Let's give the Tour's ginormous tent-thing a name! - The Claw...it's official

[ZooMacPhisto800]

In this thread you will provide suggestions for the ginormous tent-thing that will be an integral part of the 2009+ stadium tour. It's bound to be dubbed something at some point, so let's take some initiative and do it ourselves.

I suggest:

The Guantaflope



Example:

Q. Do you know where the Guantaflope will be positioned for the TO show?

A. No, it hasn't been specified yet.


Q. Do you think I'll be able to see if I'm angled directly at one of the Guantaflopesupports?

A. Yes, the Guantaflopesupports are very thin.

SPIDER THING. AKA, SPIDER.



Has to be said in capitals too.

Spaceship. Spider.

I heard its being called a CRAB.

 

[randhail]

The Diaphragm.

I thought the same thing, but a Spider has 8 legs, the thing we're trying to name only has 4...

I want to see U2's crabs. etc.

Personally, I'm liking PIA (pain in the arse), because it's looking to be complicated and mess quite a bit with any chance of decent viewing.

The giant mechanical spider thing Kenneth Branagh rode in "wild wild west"*

aka, tgmstkbriwww


*worst. movie. ever.

 

[RedRocksU2]

The MotherFuckingBigCrab tour.

It had to be said.

And that's where we come in...

The tour hasn't even started yet. A kid might officially be called "Jerome", but if everyone calls him "Hans Solo" from 2 months forward, then Jerome's his name. Are we going to sit down and let this silly "crab" name be used or are we going to STAND UP and come up with a better name? A name sealed by interference.com? We just have to all collectively refer to it as whatever name we like...

Let's do this! NAMES PEOPLE, I NEED NAMES!!!

Don't worry, the GUANTAFLOPESUPPORTS are very thin.

Dude, guantaflopessswhatever is too long.

Going with the crab analogy, if we merged it with the Vertigo stadium stage with the 2 catwalks it might look quite like one. Perhaps one of the band members has a crab fetish we do not know about.

I betcha it's Adam.

Oh no, no, no... don't lend any credibility to the Crab name... there's none to be found. Let's not make the Crab a suitable name due to our generous interpretations of what extra appendages a crab may or may not have.



And Sicy, Guantaflope is intentionally long and intimidating-sounding precisely to connote the giant tent-thing and this tour.

Personally, I think your name sucks, but that's just me.

What do you think? I'm so excited knowing no matter where i sit, there's a good chance i'll now get to enjoy a huge pole in my way off and on, cool, and thanks for continuing to fix things that aren't broken U2.

Imagine if the Guantaflope started making scary noises like the aliens in "War of the Worlds" (featuring T. Cruise)... I don't even like to think about it.

The chances of any of us getting in to the Guantoflope-crab-spider-tent-thing are a million to one they said.....

 

[Bonogirl777]

um...are we actually gonna name the fuckin' thing?

I for one, am not a fan of "Guantaflope".
