Metallica And justice for all tour, the statue would crumble, light rigging would appear to collapse and leave the whole stage set-up in ruins. Looked like total chaos! Still the coolest thing I’ve ever seen at a show, and that was way back in the 1900’s.

You’re wrong. Pound for pound, CDs are easily the best in sound quality.

As far format, I couldn’t disagree more as well. If you aren’t an idiot, CDs are way easier to use than vinyl. You have to reallllly scratch them to make them not work. Vinyl takes way longer to setup. The clicks and pops aren’t worth the payoff. You can almost instantly play a song with a CD and change songs easily. If the digital age didn’t happen so quickly, CDs would be the most beloved way to listen to music.

Vinyl is so overrated, I can’t handle it. Who wants to spend $50 on a Deluxe Reisssue limited edition 10 year anniversary Vinyl from an album you’ve already listened to a million times? Stop spreading misinformation. Vinyl will die out again.

Story of the Year had one of their members regularly do a backflip off the drum riser.

Travis Barker from Blink 182 used to have a spinning drum set rig while he did a solo to a Beyoncé song.

As another guy mentioned - Phish! They had an inflatable flying whale last year at MSG. It was incredible.

Phish had all kinds of hilarious stage antics during their early tours and throughout the 90’s. It started with secret musical signals that were hidden in songs and pulled out at random where they’d suddenly launch into something like the Simpsons theme. Then there was the vacuum solo that Fishman would play throughout their career. Then the whole Gamehendge saga which was a detailed storyline with themes and characters woven through numerous songs that they only played in its entirety a handful of times. Then there were the Halloween traditions of covering famous albums in full as a “musical costume”, and the NYE tradition of 3-4 night runs at Madison Square Garden where some of their most legendary performances occurred. And all through the 90’s each decade’s tour took on an improvisational theme, so 91-93 were the secret signal years with short and fast performances/blistering solos, 94 was the bluegrass tour, 95-96 started seeing some extended improv that took songs to a completely unfamiliar place, 97-98 were porno funk, and 99 was the deep space tour which they capped off with the millennium NYE concert where the last set played continuously from 11 pm - 7 am.

Lots of great stuff to unpack there if you’re interested, if not please disregard.
