  • @crazypoofs this will be my last reply as well. The canvas won't be a painting, but the act of handing it to me can be done with artistic intentions. And if I'm willing to pay for it, for exactly what it is, then this act is in no way a fraud.

  • argument over.. you will get no more replies from me. i have better things to do

  • @henry5252515 in the middle of an actual song during an actual concert that uses silence to build tension or emphasize the next note. silence is golden... but its not art... and its not music. how bout i hand you a blank canvas and call it a painting?

  • @crazypoofs also, the fact that you won't pay for it doesn't make it a con. Some would never pay to see ballet, others would never pay to see a black metal gig. Doesn't make them cons either. People are willing to pay for what they want to see.

  • The bass killed me.

  • @crazypoofs the orchestra and conductor are a part of the experience too, they help to make a point. I'll call bullshit as well if someone tries to sell me 4 minutes of recorded silence on CD, but a live experience like this with hundreds of other people is actually worth paying for. When was the last time you felt silence like that?

  • @Geniusmu09 perhaps 2,228 people actually ARE musicians

  • @tigerhawkteenager Well Said SIr

  • @LaxRatBra he IS dead. i'm pretty sure he did this as a prank and idiots took it seriously. any other explanation would make me lose faith in humanity

  • and people like you who buy in to it because it's "controversial" or "innovative" are just lining the pockets of con men and swindlers. how much do you think was made of that "concert"?
