I mean, it's not like a lot of bands don't do stuff like this, but I just thought the pic was funny....I'm not bagging on Immortal...

D'OH!! Busted!! Immortal's live amp setup... 201269

I seem to remember Tommy Lee saying that Motley did something like that back in the early days. They made fake amps to stack up on stage.

Still funny though.

Would be awesome if a big gust of wind came up from behind. Could not happen to a better band!

KISS has done this for years. But the pic is pretty funny.

Why don't bands just use real amps? Is there a sound ordinance or something?

That many real cabinets would be A- very expensive on several levels and B- way too loud if you actually used them all. Back in the old days, it would take that many cabinets to fill an arena with sound and that look became part of Rock And Roll lore...it's all for show.

With the intricate PA systems we have these days, bands don't even need amps at all....but how would an empty stage look? Not very Rock And Roll...

that'll save some money, who needs cabinets? Engl amps are really good though. I love them.

Yeah, they're good. I'm looking at getting one of those Ritchie Blackmore signature amps. It's pretty versatile.

You mean to tell me that the giant wall of amps isn't real?

I hope no one took me seriously, it was a joke. I have met some people who would totally buy the whole fake wall of amps and they would be offended to discover it wasn't real.
