I just think the self-centered nature of our culture has produced a bunch of rude people.

Spot on, sadly....

Reading this reminds of an incident at the Magpie Salute gig in London a year or two ago.
The band had just played a fine cover of Dreams when someone shouted 'Play some Black Crowes!' to which Rich replied 'Errr, we're not the Black Crowes...' and the heckler responded with 'You're not the Allman Brothers either!'

Needless to say Rich had the right hump and we didn't get an encore.

Unusual for a London crowd, as Shavian pointed out, we're generally very respectful.

Saw the crowes at the house of blues in Boston during one of their last tours, it was their acoustic/electric set tour.. killer show to say the least.

During ‘my hearts killing me’ Chris stopped the song halfway through and told the crowd to essentially shut the f up and the band started the song over. I was thankful he did it because the talking was bad and it annoyed the hell out of me.. it always annoys me.

Why people go to concerts to talk is so unbelievably rude and inconsiderate. If you want to talk walk to the bar. Don’t stand on the floor or at your seats and ruin it for everyone else.

I’m sure it’s the people who go for that one hit, or two songs they know and could care less about the rest.. but screw those people.

I’m on team Chris here

... Miles Davis on the stage alone with his trumpet is not a hot show?

There are folks among us who will literally just fart in church!

... Rich replied 'Errr, we're not the Black Crowes...' and the heckler responded with 'You're not the Allman Brothers either!'

Okay, that's just funnier'n hell, right there!

I kinda chuckled at that too! 😉
