trogette Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 what even is this gig tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 No one has any idea. Including iHeart radio themselves, apparently, who've described it differently in different outlets, and postulated songs that "could" be played. Initially it was said that the entire album would be "screened" - but is there time for that in an hour, if there's performances and Q&A? And now it basically just says "first time hearing new material" but not much mention if it's ALL the material. Would be a little sad if the whole album fit into that, too.

It's been said many times the whole album will be played back (audio) for people going. Then a gig afterwards. Idk why people are so confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I'm pretty sure iHeartRadio doesn't even know. Seems like a bit of a promotional thing for iHeart to throw out before the album release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk why people are so confused Because several people have mentioned it's not long enough to support that. Although it's not official if that's the case or not.

Nobody has specified an end time though so that's not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con101 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Yeah I dont remember reading anywhere that it's only going to be an hour long, that would surprise me, regardless of what exactly is happening at the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. If the album's an hour, the gig's an hour ~ hour and a half, Q&A or whatever for maybe another 30 mins to an hour that's reasonable. This isn't gonna be an in and out thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogette Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 well there's a compulsory bag/camera/phone cloakroom for this! Not much use for updates but hopefully some folk will have news afterwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 So yes, two people in this thread have specified times, and neither of them is even the person who told me "around an hour." Although that makes sense if the band just plays, like, DI/Reapers/Psycho and the rest are played off the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the entire album is going to be played back since that's what was said multiple times. Can still end at 9 and have that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con101 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Sooo, I guess we'll have to wait until after 9 (2am here in the uk) until we get any sort of reaction. Can't see anyone daring to use their phone whilst in the venue if new material is getting played, unless it's just not being regulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I'm now picturing it as part live, part recorded... and we still don't get to hear anything about studio Reapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I could get a phone in anywhere, I bet. Of course, they'd probably just immediately confiscate it after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con101 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 All phones have to be checked in before we enter so that definitely won't be happening I see, 2am it is then. Thank god it's saturday and I can waste sleep time waiting for overblown reactions from 3000 miles away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmodius Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Quality of the recording would probably be too shit for it to matter anyway anyone with a recent iphone (somehow they have great mics) would be able to that's how movie bootleggers do it, they have a cam and an iphone and sync the audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
