Texas Open 9b Open Exotic Foreign Music

It's really about being open minded. After watching CJ Wiley's videos, I trained to Tibetan Buddhist chants and sutras. But the stuff they are playing at the Open is too much. Worst part is some of the players are getting into it. I'm pretty sure I saw Gape do the "stanky leg" as they say. he had a "certain look" in his eyes. Someone needs to talk to him :cautious:

I prefer music in a multi-table setting. If there is no background music, it is too easy to be distracted by any quiet conversation near your table.

Played most of my pool with music, from laid-back jazz to death metal. As long as it isn't ear-bleed loud i prefer tunes to dead quiet. We won a pretty nice stack in a Dallas titty-bar with thumpin' 80's rock and half-naked chicks everywhere. We were tippin' 'em to make their 'assets' quite visible on the other guy's turn. Hey, whatever works on the road. ;)
 
They finally managed to run Gape off; he must only practice to local tunes. Probably couldn't keep his wits about him when exposed to the siren song of the unknown. If they can do this to him, they can do it to you. How will a local ever win again?
 
They’re probably playing rap music.

That’s why the confusion for foreign music.

I don’t mind music because I use to do the Tom cruise colt of money thing before I ever watched the movie. I was 10 years into my pool before I watched any movies about pool.

It was till pretty recently, maybe 5 to 10 years ago I started following professional pool. The guys at the pool hall follow it.

Music and pool is the best combo.

pool and your kind of music is the best combo for you and you are entitled to it.

but i dont want to have to listen to another's music so i want them to keep their music private and nowadays that's easy. the only reason to broadcast music is too force someone to endure your tastes.

if i go into a pool room and put on my music loud enough for all the others to hear how long before it gets shut down. maybe two minutes?
or how about during a tournament if they have music going.

but as always if you dont like the conditions dont come. and that is what is right on private property.

What's up with the music at the Texas Open 9b championship? I come here 2 get in the mood & compete. The foreign stuff they play is throwing me off my game. Even the great Gape Owin (2004 US open champ) looked like he was distracted he kept missing and basically running around confused. This is not the environment I want my kids playing in. This is America.

I was there Saturday and Sunday. No distractive music. Easily distracted? What about spectators walking around the room? I am for zero music myself. A lot of what is called music is not music at all. It is vulgar narrative and yes, it is annoying.
 
Folktronica
Acid Jazz
Pirate metal

Who really cares??

I mean, anything has to be better than the elevator music they play at some events...

Music means very little. But is entirely necessary to avoid the plethora of other distractions...

Bring headphones if there's nothing stating you can't wear them in the tournament directive.

Anyone heard the genre 'noise' ? Throw some of that on and thou shalt be distracted. I watched a live show once of an artist (if you can call them that) supporting a very good hardcore band I like. The dude just shoved a microphone in a bucket of glass and banged it all over the place for a minute or two... That constituted as a song apparently 🤣

Well, at first I tried ignoring it. I thought this exotic influence would only reach younger Gen Z players.

But then, I glanced at Gape's phone and he was jamming to
on repeat. His limbs were flailing uncontrollably and his gaze was erratic. We briefly locked eyes. A look of intense shame and regret washed over his face. It was like surprising a man in his second-most vulnerable position. Don't tell me it's just coincidence that he didn't sweep the tournament. Something's going on.
