He has long had a reputation for being tempestuous and rude to performers, according to a 2015 Spectator article by the commentator Damian Thompson, who wrote that for all the conductor’s undoubted talent, “one art eludes him: good manners”.
So he was always an a-hole, but this time, he was affected by alcohol and went too far.
- he was affected by alcohol
  in vino veritas.
  
  Age quod agis
Punch him back, lesson learned. Bet the old fuck won't hit someone again afterwards.
- Probably not, he'd most likely pop his clogs
Thats not what they mean by slappin the bass
That's not the way to make the music punchy.
Damn.
Nobody even notices when I play anything on the bass incorrectly :(
- Reading comprehension 2/10
  That's probably why 😂
  
  You're calling my joke about walking the bass incorrectly bad reading comprehension?
  That's pretty funny right there.
"Not quite my tempo"
Not my tempo!
- “I will fuck you like a pig!”
Not my beat, not my gait.
I suppose he's not into walking bass.
Should be "bass singer", not "bassist".
"bassist" is for people who play double bass or bass guitar.
I didn't know Ryan Nemeth played bass
