      I do find Eddie's stage placement to be a little odd.
      And the cable thing...I can understand it from a guitar purist standpoint...
      he "doesn't like what it (wireless) does to his tone",
      but I see your point, it's a rock show fer cryin' out loud...get a wirelesss, get over it and run around the fucking stage...:p

      LOUDER ??
      I was surprised how loud they weren't: I brought two different kinds of hearing protection and ended up using neither...

        Don't get me wrong, I think this is a GOOD thing....

        Loudness = Distortion to me....

        Could be that I'm an old fuck now, who knows...

          All kidding aside, I thought they sounded good. Mix was a little muffled, but that could have been where I was sitting...

            i have to agree with hina. they have that ramp and hardly ever use it. wolf went on it once. and the can only remember dave going on it twice including the jump part. soundwise it was pretty damn good. like i said i just like my shit loud....maybe because im 19 but louder is better. i hvae tix for them on the 14th at staples again and im thinking if i should dell them to a friend or go again. not sure. great show over all especially since it was my first roth show ever!!!

              Good point re: the ramp....

              One of things I've been a little disappointed with on this tour....

              As little as they're using the "S", I'd just assume put a square platform in the center of the stage jutting out to the crowd, e.g. at the US Festival....

                I don't think Ed walked the "S" a single time. He didn't go more than 20 feet from the drums. And what was up with him wrapping the guitar cord all over himself during his solo?

                    they probably put that s shape walkway there so they could put people in the circle and call it "all access", that way they can justify charging 500 bucks a ticket, even though its not really all access, in 2004 at least Mike and Sammy used that thing to interact with the crowd, and you could even attend the soundcheck in 04 from what ive heard

                      yeah ed cant really do anything since he is not wireless and since i have not been looking at all the other stuff on the tour to make that night better why did ed move in front of the drums??? i also dont like his use of the wah really. seems like he gets lazy and uses that to make up for it.

                          That is surprising..either they toned it down or you have some serious hearing problems

                            It's already been suggested it's a little of both...
                            Out of the three of people I was hanging with, two of us ended up not using anything...
                            My other friend said he did it mostly out of habit, wasn't like he needed it...
                            Wow, it was like '84 for a second there..."Protection? NAH!"
