New ideas for theatrics
Posted: Sat Apr 08, 2023 2:57 am
Hi Dennis! I can't believe i'm actually writing you. I really admire you as a bassist and as an artist in general. Your type of creativity always resonate with me since i come from a visual art background too. Luney Tune it's amazing. Killer it's just pure genius. I've read you used to write about your dreams, and that makes it even greater.
This will be freaky (what a surprise) but i keep having this recurrent dream about me creating and producing new ideas for props and numbers for an AC show. There's so many effects i would like to make!
For instance, during the song Caffeine i would have Mr Furnier with a special inflatable vest under the clothing. Then some other character brings a giant kettle with a big firemen hose, and puts it into his mouth. The real end gets connected into the vest, and they start pumping coffee into him, Naked Gun style. And then BOOM, everyone gets soaked in brown liquid.
Anyway, i know the props were always thought by the whole band, (i wish there would be more footage of the Battle Axe show), and i read the idea of the blood-tainted shirt was yours, so that sparked the question (actually there are two):
a. if you had unlimited budget and no other limitation whatsoever, what ideas would you try in a shock rock show? either AC, yours or other artists.
b. are there any theatrics from other groups that have caught your attention or made an impression? Are you familiar with Rammstein for example?
A big salute from Argentina!
