All time greatest stage props
Name your favorites.
Thinking back over all those years of awesome show productions, this should be a loooong list.
Couple top of my mind:
1. I’ve always loved the original lighted KISS sign… the one that folded up or down.
2. AC/DC Black Ice tour… that ~10 story inflatable Rosie riding the steam train wearing devil horns. Amazing. The Rivrr Plate crowd went berserk.
Whatch’all got?

I reckon all songs are folk songs. I ain't never heard no horses singing any.

Re: All time greatest stage props
Several come to mind. A few of these were groundbreaking and considered really amazing when they appeared.
Pink Floyd: The flying pig, the crashing airplane, "Mr. Screen", and the wall built across the stage.
AC/DC: The cannons and bell.
Alice Cooper: Gallows and guillotine.
Iron Maiden: Eddie.
Ace Frehley: The smoking Les Paul.
U2: The car headlights lighting rig from the Zoo TV Tour.

Didn't GWAR used to have a big cock that shot jizz all over the audience? That has to be in the top three.

Shit, when you get down to it, the whole goddamn band was a stage prop.

They're like ignorant refugees scavenging through a dump, located next to a free food pantry.
There's lots of available nutrition nearby, but they prefer the garbage because it's what they grew up on.

Re: All time greatest stage props
Slayer used to have these two upside-down crosses on stage with lights that were about a million lumens or whatever.
They would randomly shine them in the middle of a show so that when you closed your eyes, you saw upside-down crosses in you eyelids. Ooh. Scary!

Re: All time greatest stage props
It's just some funny shit, how we all made fun of the spider when they were using it, then here we are years later with a Kisstard bringing it up as one of the greatest stage props ever.
...and I mean, ffs, it's not like Bowie didn't do a much larger spider stage decades earlier.
But ooooh. Kith.
