Encores are dumb, yes. Power and love to the bands that are like “Yeah, we’re not gonna walk off the stage and come back on 20 seconds later, we’re just gonna play you our last song”
Same, but I’ll allow it since they played over two hours’ worth of material and because they fuckin rip
I googled most encores and it says "The Cure have played up to five encores on a handful of occasions and Prince has played up to seven."
Was at the tour last weekend, I really didn't notice anything off about L.S. Dunes. But ya I've seen tweets here and there alluding to a lot of hate for the band implying the members have said bad things but I don't really know where it comes from beyond the AI thing (and I guess how they responded to it), and I think there was something Frank said that a few people really ran with in a way he clearly didn't mean. It all just seems incredibly stupid to me.
Yeah there was one tweet Frank said jokingly, the day the AI shit happened, that had zero implications and someone accused him of being antisemitic and people started running with it.
No, this was when Good Apollo came out. The Blood Brothers and mewithoutYou were the opening acts and it was awesome.
So, to be clear, I was not expecting an encore whatsoever from them because 1. they weren't the headliner, and 2: I look up the setlist on setlist.fm for any show I go to so it was already known that that wouldn't happen. Sorry that the discussion about this has blown up like this. It was just super strange and people around me were also very put off by how abrupt and lack of interaction/acknowledgment about it ending there was to close their set.
Seems like a lot of assumptions and shit made up by the younger side of MCR's fanbase. Tons of projecting going on here. Reminds me how every few months I'd check their subreddit and it felt like there was always ~drama~ happening. I'd look it up deeper and it was either so.... unimportant or made me feel like I was back in high school. People are weird.
I revisited Past Lives recently and it’s fantastic. It might be one of my favorite most recent supergroup albums and I’m excited for LP2.
