Best Live Band Ever

the claw is ridiculous in my opinion, and that talk about the reason to built it is to get closer to the crowd is just bullshit.. i feel like the reason behind it is something like they saying "WE CAN DO IT".. this current stage is just as excentric as that one on Popmart tour, if not worse!

they've had the perfect stage at the Elevation tour.. i quite miss it to be honest (was watching the Boston and Slane dvds yesterday) and even the stage from the Vertigo tour was better than the claw

This new stage harks back to the nineties with a bit of risk taking, a huge amount of 'fucking-well-look-at-us' and more futuristic. Lovely.

i'm sure the claw must be something quite impressive to see/watch
but it kinda takes off the focus on the music

i'm pretty excited to see them live here in south america next year
but the claw is something 100% unnecessary in my opinion.. but i do respect the people who likes it

It doesn't, when you're on GA and close to the stage, you don't even notice the Claw, it's seems so natural.

If you're on GA but far away from stage, you're not in position not to see anything, you see the screen and lightshow clearly.

So I think Claw is the first stage in stadium r'n'r history that really really works.

what about those who are behind the stage? they probably have the worst concert of their lives

Different songs: 17

I repeat:

17!


That is a quality of a band to be able to change a setlist so dramatically, whether the songs are shite or not.

Springsteen can do this too.

U2 cannot, but that isn't an issue since their songs are individual masterpieces
