I went to an Elton John concert where the crowd cheered for an encore for about 10 minutes.

He did not come back.

If the house lights come up, it’s over. Go home.

I went to a Willie Nelson concert where he just ignored the countdown timer on stage and kept right on playing for at least another 30 minutes. That was a good concert.

You are allowed to be a dick to your audience when you're a superstar.

You're allowed to be a dick at any level of fame. I'm not famous at all and I told both dudes at my show to go fuck themselves.

If you're a gay porn director, that's not being a dick, it's just your job.

Kinda rough that encore is so expected that if they don't come back people think you're a dick. It's like Americans and tipping

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Or Americans and standing ovations.

Americans are great at making things that should be optional or rare into common, mandatory garbage.

Give this man a standing ovation

I'm doing my part, I don't even stand for the national anthem.

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 3 days ago

Is it being a dick if they already did all their set? You want them to repeat a song? Artists get tired too idk.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

You dont even have to actually play your music live, at your own concerts. Fucked world.

Elvis has left the building

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 6 points 3 days ago

Had that experience with ZZ Top

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I honestly like that so much more than bands hiding behind stage giggling.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

They are not always giggling, most of the time they are drinking tons of water and standing under the AC.
