Default Pyrotechnics and you!

Has anyone used stage pyrotechnics to awe the crowd thru fire? Apparently pyrotechnics arnt just for pyros anymore! I heard a story the the Nuge shot a flaming arrow at a deer on stage then devoured its carcas after cooking it with some stage pyrotechnics. Is this true? I mean, he is the motor city madman!

i hear that he shoots flaming arrows at a plastic deer; madman or not, those flares are usually sulphur, probably verry toxic to cook with!

what i want to see is some shredder install flame throwers on his speaker cabs. I mean whenever he bass solos the actual cab would rhythmically punch out flames from his speaker holes in tune with his I-IV-V sucky scale solo.

If you've seen The Kids are Alright, The Who documentary, It opens with My Generation. At the end of the song when they are smashing the gear there is a big explosion. Keith Moon wasn't satisfied with the amount of gunpowder put in his kickdrum by the pyro tech. So when no one was paying attention he added more himself. The explosion is most likely partially responsible for Pete's hearing loss. So kids, be careful when making your own explosives. They could work TOO good!

actually, the hearing loss was due to roger daltrey's monitors; pete said that when roger screamed, or belted out, he would get it right in the ear. this was at one time (before man'o war who currently holds the title) the loudest band in the world; their monitors must have been insane. and the performance of "my generation" was from the smother's brothers comedy hour. in rehersal, they put in a single charge, and they all agreed it wasn't enough, so the pyro guy doubled that....not knowing that keith added another double charge! that was just a myth about that being the leading reason for his hearing loss.
