I don't know if that's possible. Have you had a look at his drum monitors? He's already got a personal PA that would be suitable for a club or small theatre.
When Showco (from Dallas) was the sound company, they used to call his monitors the "Texas Headphones".
apparently i dont knoow f all, Junior! I didnt think of it that way. Just kinda thinkin' turn the mics up on his kit to help but i guess you got a point there. Im not being heavy about that anyway, just kinda brain storming. i'll stop my whining before Busty pulls a heavy again! hehe

Speaking of hearing damage, nows a good time to ask this. Danny was wearing big yellow ear plugs on the last tour. it was the first time ive ever seen anything in his ears. Possibly IEM's as some said, but if he likes those big monitors (i've def seen those!) im not sure he'd bother with in ears.

Apparently they had a minor hiccup in Sydney when they debuted it towards the end of the song. We got the second attempt at it in Melbourne and to my ears it was pretty fucking flawless hey.

Thanks for this mxrm. I like the idea because Gibson Custom flying Vs are awesome looking. But I have never seen Adam play a Gibson Flying V. Will he start playing one of these live soon? Otherwise, why would there be an Adam Jones Gibson Custom Flying V silverburst?
Not sure exactly what's going on with the Flying V. Interesting indeed.

A follow-up on the replacement of those stolen guitars.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Tool.

It was humorous to me since it's been a running thing for probably 20 years amongst those of us out there with it. I wouldn't expect anyone else to notice unless they've been staring at his monitors a lot. Their stage volume in general has always been quite loud. Adam and Justin's rigs are loud. Danny's kit is loud. It's f'n loud up there.
I think the Adam and Justin volume has a lot to do with why Maynard doesn't stand in front of their rigs anymore, and if you look at recent years (before the new 2019 stage setup) there had been plexiglass (or perspex, if you will) between Danny and Maynard. The glass was mostly the idea of the sound department. Since Maynard was standing right next to Danny, his mic was picking up a lot of Danny. Mostly cymbals. Isolating him from all of that environmental sound make the sound guy's job a lot easier, and I'd think it makes Maynard's job easier since he can probably sing a little quieter than he used to and not stress his throat. The new stage has him a bit further away from Danny, except for the few times he wanders onto Danny's riser.

I know the sound crew were trying to get the whole band on IEM's, and I'm pretty sure Danny at least tried it for a while. I don't know if they all switched or not. Maynard has been on them since the start of the Lateralus tour, and I think he used them before that on the first APC tours.

Thanks for the info! I thought IEMs would be used by everybody these days?
I hope at least they have a very good (!) hearing protection :shock:

Holy crap! your on a roll! thanks for answering all this. ''Texas Headphones'' haha, that is good! i was too busy saying the other stuff but thats funny. Also, with his big yellow earplugs/iem's maybe. i thought he finally switched to save his hearing. That one guy Mike Oliveria or whatever his last name is, the guy in the wheel chair, you've probably heard of him. He was in the loft a bunch of years ago and he mentioned something about Danny always going ''whaaat?? ,whaat?'' ha, he clearly has damage for sure. Interesting about the cymbols and other noise making M lower in the mix. I hate to say it but its not really working, not cause it doesnt work but hes pretty low still and has been for a long time, ah well, age and all that. I just figured they could turn the volume up on whatever person to make them louder, thats what i meant about Danny, if he doesnt hit as hard after this stuff hes going thru but like your saying, it sounds like theres a bit more to it then just that.

Nice your busy with that job too. Things are moving along with the vaccines as well. Stay safe!

Deadset? Probably picked the perfect time to see em play it then. I remember their brisbane set being amazing following a dismal bdo performance 10 years ago. They seem to step up strongly following a fuck up.

Haha! No one here is ignoring you BOB. The only main thing thing I have to say that I completely disagree with you is.. you don't think the song 7empest is not one of the bands elite songs. I love third eye, but I think 7empest is their KING KONG OF ALL THEIR SONGS!. I can not stop listening to it!
