Stones stage compared to Vertigo Stage...

[u2wedge]

What do you think?

 

[Chizip]

id have to see what it looked like with all the effects going

 

[u2wedge]

Imagine having to take apart and put together that thing every show...

I'm sure it's off the hook when it's lit up, but it just seems like a big knot of a setup.

Even ZooTV seemed a simpler design...

 

[Chizip]

yeah it seems like a big clusterfuck just sitting there like that

but id have to imagine when its going full force it could be pretty cool. if those gray extension things were actually video walls now that would be sweet

 

[claytons edge]

It look's like an apartment building were the enginerr went for an extended lunch break with the managing director of guinness

 

[kennerado]

Did Williams design this aswell? Looks pretty awesome.

 

[financeguy]

what are the bets one of them will drop dead of a heart attack on stage during the tour?

Tasteless I know, but so are some of their lyrics to be honest.

 

[VertigoGal]

^

I think the Stones' stage is pretty ugly to be honest, but I know nothing about stage design and have no clue what it will look like with the lights.

 

[claytons edge]

Dont say it look's good,where the fuck is the stage,it look's ridiculous,especially when the lead singer could swallow a whale

 

[Axver]

I really don't like that stage. It looks like a mishmash of things slapped together for no real purpose. At least the Eurigo stage looked good. This just looks like a stage made big for the sake of making a big stage.

Why not just rent out a multi deck car park?....Stick some speakers on the sides and there you go.

 

[kennerado]

It does look like a carpark haha

 

[claytons edge]

Can you pull your merc up and relax up top deck while anna nicole gives you relaxing massage,like she gave the hubby

That is so the best commentary I have read about this stage.

 

[cmb737]

meanwhile,

Red Sox lose 2 out of 3 to the Angels while the Stones are at Fenway.

 

[Lila64]

perhaps they are just trying to outdo U2

 

[bono_man2002]

Looks the show is sold out.

 

[I'm Ready]

i wouldnt waste time worrying about the stage

i worry about the sound system

Another pic of the stage:

 

[Lila64]

that's only their stadium set-up. What will the set up be for smaller venues, like the Hollywood Bowl, which probably seats about 20,000 (not a great place especially if you are in the back)

 

[bono_man2002]

Luna Park...or a Car Park....I can't Decide.

 

[Lila64]

I was just about to post something similar. Here it is anyways...

Oh dear Lord...

Another pic of the stage:

That mouth and tongue is easily one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. And it looks even more like a car park than it did in the last picture!

 

[quadcaster]

that stage has gay written all over it

dont get me wrong, i dont mind the stones... but fuck thats a shit stage lol

and i agree, zoo tv seems simpiler then that monstrosity!

 

[mabel]

Ugh, it's hideous! And I'm so not thrilled thinking about my shitty side-rear seats at MSG. I'm not going to see anything w/ this monstrosity...though, I'm wondering if the arenas will have a different setup, because apparetnly people are going to be sitting in the carpark, and they only sold those/had entries to win spots for the stadium shows.

 

[ramblin rose]

It really does look horrible and the psychodelic tongue does nothing for it.

I guess if those slats are screens it might look cool when in use. The road crew must despise this stage.

 

[U2Man]

Those guys need to get themselves together. That's the ugliest stage ever.

 

[mabel]

The thing I don't understand is why didn't they set up the stage against the Green Monster?? Did they sell those seats that are directly behind the stage (especially noticable in Lila's pic)? God, even those would appear to be worse that what I've got for MSG (if it's the same setup). I don't see how they can park (har har) people right behind that clunky wall, but it'd seem an awful waste of seats to leave them empty. I just don't know. Looks like a big ol' mess to me!

 

[u2wedge]

Do those 'wings' on the side move up and down?

Look at the first pic I posted compared to the pic Lila posted.

Looks like the whole thing might move around...
