **** away from any mics!!

thats funniest thing I have heard all week.

It\'s just a whistle.

It\'s not like someone screaming **** you into the mics over and over.

now THAT would be annoying!

Don\'t let it ruin your day or a good bfast show!!

Everytime I hear the hillbilly whistle it brings a smile to my face cause it reminds me of what a great fuckin time was being had.

Or better yet he mentioned on the board that he will be viewing shows in front of SAVE. I say we just have dobz crank the Bass AMP onstage and drown it out. That way everybody wins. More Ron and Less whistler.

You\'re talking about sound on opposite ends of the frequency spectrum. There\'s no way, bass bombs could cover up the schrill girlish shreaks that Genc\'s produces.

He\'s got a birthday coming up... maybe everyone can chip in and buy him a ballgag to wear to shows.

I have the answer. Lollipops.

We can just give him a THC pop before each set. It will limit the whisltes

I do think it is too often and too loud sometimes... when it\'s a quiet part of the song... etc...

Because I know Steve it doesn\'t bother me. If I didn\'t know him and was just getting into the Breakfast and listening to recordings I would probably think it was annoying as hell. There\'s nothing pleasant about your ear drum being pierced.

heh, that exactly what I was going to post. You beat me to it!

Now, if Ron were to make the very hard to create high frequency bass feedback, that would at least be in the same frequency range and have a chance of covering it.

Solution: have tim play a telecaster clean single pickup which crips distortion. EVERYONEs ears will hurt so much you wont even notice steve anymore.

EXACTLY why i do not trade discs w/ a bunch of his whistling. It is annoying and harsh to people that do not know Steve. It hinders enjoyment of the show being listened to.

As far as his whistling bringing back memories of the show? Fine but it lessens the enjoyment of people not there. Some crowd noise is nice but he is annoying. POINT BLANK RUDE

No it\'s not Freddie. It is just Steve getting excited and having little self control. He is not by nature an **** w/ little regard for those around him. He is just an excitable guy that LOVES to whistle. That\'s cool but one has to realize self control does not just apply to drinking and drugs. It also is nice in social contexts such as a concert w/ other people wanting to hear a band and not some happy whistler.
