@@s3Mezith exactly there’s roadies then techs, roadies set up all the speakers and cables etc and techs focus on specific instrument you have guitar tech bass tech and drum tech
I had to stop drumming due to a shitty illness I have with my bones, but even I was feeling this man, you only need one break in life to shine and brother you did it
I was actually there for that show. I loved it. Sounded just as good as the studio versions, so he did an amazing job as a drummer. I'm a drummer myself, and I definitely can understand the anxiety of being given a huge responsibility like that, and then trying to perform. He nailed it. Great job on his part.
Someone had a baby, a tech/fan got to play a gig with his favourite band, and thousands of people enjoyed the concert ... gimme that kind of "infamous" every day.
The Who had the same situation when Keith Moon passed out in the middle of a show (after taking a horse tranquilizer before the show) and they asked out into the audience if anybody knew how to play the drums. A kid in the crowd named Scot Halpin was able to get up on stage, play the drums and finished the concert for them.
I was blessed to be a roadie for a day in San Diego a few years ago and Abel was so passionate about his work. so happy for him that he got his moment!!
that was one of the best concert I've ever been to I'm glad I got to go they played the whole first album and then they came out and play a couple other classics
amazing job, i tip my hat to that exquisite accomplishment which was so well played.....great job on " ball tongue "......would blow even the finest people you know away
Freakin awesome job man!...been a big fan since they where a local band here in Orange County California (1994) and we had the first album right when it came out...totally unique new sound...-The KoRn sound comes from all 5 members putting in their skill! David Silveria's drumming HAD to be great/different as it's the foundation for the rest of the guys to build on...'nuff said
Kung Pow! I have Mike Bordin, Joey Jordison, and you fill in for KoRn....by far you have stayed true to the sound/beat. Good job, hope to see you out this summer!
" hey man you killed it on drums tonight! But , technically you're still our roadie, so ... you know. Go ahead and break all this shit down now "
The roadies are usually personal friends, they will usually know the musicians setup perfectly. You get paid a good amount when you're the drum tech.
I bet they take very good care of him.

My favourite moment has to be at 5:45 when Munky, Fieldy, and Head are all looking to Able for the cue, and he absolutely nails it!
The rug really ties the stage together, man!
And they peed on it !!
If you don't want to smash into your singer you stay off the rug.
Well, ya know, that's just, like, your opinion man.
did it not? Donny, please
Abel you deserve a raise!

He probably already knew 70 percent of their songs already but to get up there and do it, and not mess up is incredible.
Right. It's not everyday that you play in front of 30,000 people.
Someone had a baby, a tech/fan got to play a gig with his favourite band, and thousands of people enjoyed the concert ... gimme that kind of "infamous" every day.
The motto of the story being: In life, grab EVERY opportunity and run with it, don't look back or down, just Jump. Respect, he nailed it. 🏆

What a crazy ecperience that must of been.......I think Keith took a handful of horse tranquilezers though!
Yes he did. Right before the show.
Your Channel wooow
That's rock n' roll baby!!!
lol, jesus, a friggin horse tranquilizer....dude had the dealer apparently
That is awesome! Had to be a dream come true, to play WITH KoRn like that. You did awesome, congrats on a good show!
I was blessed to be a roadie for a day in San Diego a few years ago and Abel was so passionate about his work. so happy for him that he got his moment!!
This has to be one of the best rock n' roll stories ever told. It's like a TECH's dream!
Thank you for making the show happen! You did an awesome job filling in!
Dude hits with authority too! ....only a matter of time now that a band recruits him!
A sweet story but infamous is the wrong word for the title ;)
I thought the same. Infamous, by definition, has a negative connotation.
Yeah, I was just bout to ask what was so infamous about it.....
