Would you pay to see this on stage"?

[bumperbass]

I would go to see band movie and because "you get to see them go into the box". Seriously!, when have you ever had a chance to witness your favorite band going into a box?, plus its a band movie. Brilliant!.

What he means is, if you go see a band in a movie, it will probably be in 16:9 format, which is letterbox. That is the box he's talking about. A Letter Box.

and outcomes the hard rock band onto the stage, they all waive to the crowd, and then go into an onstage, isolation booth that replicates the bands normal rehearsal room with all the soundproof trimmings, maybe their favorite couch, lamp, fridge , no windows... and they have the band micd up and CCTV that is played to the audience as a movie with good mixed audio and the band gets to be private, and comfortable as home, you don't get to see them, but you saw them go inside their onstage booth, and think they "probably "are in there doing what the screen and sound says"

I've kind of seen that. I saw Sia a couple years back, she has severe anxiety and performs in a wig in front of her face, with no live band on stage. The stage show was very entertaining (other dancers, actors, etc), but there is pretty much no way to ensure you're hearing her sing. I've seen her actually sing in live videos before, she's quite incredible, but cant be sure if I did or not that night. I didn't pay a ton, and the stage spectacle was impressive, but probably wouldn't pay again to see her unless she interacts more. Nothing against mental illness, I've got severe anxiety issues myself, and i did like the show, just wasn't super compelling.

Band in A Box? I'm still trying to figure out which poll option best expresses "carrots"....

What if, offstage, there were giant projectors running off a feed from a web server that people pay to log into to watch the band on TV, playing for an audience on tv?

"go to not see band?"

No, I would never support a fascist group.

Reminds me of seeing Tool a few years back. Justin was amazing. Maynard hit in the back of stage with no lights on him in black clothing. What a letdown.

I'm so confused.

Your profile says you're in California. Are you from there? Is English your first language? Sometimes your posts are disjointed and hard to understand and I'm wondering if it's a language issue.

Haven't you figured it out yet? Rumbledore is a spambot, not a human being. It's an AI experiment. Why even reply? If we stop replying, it might stop creating posts. Maybe. Hopefully.

I think what he is trying to describe is simply so bizarre that it is as hard to understand as it is to write about it.

Well, as long as one of the first things they do is "waive" to the crowd, then the crowd has no "right" to expect anything resembling an actual performance.......

Spambot? Is that somewhere in between an Automaton and a Replicant?
Maybe we could pull his battery pack out and convince him that he just got a job promotion to sex robot for a necrophiliac!







Oh, and I actually prefer those 6/8 heavy bands over those simpleton 3/4 bands. They don't count for anything!

 

[theinfamous]

Absolutely not. The reason you pay to see live music is to see the band live. Although, I have to say I saw deathklok play on a completely dark stage and it was pretty cool, but it would have been better if I could have seen the musicians. (It was a free concert though) I need to see them actually doing it for it to be really interesting to me.

I don't know about all that but I've seen many bands have props onstage, from Rush with washing machines to limp bizkit with a giant toilet, and more specifically some things that the audience may see as purely decorative that might actually have a function. An example would be Deftones. I've seen them a dozen times and when I've seen them at the house of blues I'm ussually in the VIP, front row upper deck, looking down towards the stage. Every time I've seen them play there they've had these rugs. Which in a way the OPs post reminded me of.

Some think it's to keep them from slipping, some think it's purely decorative, I suspect it might have something to do with taking care of their backs on long tours. If you have a rug with a decent thickness or even a thin rug over a soft pad on the floor it is easier on your back to stand on something soft holding a bass or a guitar as opposed to a hard surface. A couch is probably a bad idea for some styles. In rock and metal music for example it's perfectly fine to pull up a stool and have a seat for an acoustic balled. Or even a full acoustic set. But I think James Hetfield from Metallica handles the sitting down thing best. I always enjoying seeing how far he can kick the stool he uses for the soft part of nothing else matters when the solo kicks in lol.

Fame made Maynard weird.

 

[el murdoque]

Let's take this one step further:

The band goes in the box and plays the music in the emulated comfort of their home while I am standing in a sweaty, uncomfortable crowd facing a box and a screen on stage?

How about the band goes for 100% authenticity and instead of a replica on stage, they use their real room at home. Since their sound is mic'ed and mixed, one could just record the results. And when there is no pressure regarding time, they could even do each song multiple times - as long as it takes to get one flawless version they all deem perfect. Once they have recorded the entire set in such manner, they could then proceed and offer it to the fans as audiofiles or CDs or LPs or whatnot - so the fans do not have to stand in a sweaty crowd, but will be able to enjoy the experience in the quiet comforts of their homes.

That would be quite an experiment I'd be willing to partake in!

I did not see it move but it would make a nice carpet pattern for a lobby.

Boy, that would really tie the room together.

 

[thedukeofno]

I voted "person's choice", because, for example, what's the price, among other variables...

Tons of people paid to see Pink Floyd music being played by a surrogate band, while the actually band slowly disappeared behind a wall. Call it performance art.
