Talk:Everything Louder than Everyone Else

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On the Deep Purple album Made in Japan, at the beginning of the song "The Mule", someone (probably Ian Gillan) is heard talking to a sound technician

"Yeah, everything up here, please. And a bit more monitor if you got it. Ah?"
"...everything louder than everything else?"
"Yeah, can we have everything louder than everything else? Right."

...which may be the origin of the phrase.

  • ..which is the origin of the phrase. Ever since MiJ the phrase has been used to snub off stuck up stage monitor mixers, slower-than-a-tortoise FOH mixers, et cetera, et cetera. --Tirolion 13:41, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So really the quote is from a roadie, not Gillan? --C Hawke 13:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was Jon Lord, actually, who can just be heard saying it - this is then relayed by Ian Gillan. Alister, UK
