it's not about comparing it to rock and roll... nothing of the sort.
it's more about the gear i think. for me anyway... when you're a musician,
you have a slightly different set of priorities when going to a show.
i HATE when i go to see music and the music itself is drowned out by
mindless chattering. very irritating. why not go outside and sit at the
bar or whatever and talk? there's MUSIC in there to be heard...NOT
talked over. i think that's very disrespectful.
i go to listen to the music, not to socialize... maybe a bit, but not the
whole
nite blabbering while someone is performing something.
you're coming from more of a social viewpoint...the music is an ambience
to the socializing (if i'm understanding you correctly). i consider the
music
to be the focal point. if you want to socialize, go to the bar and do it.
imagine yourself acting out a play... would you like if everyone in the
audience was chattering away while you were performing?
