What does he mean by brick wall, high end and all?

Hi, I'm not really sure where I'm supposed to ask this question. Recently I run across an excerpt of the interview with Josh Homme, former guitarist of Kyuss. But English is not my native language and I can't get what he's saying (the highlighted part):

KYUSS famously opened for METALLICA in Australia in 1993. METALLICA's soundman promised KYUSS they'd have a full PA during their set but quickly changed his mind after KYUSS plugged in and turned on. "We douched them," Homme laughed. "On a frequency spectrum, we were like a brick wall until you hit the high end — and then there was no high end. I mean, high end if not fun for anybody; you don't party with high end." Years later, Homme was playing with QUEENS at Slim's in San Francisco, high on escsasy and being interviewed about his METALLICA experience. "This guy I knew was making a movie about METALLICA, and I was trying so hard not to say something negative. I think I talked about the rider or something, and then I said meeting them was like meeting George Bush. My eyes must've been spinning."

We douched them probably means like we did them. And I have no idea what he's talking about after that. Also I didn't get what is the rider and why his eyes must've been spinning. Thanks in advance.
