Metal Sludge Gossip Board

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?

Stonehenge

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.

Stone 'enge, obv.

Those suckers took up a good portion of a semi trailer.

Best show I've even been to. Perfect sound system.

Fuck I hate Kisstards.

Ronnie the Midget. (yes, it's a prop, midgets ain't human beings)

Risingfarce clearly doesn't understand the difference between a "stage prop" and some lights and flashpots. Ok, Mi$$ had some platforms that went up and down, so "woo!" to that

Apparently pitbulls hate them too.

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.

That may be the most accurate Kiss observation i've ever read. Tip o the hat, good sir.

Motorhead's bomber. /thread

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!

Why thank you kindly. Your intellect is exceeded only by your good manners.

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.
