jonisdead Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The visuals would be cool if they were used during a song that's remotely interesting live. ...and if it didn't involve the stage being dark, making the band barely visible. .....and if it didn't involve two of the band members standing perfectly still throughout the entire song. Basically, drop UD. Yeah but have you seen it live? Nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The visuals for UD are great but they could be used for literally any other song on the planet since they're dynamic. I'm afraid the way it's performed gives away too clearly the fact it's going to remain untouched in the future setlists: Dom playing the electronic drums precisely on one side, Matt wearing those glasses with flashing LEDs... All the details point towards this conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I meant actually seen the visuals paired with the song you're criticizing during the arena tour ...? I praised the visuals themselves (well, the curtain stuff at least, not a fan of how dim the stage seems). I said they were wasted on a boring live song.

Alexander DeLarge Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Best cut the set short so everyone can get home safe! this is the most realistic outcome tbh Do you guys think they're gonna reschedule or something? Because Valley View is like a block away from the ocean and they're putting up sandbags to prevent the 20ft waves from crashing down on the streets, and the rain is flooding everything.

heyjackk Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Pretty much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spd9hX9i-nQ is this tour literally just a gimmick the visuals themselves are pretty sick i'm just tired of UD live when it comes at the expense of something like Stockholm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Little Animal Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 the visuals themselves are pretty sick Only when they work though. The Oakland show had half the panels freeze and then go dark. Causing Chris to be invisible and Forcing Matt to stay on one side. Imagine the boredom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Causing Chris to be invisible and Forcing Matt to stay on one side. Imagine the boredom. oh jesus In a way, I feel sorry for the band with all these technical problems because I get that they're just trying to put on an impressive, visually ambitious show but I think there comes a point where you've got to realise that it's having too much of an affect on concerts and just isn't worth the hassle. There are far easier ways to put on an impressive visual show without it proving troublesome for the band, restricting of the setlists/performance or distracting for the audience. Not to sound harsh but I hope they learn a lesson from all this and scale it back in future, doubt it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I mean we don't really know how much they tried etc but it really did seem like they hadn't actually planned that things weren't gonna go perfectly.

Dominic. Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Really not been keen on UD live, especially since they changed the strings to sound like Super Mario Desires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lliillaa Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 They should at least play Apocalypse Please. It must feel like it down there. Haha, wish we would've gotten Apocalypse Please, but it seems he decided to just treat one person to a guitar instead. The weather ended up not bad. We got there around 1pm and there wasn't any rain in line until just before they let us in. By then I was under the eaves of the building because we were there early, but it didn't look to be a long rain, or very hard. It was really cold and windy all day though and the four of us traded off waiting and going to the car. I just kept thinking of concerts in places where it snows and seeing people wait overnight in the snow and figured we had it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander DeLarge Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I really doubt anyone kept a guitar. Especially when it was kicked off the end of the stage where it's literally the place where you go as a last resort because you showed up ten minutes before the gig.

Alexander DeLarge Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I certainly hope they didn't keep it. Rewarding those for having the worst spot in the venue is just nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
