"No, I totally understand that. I mean, don't get me wrong, I've been to head-bangers before, but there is definitely something be appreciate about a place where you can hear your own thoughts," he chuckled.

He glanced around them and back into a corner where he spied a pool table and his eyes flicked back to Steve. "Maybe we can see if you can concentrate enough to give me a challenge at pool?" he grinned.
