Powerage5 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 6 hours ago, Dangom1 said: Are there one or two stages at this festival? because I can imagine Maiden having a big stage which will take time to change over to Guns stage 🤷 Maiden’s stage set is fairly involved - they basically have an upper level to the stage that surrounds the lower level on three sides like a horseshoe, it’s about 7 feet tall and maybe 10 feet behind the drum riser. They also have a unique rigging at the back of the stage that’s basically a series of curtain rods each with a different backdrop on it, they’ll go through about ten different backdrops in a show. Everything about their show is old school practical effects, no digital screens. I imagine changeover will take quite some time and there isn’t a practical way to back line their production. The rigging has been the same for the last 20 years with the visuals changing every tour - this picture is a good representation of their setup: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there no screens, for live concert footage not effects and such, for the people in the back to see what's going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have side screen stages with a feed of the concert yes, they just don’t use screens for visual effects of any sort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voice is still there, he's just been struggling with the really high stuff. Usually when he does guest spots they play it like it is on the album and he can't keep up with that. I'm sure the band has been rehearsing and found a way for Brian to go through the songs without struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 2 minutes ago, rudolf1978 said: Now they have digital screen at both sides Yep, forgot to mention they have side fill screens on this tour. I meant more along the lines of they don’t use a full video screen like Guns do (I.e. they can’t practically share equipment for the sake of a quicker turnover). That side the side fill screens are really just used to “extend” the backdrops for about half of the show (Days Of Future Past, The Prisoner, Alexander The Great, etc). Much different than how most bands make the video screens the focal point of the backdrop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskingApathy Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 6 hours ago, VeeR said: AC/DC and Guns n Roses are in the same area. I doubt Axl will ever make a guest appearance with AC/DC. But what are the chances Angus makes a guest appearance with GNR? GNR has that small selection of ACDC covers they could choose from (Riff Raff/Whole Lotta Rosie/Walk All Over You). Wishful thinking...I know I would love to see them do Back In Black or Walk All Over You with Angus (don't care about Rosie or Riff Raf because we've already seen them do those together).

onurbayrak.123 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 This is the first time Hetfield and Rose are touring/together since 1992 wow. Let's see if there will be any interaction between them, I bet not, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this probably just a one off if that didn't happen.... It was some sort of in-ear technology, and yes, he got it. That's why he's able to do this show and the handful of guest spots he's done since. Speaking of which, I hope he's been working on his voice/fitness, because at the Taylor Hawkins tribute show last year he was truly awful. Couldn't even get to the second verse of the first song before tapping out. I'm definitely rooting for him this weekend, but I'm keeping my expectations in check 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mooch14 Posted October 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2023 I’m so pumped for this show tonight. Really enjoyed the Fenway Boston show I was out a couple months back, but pumped to see them with this monster crowd. Just got down to the AC/DC dive bar. Pretty cool. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Hetfield is hanging out all weekend, it's doubtful. I'm sure Lars will be there to watch Gn'R. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashisGOD Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) I just wish I could see Maiden again. I hope next year they’ll be over in the US for a show and a Bruce solo show. Edited October 6, 2023 by SlashisGOD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
