Stage Banter

I WANT YOU... TO WANT ME

Fuck no.
If stage banter matters that much, you need to give your mom a call. She obviously didn't pay enough attention to you.

I mean would rather have an overenthusiastic performer or one of those autists who stares at their shoes until the shows over?

Depends on the show and the artist

I saw Sun Kil Moon a few months back and there was a lot of banter, which makes sense given Kozlek's writing style, but a few years ago I saw Neurosis and there was no banter at all because it would distract from the earth-shaking sound they were making

Another example: about 4 years back I saw Black Sabbath and Tool within a week of each other (yea yea I know), at the BS show Ozzy was hyping up the crowd and throwing buckets of water on them and all that stuff, but at the Tool show it was all about the visual spectacle and MJK only spoke to the audience twice during the whole thing

>yea yea i know
? Y so insecure

I got to see Vulfpeck a few months ago and they interacted heavily with the audience. Almost all of it went over pretty well though, they had some of the best showmanship I've had the pleasure of seeing

only shit bands do that so im surprised modest mouse didnt

>artist talks to the audience during the song

Modest mouse sucks for a lot more reasons than lack of stage banter.

i like a little banter, like if they genuinely talk about the city or what they had for lunch, i'm all for it
i saw teagan and sara what must have been ten years ago, and their banter was so awful. too many long stories that felt too rehearsed and put on quirky-cute. in that case, i'd rather you just not say anything at all.

it's a nice bonus at best. I just want to see the fucking performance and don't really give a shit about it desu.
