That's why in order to have 4 of them I need to put them all into one file.

I look forward to this

 

[God Part III]

Not guantaflope, it's too long and it sounds ridiculous.

Bomb shelter made sense. None of the names make sense.

I go for spaceship.

 

[bizkitgto]

Since it looks so much like LAX/moon-station, why not call it the: ZOO STATION

 

[Popmart Shopper]

Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen

 

[digitize]

The LEM.

 

[nirniva]

What about the Super Aggro Crag?

Let's go to Mo with the leaderboard...MO!

Nah-nah...nah-nah-nah-nah-nah! GUTS!
I loved that show when I was a little kid!

Oh wait, I have an animated version too.

All. Hail. THE BONOCRAB.

 

[whitehead]

not a single Thunder Dome reference?

We all went BEYOND THUNDER DOME! I do like that one though.

To me looks like U2 are trapped in one of those claw game machines with the stuffed animals and Ipods...err, Blackberries!

 

[zooropop40]

oh god... i think I am going to have nightmares...

that giant stage coming to life and Bono's head popping out the top with eyeliner coming to claw me and possibly eat me...

On the upside, we now know what the "skyscraper" thing on top of the stage is for.

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

I heard its being called a CRAB.

BAT = Big Ass Tent

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

I like Sicy's animated Bono thingie... BONO-CRABULUS

 

[sandc]

Sorry guys...look on Willie's post on u2.com...it has already been named..................................The Claw

 

[sandc]

The Claw...it's official

See WIllie's diary on u2.com, as to the name of the new stage

 

[Chizip]

wow im amazing

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Seriously, Chizip? You called it?
Wow! You tape shows and name pits too?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

you name your pits? freak.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

you name your pits? freak.

I like to think that Willie took a look at this forum before unilaterally overriding any existing "Crab"-momentum. Am I a dreamer? Maybe. I don't think so. I'm just a poster that had an idea, a big idea, and I saw it trough. Am I disappointed? Not at all. Would I do it again? You bet ya. I'm just happy that "Crab" is gone and I'd like to thank those interferencers who voted for it ("Claw"), who truly showed that it was a good name. It came in 2nd place in our Poll, but I think that's because some were influenced by the "Crab"s headstart.

 

[powerhour24]

Dr. Claw?

 

[OrARoundabout]

Sounds scary...LOLOLO

 

[Sicy]

One thing which has made me laugh is that the stage design has already earned its nickname. Above the performing area is a huge four-legged structure that effectively straddles the football field, from which all the paraphernalia of the show is suspended (this in lieu of a roof, being outdoors and all.) I've been working on this, off and on, for about two and a half years now, having shown the band the first drawings whilst we were still on the Vertigo tour. During the evolution of the structure it has, at various times, come to resemble several different things; a dockyard crane, a cactus, a giant crab, the Theme Building at Los Angeles airport. It went very Louise Bourgeois for a while, then a little space age. In its final incarnation though, its sleek curves and four talon-like legs have been dubbed "The Claw", remembering the fairground machine from Toy Story. This really amused me, spawning a fantasy of it descending and grabbing members of the audience, all of whom, presumably, would have three eyes.

Total Cover-Up... dropping both the "Crab" and "Claw" names in the same text... the timing of it all... just so unlikely. Whoever came up with "The Claw" (I mean the Interference member who did) should be given some sort of award.

i agree

free gold member status perhaps?

 

[Sicy]

The diary entry was posted on March 4th. That was way before that thread was posted. No awards for anyone.

 

[ZooMacPhisto800]

I second that motion.

 

[ZooMacPhisto800]

Can someone vouch for the diary posting's posting on March 4th? I didn't see it. I suspect that it was added today and backdated.
