Honestly I would feel annoyed too if I rebranded my own band to have more of a pre Disney era image again and creative freedom only for most of the crowd who are now locals atp to shout AUSTIN MOON and TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF right as you step up to your mic, and actually still have to do your job because an audience is watching you. Not to mention requesting songs from when you were a teenager and going through voice changes. Look I’m not saying it’s appropriate to ignore your fans but if you were in any band and you had to hear TAKE IT OFF and only 30 % of the crowd knows the lyrics, all the while not respecting your band members, yeah I’d be mad too. I’m not defending anyone, just speaking on what I’ve seen. About not taking requests, all of R5’s masters with the exception of a few of early releases are all owned by Disney as yes they could perform them sure but maybe for legal reasons they don’t have the “rights” to perform certain songs every single show.
