To all that I say: tough titties. If the concert isn't to your liking, don't see them when they come back around.

Yup. And enough people do that, they start to wonder why they can't sell tickets any more. I continue to listen to their live albums. Everybody wins. Except them.

Whammo! That's what I've been saying this whole time. There are no rules of the proper performance, but you can help keep douchey artists at bay with your dollar.

I saw PiL for $40. What about that huh.

You're never gonna sell him on that idea using Springsteen as an example.

Trollheart · 06-13-2017, 12:06 PM

**** him. I saw Springsteen on the Born in the USA tour at Slane and he killed it. But he's just one example. The fact is that as I said, the larger percentage of live acts WANT to interact with the audience and for them to interact with the band. Do you think Maiden would stop people clapping? Or Slayer? Or Zu? Zorn? This Heat? Robbie Williams? You-****ing-two?

Talk to most bands after/before a gig and they're buzzing, they're psyched, they're hyped up to give a great show. Waters is a prick, plain and simple, and Morrison is an dour, ignorant ****, but I hate his music anyway so that really means nothing coming from me.

Whether you enjoyed it or not is your problem. I guarantee you almost everyone else who went to that gig did enjoy it. But the point is, did Bruce stop playing Number of the Beast and say "Guys, please don't sing SIX SIX SIX: it would be better without that"????

No they probably have a very firm "audience is the boss" philosophy.

Clapping at one of those concerts would be weird. If they did I wouldn't care though, those clappers are likely drunk jackasses ruining the show for everyone.

You're just being silly here. All I'm saying is that if I go to see an artist, I don't expect him to have a problem with me whistling, or humming, or singing along. I don't want him to be my bitch, but I don't want him to make a bitch move like that.

Mind you, I'd be in the very very very cheap seats anyway, so it probably wouldn't matter to me personally. "WHAT did he say?" "Something about it'd be better without fishing, I think!" "Oh, that's obviously a reference to this Pink Floyd song from..."
