Changing shirts? Resting?  I thought we were talking about rock bands here?

uh, to give band members a 5 minute break?  so they can:
- rest their throats/fingers/arms
- consume drinks/drugs/etc
- change shirts
- talk/plan the encore
- take a step back and gauge the crowd
- etc

haha took the words right out of my fingers

I'm so glad they don't go along with the bullshit encore thing most bands do.

Yeah, fuck bands playing more songs!

It isn't playing more songs when you plan the encore as a regular, guaranteed part of the setlist.  In that case, it's the same as TCV planning their whole set, and not including an encore.

Why leave the stage and make the fans cheer for five minutes, when you could just play another song in that time?

Precisely why encores are completely retarded.

and your take on this sounds really self-centered and greedy.  what, give the band a break?  they've only been screaming, sweating and jumping around for 60 minutes!  I DEMAND MORE ENTERTAINMENT NOW.  NO, I CAN'T WAIT 5 MINUTES.

i've seen lots of band members come out in fresh shirts for the encore.

and i suspect that i'm in the minority here, but not wearing earplugs when you're going to be on a loud stage night after night is about as responsible, in my books, as not wearing a helmet on a motorcycle.  you're free to do it, maaaaaan, but you're risking your well-being to look cool… and stupid.  but whatever, go for it.  musicians don't need to hear well, right?

This.

There was no need for anyone to have worn earplugs last night.

Also, I'm ok with bands wearing ear plugs.  My "nancy" comment was addressing the crowd.  Unless you're azaghal and see shows every night, MAN UP.

What's that? I can't hear you all the way back there in the 1950's.

MAN UP? Are you going to tell us not to be pussies next? Jesus Christ.

Well, if the girls designer jeans fit  ;D

Yeah - you'll pick up tons of chicks with orange foam in your ears at the Taylor Swift show.

Yeah, chicks dig semi-deaf guys with tinnitus.

She thinks I'm a good listener!

Am I really reading this stuff? Encores vs. No Encores? Earplugs vs. No Earplus? Fresh t-shirts vs. Sweaty t-shirts?

Ugh. Y'all make me want to spend more time on Facebook, and as it is I've been avoiding that stuff more and more lately.

Sounds like everyone needs to go shoot smack, chase it with some 'ludes and then go huff on some exhaust from a '54 Chevy.

Well if you don't like doing those things, you're a pansy. MAN UP!! I have liquid LSD with my eggs every morning!

My spoon is jet black and red hot baby.

if your horse allows you the presence of mind to swallow 'ludes after a fix, your shit is weak.  MAN UP.

Sure, they sounded great without earplugs but my ears were a-ringing this morning.  Same story after Alice in Chains.  And I was about half way back on the floor for both.  Probably not a good thing.

probably not, but on the upside you MANNED UP.

Agreed.  StoneTheCrow, you're ok in my book. 

Seriously, changing your shirt?  This isn't Barbara Striesand.  Did Joe Strummer change his shirt?
