Michael Shawn Crahan (Clown)

If the riffs are going to be there, why not have a,

a phoenix with the riff and have it work together because of band members.

So anyway, we went and one thing I'll tell you that blew my mind was...

We were walking around the Unidome and it's the kind of dome that you can see the sky.

And it started off with like birds, you know?

I was like, are there fucking birds in here?

You know, what is this?

And then it turned into some other weird albatross sounding thing or something.

You're like, I have no idea, but you're picking up on stuff.

And then it's like a helicopter.

And it's close.

And you're like, what?

Then it's planes.

And then finally, someone tells us there's a quad stereo set up.

And I look up, and it's the first time I saw speakers on the sides, in the back, in the front, and Pink Floyd's playing things together.

flying back and forth.

They're like, you know what?

Zap the herd, some Zeppelins and some helicopters an hour before we play.

Let's get it started.

So for me, I was like, this is what I live for.
