I always give the encore over to chaos, so people can yell out requests and I can hack my way through a song that I don't really know anymore.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I quite like the drama of an encore. I think an encore is for those artists who are inclined to do dramatic gestures, and I certainly would say I am inclined towards them.
I think an encore is perfectly acceptable, but I find it so weird when people do two or three.
Five or six songs leaked from the original version of 'Encore.' So I had to go in and make new songs to replace them.
Presented with a song like Exit Music, It's impossible to know what to add without actually making it worse. How can you play along when It's already there?
I do not, as a rule, do encores. When I have finished playing, I have indeed finished playing. I have nothing left; there has been no reserve.
In my concerts, people love when I sing a Latin encore with guitar.
Occasionally, you get a nice surprise when someone covers your song in an extraordinary way.
When I go to shows, I'm really looking forward to hearing the songs I know. I don't like it when a band tries to expose me to new stuff.
It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.
I don't want to just go out and do song to song to song. I like to create things before the song actually kicks in, little things you do to excite the crowd.
