    I don't know, your two examples aren't normal performances, an Elvis impersonator and Darlene Love is there every year singing that song for the last show before the Christmas break. The Late Show band is a part of that performance too, so it makes sense for them to play it out.


    Do you watch Letterman every night? Does this happen every week? I just want to see one example that is a band performing their new single.

    Happens a lot, and it's not just unique to Letterman. It's not an unusual request. Also not sure what it matters if it's an Elvis cover band or an affected, wannabe grunge band.

    For arguments sake though, let's pretend this was the first time in Late Show history that he's ever asked a band to play another 30 seconds of their song. What does that even matter?? How can refusing to acquiesce to such a small, innocuous request ever be the correct decision in their situation??

    Because if Neil Young can refuse an encore to a prime time show... an HS wannabe grunge band can...

    Letterman ALWAYS asks a band/act to play them off if there is time, and if he likes them. The reason he asks them to play the same song, is the house band and Paul practice that song to play off for commercials as buffer music - and many times they also accompany the band. One of the most popular "encores" was The Heavy's "How You Like Me Now?" Unlike the douche-bag Orwells, The Heavy was obviously thrilled.

    Yeah, because that's totally what I was going for there, internet smartass.

    Did one of the guys in this crappy band hook up with your sister or something?

    Nope, I've been trying to point out that The Heavy is the only band he's ever asked to do an encore. I'm asking for an example that is any other band. If it happens so often, it shouldn't be hard to find. The only thing Letterman seems to do constantly is inquire about the drums.

    BTW, I saw The Heavy performance the night it aired and when it happened I remember thinking "this is a big deal" at the time and googling it now it still is considered a big deal and an anomaly. The Heavy is the only band he's ever asked to play an encore and he did it when they came back, except instead of the song they just played he asked them to play How You Like Me Now which they hadn't rehearsed.

    Dude, he does it literally all the time. Trust me. Whatever googling you did that told you that The Heavy was something special is ill-informed. I just linked you 2 that were perfect examples. Here's another. Satisfied?

    Saw that last night and thought about bumping this old thread -- he's done that many times over the years.

    Side note: Joan Jett looks really good for her age and all the partying she's done in her life.

    Agreed. And still sounds pretty damn good too. Up there right near the top of the list of women rockers.
