[the sun and moon]

perhaps the monsters of folk didn't allow pics and vids because they knew conor would pull something like this?  :-?

Damn....I left early so I missed this highly original act of "rock n roll"!!

"He then allowed his piano to fall off the side of the stage as the gig ended."

Huh?

[lasvegas]

it's set up on a small riser. i'm guessing it was just 'pushed' or 'fell' off the riser.

this is so emo.

He definitely pushed it.

Towards the end of the first set he poured cider over Will & his drums & then kicked parts of the kit over (Will was trouser-less when he came back on) Conor later threw a half-can of cider into the crowd & pushed the piano over after His Masters Voice.

Maybe will just likes having cider poured on him while playing.  Sounds just like what conor did in ATL. ;)

Conor put water or beer on the drums in NYC too.  I think Conor gets a little wasted at these shows- not so much at the one I saw but when he opened for Wilco this summer he was drinking up a storm. Kinda slurred when he was talking.

Honestly- how do you think its a good idea to end the beauty of His Masters Voice with pushing a piano over?

[gideons]

Im not a fan of Conor, and this incident further helps my argument. He thinks he's a rock n roll animal and is trying to be all cool. Meanwhile hes being an idiot. Who does that? I bet Yim is getting upset...just watched american dad.....yim is classy (as we all know) :D. conor is a wanna be rock star...maybe he is a rock star for hipsters...but true rockers shit on him

merely seeking the attention that Jim's shadow is keeping him from...

is emo boy conor a meth head or a heroin addict? I can't decide.

[CC]

whatever tickles your fancy :-*

[goldenlady]

i agree he does rock and can the man live while he's young...jeezz

[capt. scotty]

im all about breaking shit and effing things up, but there's a time and a place, no?

is he going to break his grandma's fine china after thanksgiving dinner?

doing this after an MoF show, and especially after His Masters Voice, just strikes me as odd and out of place

[Ghosts_on_TV]

I'm gonna have to agree with CC on this one.

Well I'm sure they would smash guitars at a Monsters of Rock show but this is the Monsters of Folk.  It's all part of the hilarious irony.  Come on.

[aMillionDreams]

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.
