Members sonaboy Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 quite a complex stage setup. LOTS of guitars - SG's, Strats, Starcaster, Tele's. i couldn't get close enough to see FX, which sucks, because the guy who played the Tele all night was doing some KILLER filter and delay work during a few of the newer material off of Mr. Beast and Happy Music. they had a computer program (probably Nuendo) hooked up to a vocal mic and some drum triggers. that was probably my fave part. Acid Food sounded brilliant. the light show was pretty good - i had heard some people say it was amazing, but i wouldn't say it's any more complex than what your normal dance club has going. some rotating floods, some colored halogens and some fog. still, it was nice. saw LOTS OF PEOPLE STICKING THEIR FINGERS IN THEIR EARS. damn those boys are loud as {censored}. i wore my plugs. i'm glad i remembered them. GO SEE THIS BAND!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ode2no1 Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 see the thing about taking the train is that its like a 12 hour trip while driving would be about 6 hours. i also dont like the idea of not having a car while there. as long as we can get maybe 2 more people to go with us it shouldnt be TOO expensive.

Members ode2no1 Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 really? im not a huge fan of public transportation....but then again i dont even like when friends drive me whenever we go out. i guess i like knowing that if i need to i could leave whenever i feel like it....or in the case of a train....i can stop anywhere or anytime. plus i dont even have a laptop so sitting in a train for 12 hours...i'd probably die of boredom.

AC outlets at every seat, snack bar, great views.LA to San Fran is $55 each way. it might be cheaper to drive if you have other people coming, but if you don't want to rent a hotel room, the train kicks ass because you can party at the show and then snooze all the way home that night. and i just noticed that there's a 12 hour train, and a 7 hour train.the 7 hour train is $6512 hour is $55.

Members ode2no1 Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 hmm....so they allow you to bring alcohol on the train? or did you have to be sneaky about it? but yea, if 4 of us go then itll be a bit cheaper to drive....and a hotel wouldnt be bad split 4 ways either. its too bad my gf HAS to work sundays....the show is on a saturday so it would be cool to get there friday and head back sunday night...but she has to be at work around noon, which means getting up pretty damn early on sunday.

Members Six Degrees Posted May 7, 2006 Members Share Posted May 7, 2006 I saw them in Austin last night. Really good show, but Jesus, those guys are LOUD. I had the plugs in at the beginning and thought about taking them out...then they played Killing All the Flies and I changed my mind. I had a great time though! -SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
