Nothing at all.
I just wondered where they were situated.

Once again, I think its to push the diafragma...
When I saw them last saturday, Rob leand over to the audience, smiled his cheeks upp to the ears...It caused mass hysteria (and yes, I thought I could sens an aura round his head...man I love priest so freakishly much)
But I agree that KK´s the one working hardest to please the audience.

I don't think I've noticed teleprompters, either. Don't believe they actually use them ... Remember the old days it wasn't uncommon for club bands to tape set lists or lyrics to new material on a monitor; also not uncommon to forget the beginning of a song having played it so often. LOL
btw - In Vegas, I was sitting 7 rows up behind the sound box - I could swear when Rob came out in the beguiling Nostradamus cloak and began singing, "I AM THE DARKNESS; BORN OUT OF LIGHT; I AM THE FORCE THE FIRE; THAT BURNS HERE TONIGHT ... " he was playing the song just for me, well, and for everyone there! ; )
Cheers! |

Okay, this is getting too weird Metalmaz ... Maybe you caught Rob on a bad day? ... Yes we all have them :o) ... or maybe youre just over sensitive?
Rob spent time in front of me during both shows and he looked at me, and talked to specific people in the crowd as well ... He was humorous and in a good mood, but still dignified ... oh no its that "bad" non-metal word again ... :o)
He didnt sing to the floor, yes he walked around, so that everyone could get a glimpse of him, thats SO cool of him, instead of just shake his ass in the middle of stage ...
He ACTS like a MetalGod, thats all ...

Hey Rob, if you're out there reading this, could you give 'maz here a quick glance so he/she knows you care about your fans, the audience, please?  |

He probably walks from side to side to let the audience on the extreme sides of the venue see him. Gotta be in contact with everyone in the audience at all times and let them see you as much as possible, you know. What else is he going to do while K.K and Glenn are playing some of their solos? Just stand there? [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by metalmaz from Saturday, March 07, 2009 12:23:38 PM)

I don't expect Rob to do starjumps and leap all over the place. ALL I'm saying is (and I am not the only one to have this opinion), is I find his endless tooing and froing from side to side of the stage annoying. It is most certainly not dignified and I don't understand why he needs to do it. And since when was metal dignified?
The guy is fronting a metal band for God's sake not delivering a bloody lecture at university.

As an "older" man, having accomplished so very much in his career of choice, I should think you can see clearly his more refined, even dignified approach to his stage personae? All of this is just this man's opinion, of course.

The stageshow they put on is bombastic, the lighting, smoke, scenery...how many new bands puts on a show like that?? What more do you need to add?
Also, personaly I think that Diamonds and Rust for example is a song that suits Robs nodays more darker voice better than before.

OH YEAH! Couldnt agree with you more!
And I like Halfords HEAVY DIGNITY! He simply puts dignity into another level!
Even Mr Dickinson recieved some dignitypoints just by cutting his hair ( if you look like a skoolgirl with a malfitting fringe - then givit up!!)
Tipton on the otherhand, looks real cool in his fringe!

Look, I can understand that you find the pacing somewhat taxing on your patience. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I am not trying to debate you into a cyber corner. You don't like. You said. I am fine with that. Your definition of dignity and/or what is dignified may very well not be the same as mine. In fact, if you actually read what I said, you may find that I was using illustrative phrasing to demonstrate comparative relevance.
I agree with you. His is not lecturing. Thankfully, he is not imitating Marilyn Manson, either.

Com on, Rob is 57, and thank God he dosnt strutt around like he taught he was a teenager, I cant stand it when guys at his age pop-around like they were 30 years younger than their actual age, that just becomes parody.
The reason he bends over I suspect, is to "push forward" the diafragma to ensure the quality.
The stageshow they put on is bombastic, the lighting, smoke, scenery...how many new bands puts on a show like that?? What more do you need to add?
Also, personaly I think that Diamonds and Rust for example is a song that suits Robs nodays more darker voice better than before.
But thats me... |
