    well on some songs the lighting is still pretty much nothing but a coloured background anyway, so not that much has changed

    others like Go had mental flashes and strobes and it worked brilliantly for that song. Inside Job, Black, Severed Hand had lighting that really stood out for the way it fit the mood of the songs on last tour imo.....

    But most the songs had really simple lighting. there was the waves background instead of a blank screen, but the lighting itself wasnt anything overly distracting.


    anyone here ever seen DJ YODA? thats a distracting VA show. you just end up watching all the videos while you're dancing - great fun, but hugely distracting from the music!

    i think some of you have it wrong.
    lights and lasers can add to the mood and effect of the music.
    the green lasers during inside job were fucking AMAZING in my opinion.
    made the song all the more drifty.
    then your crazy flashing lights and all that good stuff adds to the fast momentum of heavier tunes. i dig the light stuff, and i would LOVE to see them green lasers again.

    I agree about the lasers on inside job...that was pretty cool and went along perfect with the song. I like the huge plain spotlights during the Hallelujah part of DTE as well
    as long as they don't add pyro and explosions, and eddie riding around the arena on a huge inflatable microphone, I am alright with it.
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    exactly. radiohead's lights really help add to the mood of the song, I love em.

    On the 06 tour, they had very cool green lights (lasers? I don't know) during Severed Hand, and I liked them, but plenty of people on here complained. I guess it can go overboard, but if its done in an interesting way and not excessively it can add to the experience.

    I loved the lights during Inside Job too, I love how Ed told everyone to light up right before too, awesome show
