Fake Marshal stacks on stage

[Hellbat]

is the band in the photo KREATOR? just asking if anyone knows ,looks like mille petrozza

I believe the band in that pic is Immortal.

This is the first bad fake backline I remember seeing. I mean it looks good to people who may not know better, but yeah...

[Hellbat]

On a side note, look at that lighting rig! Remember the old days when lights were a single color and didn't move? It sure looked like more of a spectacle than now where you'll usually have like 3 bars with 6 varilights on each bar hehe.

[MartinBarre]

Everyone does it, yet so many fucktards give Immortal a hard time for not being "tr00".

[MartinBarre]

Even more stupid than a fake wall of stacks is Yngwies REAL wall of Marshall heads.

[axmann]

Nobody but the fans want to stand directly in front of a real backline cranked up. :P

I feel like a grumpy old man for saying that.

Nah, not grumpy, just smarter.

I still remember when I first heard about this. Don't remember how old I was, but it was like "what???" Kind of like finding out that Santa is not real.

[Cygnus X1]

I knew it the first time I saw Judas Priest way back when Rob rode his Harley from
between the stacks, they opened outwards like a giant double door.

It was so cool it didn't matter though.

Kind of like finding out that Santa is not real.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!?!? Santa's not real? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.......... :sick:

[RacerX]

Yeah really, how about a spoiler alert, mannnnnnnn

[Snoogans]

I remember seeing Status Quo* on a TV show where they showed off their backline, which was a curtain painted to look like a wall of Marshalls.

*I can't stand bloody Status Quo

I've heard it's Immortal.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Kerry King from Slayer said all his cabs were used, why you would need that nowadays is beyond me.

[javert]

Yeah, that could be Immortal... Saw them at Copenhell back in June.

I've heard stories that Ozzy didn't really have a stone castle on stage. And Iron Maiden's Powerslave set wasn't really Egyptian sandstone with hieroglyphs.

[veemagic]

This thread sucks! Is nothing sacred anymore? First the stacks, then Santa, and now thanks to Gary for ruining Ozzy and Maiden for me too! I say be thankful we still have Yngwie.
