Ahahahaaaa. Who the fuck is this???

[PETE'S BROTHER]

ace?

[hambon4lif]

All's well that ends well. Banning Gar and Ace left them with so much free time that they decided to put their band back together.

That's a live shot of 'Diamond & Garfuckle' playing their hit "Bridge Over Trolling Waters"

I kill me!

[DlocRoth]

Bwa!!

Seriously though... Who the fuck is this?

A closer look says there are quite a few folks in attendance.....

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 ??

Def. loaded but only a select few were used randomly around the stage...

[chefcraig]

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:

[jhale667]

I've seen this done as far back as the 80s bar circuit..."Home Depot" Marshalls...

[LoungeMachine]

I see this all the time.......



Cheaper to store, ship, travel, repair, etc....

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.

"Everybody Uuuuyaaaaarrrggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!"

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