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.

Punch him back, lesson learned. Bet the old fuck won't hit someone again afterwards.

Not my beat, not my gait.

I suppose he's not into walking bass.

Not my tempo!

Should be "bass singer", not "bassist".

"bassist" is for people who play double bass or bass guitar.
