    Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!

    I would say Immortal.

    Then I found this:

    Grupa Immortal tak chciała przekonać fanów, że jest hardkorowa, że postawiła na scenie atrapy głośników. Niestety, ich fałszywe zagranie zostało utrwalone na zdjęciu.

    Kapela nie jest w tym odosobniona, w światku muzycznym puste pudła po wzmacniaczach i głośnikach to chodliwy towar. Ekipy techniczne wcale się nie dziwią, że muszą coś takiego ustawiać na scenie.

    A może wszyscy od dawna o tym wiedzieli, a moje zdziwienie to oznaka naiwności?

    Translation:


    Immortal Group just wanted to convince fans that he is hardcore, that has set the stage speaker grille. Unfortunately, their false stroke is captured in the photo.

    The band is not in the isolated, the music industry after the empty boxes amplifiers and speakers is a salable commodity. Technical teams are not surprised at all that they have something to set the scene.

    And may we all have long knew about it, and my surprise is a sign of naivete?

    It's pretty much common knowledge that many of VH's cabinets were empty, were they not ??

    Weren't a few of them merely printed upon a blanket that was suspended above the stage during one VH tour?

    The thing is, perhaps this guy is running everything through the FOH, and used the facade merely as a rock and roll stage staple. To be fair, not everyone can afford to pull the Geddy Lee routine of displaying clothes dryers, snack machines or rotisserie chicken cookers as their back line while doing so.

    I think that's brilliant.

    So the dude can't afford a wall of Marshalls. Well, that prop serves twofold:

    1. It's eye candy for the audience,

    2. The space behind it can serve as storage for not only the real setup, but for other props as well.

    Besides, he's far from being the first to use such a thing. Hell, I bet every big name has used something similar on stage. VH, as has already been pointed out.

    It's rock n' roll, mates... half of it is done with mirrors.

    Cheers! :bottle:

    Yup, the speaker curtain looked incredible live. I wonder if Geddy's roasted chickens were Kosher?

    Dude, if they woulda had all those turned up, the opening of You Really Got Me woulda shot Dave into the fucking Lodge section.

    On the bright side, he wouldn't have needed that crazy surfboard to float over the crowd.

    If any of you have seen the video for Ygor Fatsteen's Live In Leningrad concert, towards the end he grabs a Marshall cab and starts slinging it around the stage like it was nothing. Quite obvious it had those newfangled Celestion "Inviso-Speakers" in it.

    Some questions suggested by a closer look...

    1. Is he using a wireless, or is the guitar (like the fake amps) not even plugged in?
    2. What's with the garage fan facing skyward? Does it help in the fight against mosquitoes?

    LOL! It would be hilarious if his real amp was one of those bean shaped Line 6 POD things.

    He's got some greasy hamburgers going on the Kingsford. If you are going to have stage smoke, you might as well get it from a useful process.

    When you are your own roadie why not? A lot lighter than the real ones full of heavy speaker magnets and iron core transformers.

    It looks like a wireless transmitter taped to his strap. Probably patched into the 2 Engl's behind his fake backline.....

    Could be. I figured he was just using one of those el-cheapo Fender straps that always seem to fall apart after you use them for three days.
