Probably already addressed but don't go that route. You act like that here and you find yourself alienated because you can't be engaged in conversations involving difference of views or opinion. Overlook that comment if it bothered you. Sometimes confronting the issue is the wrong way to go about things.

But I as well disagree with you on every point. I look forward to those moments when a band or artist I really enjoy changes things up live; so exciting. After all it is their discretion to do so. Hearing the same songs the same way all of the time wares on a person. So to hear it a bit differently is nice to experience and personally for me shows that the band or artist I'm seeing hasn't reached their creative peak.

My #1 reason for liking a change up on the songs live is I don't have to listen to 50,000 people sing it live if its an altered version. To the 50,000 people you aren't very good, so keep your day job k thanks.

I guess I could respond to that with a well-thought out, factual, clear and concise post making valid points in my defense. But, given the incredible low standards here, maybe I should respond with a dick joke that has nothing to do with the topic. Or just flat out insult you. Or should I try the openly mocking series of posts? Maybe that would help me "fit in" and not be "alienated" from the dozens of anonymous low-brow life forms that seem to live here. Decisions, decisions....let me put on my monocle and ponder this possibly life-changing issue, you guys carry on...

Don't fit in. Be yourself.

I don't mind artists singing songs differently myself, but I can appreciate where you're coming from. Sometimes you just wanna hear the hits sang the way you love 'em. Nowt wrong with that. I have a friend who went to a Van Morrison concert and all he did was play the sax for 3 hours. Haha. No songs whatsoever. Suffice to say my friend was angry and disappointed. As were many in the audience.
