Sign in to disble this ad
So yesterday coming back from Metallica I mentioned to my friend how I thought the fact that they used lasers was kinda lame, imo laser dont belong at a thrash (or what was thrash haha) concert, which got me thinking what other other hard rock/metal bands have used them?
LASERS SHOULD BE RESERVED FOR RUSH ONLY  |

It was cool, lighting ads a lot to a show, especially if you band is all either high or on psychedelics. They are just following the the trend set forth at the old acid tests in the 60's.
Awesome music + swirly/glowy/blinky **** = happy fans |

I see the trance thing coming out of the party drug shift, from LSD back in the day to E now (albeit with that whole coke and speed thing in between). From what I understand about E that Unce, Unce, Unce isn't about the sound its about the feeling of the bass vibrating your body, and the steady-ness of it suits the need to give everyone in the room friction burns.
Just like when the drug of the day was LSD the music needed to be free and spacey and improvisational so your mind could follow something rather than turn inwards on itself....and so you can dance like a mentally disabled bird underwater.
Music and drugs always seem to evolve in response to one another.

They had white screens that they would lay over the stage, and the same graphics that were being played on the screens behind the band were also being played below the band.
The other thing about their show was that the lasers and lights started out fairly restrained, and by the end of the show it was totally above and beyond the call of duty. |

At the risk of angering the Metalli-Flock, there's a host of more "unmetal" things they're guilty of besides a laser show.
