Title: Set Design Post by: Scabbie on August 05, 2004, 12:36:34 PM RAMMSTEIN have fire
MUSE have a rumbling stage AC/DC have a big blow up doll and a bunch of Cannons Here's my question...if you were responsible for designing a stage for the new GNR, how would it look and what features would it include? Title: Re: Set Design Post by: Jizzo on August 05, 2004, 12:45:20 PM a band feauring axl rose
Title: Re: Set Design Post by: ccorn69 on August 05, 2004, 01:07:23 PM a metal chain to lock axl to the stage so that he cant walk off. but long enough so he can run around.
Just Kidding, I would have big stage with the band on it and axl maybe a few pyrotechnics and a large video monitor , but pretty plain and simple. peace :peace: Title: Re: Set Design Post by: jarmo on August 05, 2004, 01:18:34 PM A model of Stonehenge. :hihi:
I thought the one used in 2002 looked ok, maybe just add to that. /jarmo Title: Re: Set Design Post by: KeVoRkIaN on August 05, 2004, 01:28:45 PM Dress the characters like signs of the Zodiac and put it in Dubbly.......... :hihi: I agree with the Stonehenge - but bigger than 18" please.....

Title: Re: Set Design Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on August 05, 2004, 01:33:32 PM pyro SUCK so bad.
man i dont go to concerts to see fire and explosion. i loved in the old days when u could clearly see everything, every member, how they play and all i mean, in 2002 , u had to guess through the smoke, fire, and lights ..... too much. i'd have BRAIN machines on top of a big chinese tank. then huge chinese flags, symbol and all like theyhad on the side of the stage in the US tour. some military and revolution items like crates, fake weapons, ammos .... it would pretty much be a chinese "military" look. but no fire, no smoke, no blinding lights. I WANT TO SEE. Title: Re: Set Design Post by: madagas on August 05, 2004, 01:40:24 PM god, I agree-pyro is just flat out cheesy. I do like the video screens and the rest of the 2002 tour look. But, NO PYRO-makes it seem like a Poison or Crue show. :rant:
Title: Re: Set Design Post by: noonespecial on August 05, 2004, 01:44:57 PM I like the "keep it simple stupid" (KISS) approach...Pyro and dry ice are way over rated, I agree
Other than a couple of ramps on either side of the stage...and your rock n roll lighting rig...that's it...maybe burn some incense from the rafters (like Tom Petty does) to get that aromatherapy thing going :hihi: Title: Re: Set Design Post by: Lilljon on August 05, 2004, 01:52:59 PM I would design the stage as a cellblock. With a lot of naked chicks and thugs with guns and booze. Force GNR to dress up like Village People too.
Title: Re: Set Design Post by: Scabbie on August 05, 2004, 01:55:31 PM I forgot RUSH have Washing Machines...has anyone ever worked out why? (see the Rush In Rio dvd) Perhaps GNR could come up with something equally random
I didn't like the stage set much at Leeds...it wasn't bad, just not as good as some other bands I've seen. I know its not all about the effects, but you pay good money too see concerts and it doesn't hurt to make an effort! Title: Re: Set Design Post by: AdZ on August 05, 2004, 02:10:43 PM Like 2002 with ramps instead of steps.. those looked like a pain in the ass and more of a catwalk out to the front I guess..
Title: Re: Set Design Post by: Chunkie on August 05, 2004, 04:17:04 PM Telling u guys the thruth Pyros... well... it's boring... nowadays almost every wannabe has it. GOd dammit, Gn'R needs something new and original like... who knows... LIGHTS!!! there's not much to have now... but at the end if it would rain roses all over the stage... damn... that would ROCK!!
Title: Re: Set Design Post by: jarmo on August 05, 2004, 04:48:52 PM I agree about the pyros. From the bootlegs I've seen of the 2002 tour, the only pyro I liked was the rain effect during November Rain. It fit in my opinion. The loud bombs during Live And Let Die didn't.
/jarmo Title: Re: Set Design Post by: SOH on August 05, 2004, 05:04:03 PM A huge ass sheet of glass on top of the "mosh pit" part of the arena like in that one AC/DC video where they're playing on top of everybody, and firebreathing Chinese dragons on the sides of the stage. Wearing hockey jerseys and braids.

Title: Re: Set Design Post by: AdZ on August 05, 2004, 05:25:11 PM I liked the pyro during November Rain, and at the end of paradise city, I thought that was pretty cool.
Title: Re: Set Design Post by: Eeebs on August 05, 2004, 08:23:04 PM The front row of the arena should be dedicated to Guns N' Roses female admirers... hehe... just kidding :)
The stage should be extended forward, allowing for members to sorta come out into the audience. Jumbo screens are a must for those in the nose bleeder sections. Pyros are okay, if not over done... and yeah... the band should show up, be on time, and give one hell of a kick ass concert. Title: Re: Set Design Post by: Gunner80 on August 05, 2004, 10:51:43 PM god, I agree-pyro is just flat out cheesy. I do like the video screens and the rest of the 2002 tour look. But, NO PYRO-makes it seem like a Poison or Crue show. :rant: Please leave the Crue out of any cheese talk. :hihi:Title: Re: Set Design Post by: badapple81 on August 05, 2004, 11:02:44 PM I didn't like the steps in the 02 tour. Took a while to get used to Axl doing for example the WTTJ 'do you know where you are?', then slowly walking down the steps to do the rest of the intro..
I'd prefer it all on one level too like RIR3. Title: Re: Set Design Post by: HoldenCaulfield on August 06, 2004, 02:12:23 AM Something like the WWE SmackDown! stage, think a gigantic tv (theater screen) with a huge iron fist sticking out in the middle, shattering the screen into a broken mirror-effect, but it's still effective as one screen. That would rule. I also like laser-lights and stacked tv's, ala RIR III.

Title: Re: Set Design Post by: Gunner80 on August 07, 2004, 02:34:36 PM Didn't they have the Welcome to the Jungle monster thing? I saw it in Paris Yes. I thought that was brilliant because they always brought it out during WTTJ. |
