Wembley gig was good fun tonight, other than some pretty overzealous bouncers, and everyone talking over the quiet bits of Villains of Circumstance.

If he'd just posted that straight up it probably would've gone over quiet well, but after the first post it comes across as far less sincere (regardless of whether it is or not).

I remember once seeing Placebo pull the most pointless encore bullshit on a middle billing at a festival, mid afternoon slot. They literally must have walked back stage and right around to the other side time was that short.

Encores usually rule though, although it does make me laugh when you see people leaving when there’s clearly an encore coming (yes I’m sure Alice Cooper would do a gig without playing Poison). Remember I saw SOAD on the Mesmerize tour and they didn’t encore, felt a bit weird. Maybe we’re spoilt by it.

A lot of people leave before the encore to beat the mad rush to the trains.

As a concept encores are pretty dumb. What purpose do they serve other than to occasionally have the crowd chant for more and give the band an ego boost?

I always assume they go back for a couple minutes to grab some water, inhale a cig, and rest their muscles for a sec

They should probably do this half way through though, not right near the end.
