conor knocks over piano at london MOF show?

[Sparkle]

I don't think pushing the piano over won him any more fans. The friend I took to the show who didn't know any of his music before now refuses to listen to him at all! It wasn't a great idea but for me it didn't detract from the evening and it was still a really great show.

If it was such a rock n roll moment why did no one who reviewed the show here even mention it?  Even the ones who seem to like him didn't mention him "letting the piano fall over".  I've tried my hardest not to talk smack about Conor on the boards but this sounds pretty weak.

While I like some of his work (temezcal is my favorite track on the album), most of it seems, like another peep said, pretentious and fake.  Even in concert, he didn't move me and his whole "strumming the same chords really, really hard makes me seem like I'm really feeling it" doesn't work for me.  Maybe he is really feeling it, but I'm not.  Just my two cents.

hahaha, I picture him pushing it over really girly.  kind of a "hey is that dude trying to push that piano off the riser? pause... yep, guess so, man that was weird".  

pouring cider on drums? what a waste of a perfectly fine drums set.

if I were him and really wanted to be all "rock n roll" about shit about breaking stuff I'd have to think back to the past of what has been done.  the who for example, they didn't just push over a piano, they destroyed their instruments like animals.  If that piano had to die, the least conor could have done was kill it like a real man, a savage.  beat it with a guitar or will's cider drums.  fuck, conor can't even get up on a drum riser dressed as a member of KISS.  total amateur.

Even Hendrix looked silly destroying his instruments...

awesome. wish i was there to see all of that.

couldn't agree more sticky icky - if you get a hankering to break shit:  DO IT UP!  not some half-assed 'maybe he meant it, buuuut maybe it was a drunken accident' thing.

speaking of which...  @ the nyc show he came damn close to tripping over some equipment after jumping down off the drum kit backwards.  i'm pretty sure that if he hadn't caught himself he would've ended up falling off the stage as well.

gotta say tho - the cider drums looked kinda cool, blue man group esque w/ the lighting & all...
