- Short Piece on when Korn drum tech Abel 'Katfish' Vallejo filled in for Ray Luzier with Korn for their 20 yr Anniversary show of the legendary debut Self Titled album.
" 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.
@@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
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.
Obviously, you’re not a golfer
did it not? Donny, please
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
Abel you deserve a raise!
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.
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.
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. 🏆
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.
This has to be one of the best rock n' roll stories ever told. It's like a TECH's dream!
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.
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
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!!
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.....

I was expecting the worst like throwing up on the drum set or collapsing from nerves during the gig. Dude killed it and the band still sounds great!
