I came across this video -Thanks to Stagehand World's Google Plus page - of the lighting tech for Korn really feeling his job. Some have made fun of just how involved his is in the performance, but are we not just a little jealous at how much he loves his job and that the passion is so evident?
If you are unfamiliar with Korn they are a rock band who are part of the nu metal genre which blends influences from 80' metal, Hardcore punk, classic rock and New Yorks No Wave movement.
The influence extends beyond cord structure and double bass drums to the inclusion of the crew,and often the fans, as part of the band. The lines delineating between the three is thin and often fluctuates. In many ways they whole operation is similar to the Grateful Dead where the band is seemingly on tour without end complete with fans who travel to multiple shows across the globe. The band keeps a constant contact with fans through direct response via social media and appearances in smaller of the beaten track events.
In short they have a community not just a business relationship.
Which do you see in your own work?
