Interesting Rock Concert Moments

Anticipation fills the air as the band everybody came to see takes the stage. Catching a glimpse of their rock heroes, the crowd roars in approval. And then, the lead singer grabs the microphone and asks, "Are you ready to rock?"

Really? What a silly question. "No, " said one man in the audience. "I just came here to stand with a bunch of people I don't know and stare at the stage."

"I'm not ready yet, " said another guy. "My girlfriend had to go use the restroom, Could you wait for her, please?"

During the show, the band is loving the energy the crowd is giving them, So they say, "You guys are the best crowd we've ever played for."

Somebody in the audience remembers the last time they saw the band, and he's hurt. He realizes that this is just something the singer tells everybody. What a liar.

Somebody wants to go get a drink, but the band is playing all of her favorite songs. Then, she hears the lead singer say, "We'd like to play something from our latest album." Who is he kidding? The band is supposed to be a live greatest hits jukebox. At least she can go get that drink now.

The show is over now, or is it? The band walks off the stage without playing their biggest hit ever. How could they do that? No, wait, they just want to stroke their egos by making the fans beg for more. It's the stereotypical encore.

Encores used to mean something back in the day. If you really rocked the house, fans would chant for more at the end. You could give it to them, or not, but you never held anything back for the mandatory encore. Encores were spur of the moment, and you never knew what would be played.

The silliest thing of all about these concerts is the ticket prices. They may be a great band, but it's hard to be able to afford to see them play. Some of these bands really increase those ticket prices, and it's just a greedy move. They figure they can get away with it. If they don't tour a lot, they can.

If you can't afford it, you can always play that CD of their hits. That's really what you want to hear anyway, and they'll never sound any better than they do on that CD. Then again, this is their farewell tour. They really mean it this time. Better buy those tickets, just in case.
