Ha thats the crowd at the BACK by the sound booth, depending on the size of the venue thats often where to "too cool to have fun" crowd hang out.

I've seen this live, its mesmerizing.

Yup, I still love them. Just saying not the most impressive light show I've ever seen. I need more than just violent flashing.

Tool has an amazing light show too.

Fuck. FUCK. :lol:


I remember hearing before he apparently doesn't even know much of anything about lighting, he just know their songs really well. :lol:

...it's kind of depressing to realize I'm not a good enough a musician to play the lights.

Shit that is crazy... I thought for sure they had the lights triggered by the kick drum or through midi or something.

I wonder what kinda mix he gets through his monitors lol... probably mostly kick.
