    I saw Metallica this week and they played a killer 90 minute set right through, no encore. It was glorious. They left, we left, everyone was happy.

      When I worked backstage, it seemed like that encore period was just a mini break for most bands, so they could finish strong. Often it would be round of shots/ a quick joint, then psych themselves back up for the last 3.

      Encores are just giving music away for free; it’s basically stealing a concert ticket from themselves. /s

          You know, he seems like a real pain in the ass, but seeing him live was pretty incredible. He’s a hell of a drummer and I have to respect that he’s been able to make himself so visible as a band member.
