Headphones

Righteous and Kickass man! I liked the violin. Maybe it shouldn’t have been in the forefront so much early, but I really dig the vibrato when everyone took their turns at the solo. Also dig that guitar squeal; had that Zakk Wylde type of harmonic to it. Tasty jam! I’d of never heard it if you didn’t share, so thanks fer that.

Brag on my nephew for a minute. I bought him a Maiden book for Christmas and told him to learn a little bit of “Where Eagles Dare” for me. At New Year he was like, “Hey Uncle Varmint, check this out,” Kid had the whole song down except the solos. He just tries to play to fast. Got his own band with his buds. Keep an eye out for “Legboner” in the next decade.

I dig that band name. And if they can play Where Eagles Dare, they will need a good drummer too!
 
The social aspect of pool is important to me, and I find it rude when my opponent wears headphones, but I understand some people feel differently. I do like music while I play, though, and it almost doesn't matter to me which kind. I just hate it when the place is silent. Even worse, I can't stand it when there are commercials playing. If a place has the TV on or commercial radio, I usually leave. I understand I may be overly sensitive to this, but I choose to not play in an atmosphere like that. I'm perfectly willing to pay for the jukebox, if they make that option available to me.
 
To add to my previous one. Last weekend I played a tournament and the opponent had earphones in. I only realised halfway through that he was on FaceTime with his other half throughout the whole match. Not coaching or anything but definitely wrong (and disrespectful at best)
I beat him though and he is way higher rated than me so alls good😉

I played someone in a tournament who had them in. I called 2 fouls 3 times and then when I got the third and started re racking, he said I hadn’t told him.
So I would play with just 1 in, to have your own music but also be fully interacted with the opponent.

What I do myself as an earphones user is just always have the volume so low that I can still hear what my opponent says just fine.
