Guantaflope? I absolutely love this word.

Has the "Glass Spider" name ever been used before?

David Bowie had the Glass Spider Tour in 1987 I believe it was.
That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this U2 stage set up. He had a giant glass spider draped over the stage. It was at one end of the stadium, not 360 degrees, but otherwise kind of similar looking.

ETA:

I think thats a picture of the arena version, stadium version was of course bigger.

I'm a sarcastic Bowie fan. But it should be noted that Willie Williams did the Glass Spider tour as well as other members of u2's current stage design squad.

Ah, sarcasm is so tough to guage over the web. (see what I did there?)

I thought the same thing when i saw it. I remember the bowie tour too. I was just a kid, but my mom is a huge fan and went. He has a thick scottish accent, so she told security that she came all the way from scotland just to see the concert (we really lived about 25 mins away from toronto at the time) and he let her right up front lol. Sneaky lady!

OK People, it's time to translate all this talk into action! We need to start plugging our chosen name (ex. Guantaflope) as much as possible. You just have to be in agreement that the name "Crab" is lame and gives off scary vibes. I'm also convinced that a more positive name will contribute to a more positive experience for all...

Let's know that the Guantaflope* was named here, at interference.com.





* Sub in other name if appropriate

How about a poll? I'm convinced BIG JIM will come out on top
