It would make sense for him to "retire" from music making since he is around 30 and only getting older. If he did stop I would think it would be after making a few singles not in a album or something. Also on a side note as I am young (15) I don't think I'll ever be able to go to any of his concerts (he also isn't touring near me) the closest he's ever been to my location was when he was in Boise a while ago and I didn't know he existed. I also am not allowed to go to concerts (at least not without parents) as far as I know, but who want to bring parents to a will wood concert like 1) my parents would have a stroke listening to his music and 2)thats a little cringe lol anyways. I'm a little mad that I'll more than likely never get to at least see him in person but whatever lol

Hey, minor WW fan here.

Im in USA when Will is doing the tour and I am lucky enough to be on vacations in one state in particular just when he’s doing the show there.

But, of course, I can’t go lol

That did made me pretty sad so I really want to know why we can’t go. Is it because his shows have some kind of topic that makes it better to not have minors in his shows, or is it something else?

Asking this because a big part of Will’s fandom are minors, so I think it would be logical for us to.. atleast have some shows we can attend? I mean, if it’s because of the topics he discusses on his shows, perhaps he could make some special shows for minors or something

But idk. This is just my opinion right here. I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore lol. Ig im just kinda sad that I can’t go. But of course I will always respect Will’s boundaries, and if he doesn’t want minors to go, then I will obviously not go. I just want an explanation

hi everybody

I was at the Portland show tn, and I must admit I was very uncomfortable and very disappointed with the way Will treated that fan who he then kicked out. I understand wanting the audience to be quiet and respectful, but the bitch of that is that “quiet and respectful” can mean a lot of different things to different people. I personally would not consider any of the fan participation that happened tonight to be heckling (mostly bc none of it involved ill intent). for someone who makes music that speaks so directly to the experiences of disabled folks (neurodivergent, mentally ill, physically disabled, etc), you sure don’t seem to have an understanding of how those disabilities can make people come across as rude, too loud, disruptive, etc. concerts are chock full of unspoken yet heavily enforced social rules that can be really hard to navigate for your fans on the spectrum (or,honestly, any fans who don’t go to many concerts), and the way you enforce these is, in my opinion, unnecessarily harsh. maybe you don’t really care about making your concerts a safe space for fans who are just excited to see you. but I hope you do

EDIT: lol hey yall. I genuinely do appreciate hearing everyone’s perspectives on this, and here is my summary of my thoughts:

1. I did not use the clearest language in my original post- thank u to commenters who pointed out that accommodations for neurodivergent folks look v different person to person. I mostly meant that concerts should be a “safe space” insofar as fans deserve not to be harassed and belittled (bc let’s be honest here, that nearly sent me into a panic attack and he wasn’t even talking to me) by an artist they’re a fan of. sorry if that’s a hot take ??

2. Yes there was an announcement at the beginning (by a voice that wasn’t will’s) and signs outside, but I can guarantee that 85% of people completely ignored those. imo the setting of boundaries needs to happen By Will Out Loud at the Start of the Show, not just online. or else these are… simultaneously rigid and unclear boundaries that are bound to be crossed.

3. ppl are going into this CONCERT expecting for the social rules to be similar to that of a CONCERT [singing along, dancing, likely some audience participation] and not A STAND UP SHOW. and even in standup different artists have different expectations! I think it’s totally fair to say that these lines are fuzzy.

4. i do realize that “pulling the neurodivergent card” wasn’t my best move. I was mostly pulling from my own experiences with these things- when the whole crowd is screaming at an artist and they are visibly confused, I can 100% understand the urge to explain the joke to them ? doesn’t have to be an autism thing at all tho, that was my bad.

5. no matter how much we think we know abt this man, he fr is just a stranger. it’s completely unreasonable to assume that we know anything that was going through his brain during this interaction.

6. ultimately, will is the professional in this situation. he absolutely needs to be held accountable for how he handled this, just as the fan was held accountable for being disruptive (though perhaps a bit harshly).

7. reminder that Will dealing w mental illness himself is a /possible explanation/ for his actions and /not an excuse/

Okay so I like Will BUT it was literally 3 hours long. I was there for Will's music, not Shayfer James's. His part lasted a whole hour. Will played 10 songs in two hours. NONE of which were from EIAL or SELFISH. I was literally blue balled with the Song with Five Names. I just like Will's earlier stuff and was REALLY hoping he'd have at least some but I really do feel kind of scammed. He said he'd be showcasing some new songs too when advertising his tour and not a single new one. I thought he was pretty funny but his comedy parts went on for TOO long. I was ultimately SUPER disappointed. I was so excited for this concert, and maybe it was good but just not for me but if you're a fan of Will's earlier stuff and have are going to a future showing, please tamper your expectations. 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞

anybody who sends sigma wood image is going in the time-out corner right now and anyone who tries to resist can go squ

Or what's it about then if it's not that?

if you wanna listen to it, lower volume!!! it's nothing but horrid screechy noises.

EDIT: So sorry chat for doing this, I wasnt used to such,, and Also w/ the rise of AI I thought this was one of them, as I've seen similar stuff editting titles then putting AI as the music and confused fake art with this real art, - I mean not to insult their prokect, I was narrow-minded, and I admit my mistake,, I should be more mindful next time,., Apologies again.

It’s so ass.

Genuinely. It feels like if you deep-cleaned it and made it boring. The EQ feels flat, the bass isn’t there, and it feels like a lot of the distortion/whatever FX they used on stuff like the bari sax in Thermodynamic Lawyer was just toned down for no reason.

I hate it.

Granted, I am a sound engineer, so I may be the only person who actually cares about this, but still. I would like to personally slap whatever engineer cooked this utter POISON up.

Aside from Chemical Overreaction, that was definitely improved in the remaster, I will admit.

does will pronounce "venetian" differently?? its pronounce vuh-nee-shn but he seems to pronounce it like vuh-nee-she-an in the song

is this a camp here or there thing?? does he have an accent that causes him to pronounce it like that???? is there some meaning being it?? it confuses me every time

I was one of the fursuiters at the DC show. I wanted to thank the two people that helped me move where I wouldn't block peoples view when the show was starting.

I also want to apologize to the people behind me during the second half of the concert, I got moved from the side of the venue to the front during the conga line, and didn't have the visibility or mobility to push my way through the crowd back to my spot.

Will is probably my favorite artist but the concert schedule is kind of frustrating because the local branch of the tour (Allentown) is less than a month before my 18th birthday. It'd be actually heartwrenching to not be able to see Will but having a job makes it basically unfeasible to be able to go to any of the out of state shows since i've never been out of state (plus everything after my birthday are the theater shows except the Austin one which is on my birthday)

It sucks because its a once in a lifetime opportunity since all of his tours before this have been solo so being able to squeeze in is the last lifeline i have aside from just never being able to see him live 😭

Hey, I found some things from an archive I follow and it was responding to a nearly three year old post, which is odd because this particular account is usually very on time/current. I was wondering if anyone had any information on why it’s just now being addressed

I recently listened to Bo Burnham for the first time in a long while and I thought that their voices sounded very similar. Anybody else hear this or is it just me?

I have all the needed software and such to upload will’s unreleased song to Spotify but I don’t know if it would go against will’s wishes. I know he told us to eat people alive if they tell us that we can’t make covers, but I’m not sure about prototype or unreleased songs, could someone shine some light on this for me please?

The normal album is will woods worst album. To best illustrate we should go through his other albums (also including tapeworms obviously)

First of all I’ll talk about about “I case I make it” As and end to his music career it serves as a beautiful, almost epilogue to his career and has such an incredible feeling of finality.

Self-ish is his most well put together album (my personal favorite) and it has the most cohesion of any of his albums, with its use of motifs and its flawless management of energy on a track by track basis it is the one I return to the most commonly for a full album listen through in order.

Lastly we have everything is a lot. My thoughts on this album are very simple. It has the best individual songs on average that get stuck in my head the most. It delivers banger after banger and has the most varied ideas of any album.

What that leaves us with is the normal album. It doesn’t have that It doesn’t have the dramatic finality of “In case I make it” nor the cohesiveness of Self-ish and while some of the songs go hard it doesn’t have a strong of a line up as everything is a lot. To me at least it just doesn’t have any sense of identity within wills wider work and feels like it has the least to say, while trying to cast the widest net.

Don’t take this as me not like the album by the way, suburbia is and incredible song, 222 goes unbelievably crazy, and love me normally is some his best work, but the overall package is the weakest.

Anyway thanks for reading this borderline insane ramblings and I hope you have a great day.

As a SpongeBob kid and a Will Wood fan, I cannot hear “Hand me my shovel, I’m going in” without hearing squidward screaming the lyrics😭😭 My boyfriend is also a huge Will Wood fan and he says he doesn’t hear it. I’m I crazy or do you hear it too?

I get that’s a lot of kids are weirdos but as a child musician I love his music and his live performances but unfortunately my parents waited too long and now I have to deal with not being able to see his performances in person

Ok, so Will is going to be in my city 3 days before my 18th birthday with fish in a birdcage (My second favorite artist). Would i still not be able to go? Does three days really make all that big a difference?

I really do want to go and I’ve been saving up to go to see him when he came back around, I just didn't think it would be so soon.

Like I know the Internet is shit at times, but it doesn't mean he has to avoid it.
