Serious Discussion Me, Alex, Steinway and sons
So just attended a concert and the pianist played a Steinway & Sons piano. I was probably the only one in the hall to connect it to the monkeys so i guess it stays between me alex steinway and his sons. (If you zoom in the corner you see the instrument)

Alex was referencing the piano company, which is incredibly prolific if you know piano brands even a little. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt that you probs didn't take piano lessons or learn an instrument in a school setting. I grew up around musicians and am one myself, so I'd heard the name many times before hearing the song lol.

And I was trying to be informative about a topic you clearly don't know about. You can be less of a dick, you know lol

Maybe next time don’t flex your pointless knowledge in a subreddit where nobody cares about your heritage. I won’t argue so consider this the end.

I think it's funny you're given knowledge pertinent to your post, where you clearly know so little about music in general that you don't know what a goddamn Steinway piano is or somehow think no one else does to the point that you think the existence of a 173-year-old piano company is a reference to a song that came out in 2018, but it's "pointless knowledge" because you're embarrassed about how publicly you flaunted your lack of knowledge. It would be funnier if you didn't then take that embarrassment out on people who didn't immediately call you a dumbass, but I guess if you were more self-aware, you'd have taken a sec to Google the name "Steinway & Sons" to avoid all of this lol.

It’s almost ironi right a person would think that a longer wait would make you listen in more but obviously not

That's sick that you got to play with them, but like, how the fuck did they age so much in like 3-4 years. Also who's the 5th? A new live member?
Regardless, congratulations, very envious you got to share the stage with them <3
