I know it's supposed to be a "one man live" type show, but being the headliner of a multi-band show is arguably even more prestigious, at least in my experience.

I mean, when I saw Pearl Jam in 1992, they performed alone in Athens, GA on the university campus (entry fee was $4). Later that year, they were a mid-schedule performer at Lollapalooza (RHCP and Ministry headlined). They opened for U2 on part of their 1993 tour. By 1994, bands like The Frogs, L7, Follow for Now, Urge Overkill, and Kings X were opening for Pearl Jam.

I would just hope the opening band set is short...not much more than 30 minutes. It really sucks when the opening band is kind of meh and just won't get off the stage.

That's all fine and well (hey, I'm a big PJ fan too) - but you have to bear in mind that SCANDAL fans (speaking for myself perhaps) are somewhat rabid in their fandom, and no - we don't want openers. Period. Hahahaha.

Haha, good point.

I like to think of it as an acknowledgement of Scandal's popularity. The band venue and/or promoters have seen that Scandal is bringing in a strong group of viewers, so possibly think it's an opportunity to get another, lesser known group some exposure in the hopes that this lesser known group will turn popular (and profitable) in the future.

I just hope they're good. I remember when the Soup Dragons opened for Nine Inch Nails back in the mid 1990's...gosh I couldn't wait for those guys to get off the stage. They were terrible (IMO).

They're all in the Member Activities forum (there's no Taiwan thread, though).

IMO, It would be cool if SCANDAL would be the one who will conceptualise their own opening/entrance. like how the curtains fall during the intro of SCANDAL Baby in OJH 2013, or how they sung SITH first to get the crowd pumped up before picking up their instruments (but then again, that was for ARENA live, and this is just bout live houses- so I don't think anything like this would happen, but there could be this small possibility haha)
I mean, have the show for themselves like how they do in their lives in JP.
I don't have anything against the opening band or anything I just feel like it's not necessary for them to pick another band to open for them/pump up the crowd first.

I wouldn't be able to go in any of the shows though haha xD so yeah, this is just my two cents if I were to go to the show xD

I hope SCANDAL would release a DVD full of lives during this WORLD TOUR. Like how other western artists do. Like ''SCANDAL LIVE in USA - Anaheim, LA, Chicago shows" or "SCANDAL LIVE in Europe- Paris, London shows" or just "SCANDAL WORLD TOUR 2015 LIVE DVD" (u get the idea, right?)

they do have intros. for the tokyo live, they have a bar setting and there's a guy that's gonna play a bar music then they'll come marching in while everyone is going nuts and screaming in excitement xD

In fact, that was the intro for the entire Japanese leg of the HELLO WORLD tour ^^. They played a Glenn Miller-esque (prolly was Glenn Miller lol) tune on the gramophone.

yea! i wonder though. who was that guy that was passing drinks and playing the music at the start? fan club members were screaming his name but i didn't quite catch it clearly xD

Motchy - MAMI's guitar tech.

maharizm wrote:Motchy - MAMI's guitar tech.

Is that the long haired guy always on Mami's side of the stage?
Guess he's pretty popular too xD

at first i thought it was eisuke xD

Motchy's the tech with the moustache, dressed in black as the masuta behind the bar. If you notice he would be tuning MAMI's guitars during the set, and pass it on to her when she switches guitars. There was another tech on stage right (also dressed like a bar man) sorting out TIMO's bass but I don't know what he's called.

Eisuke's the manager and from what I remember of what he looks like, wasn't visible at either side of the stage.

Looks like London is now sold out!

Excellent...that is all 800 tickets sold then  

Scandal has just finish their last stop in japan a couple days ago. They'll be on their way to France soon, I hope they get there early so they can do some sight seeing and stuff, especially since they have to go to London a day after .

I'm very interested in knowing the set list they'll use outside Japan. I hope it remains basically the same, with some small variations. 4 weeks left for me until LA show.

So how does it work if you have a gift for the girls? I've never done that.. Can you just give it to them at the Hi touch?

Yeah, just hand it directly to the girls. That's how it worked in London.

Hello everyone !
I am looking for v.i.p place for the gigs at Essen !

If someone sells some (In fact I am looking for 2 place, but if you got one, that's already half the way ^^)

I really want to go the show !

I hope my post belongs to the right topics, I am sorry if it didn't.

Please contact me by mp, to not bother this thread more ! ^^

Thank you friends !

I've let a message on the group, thank you very much for helping !

kudo_maharizu wrote:Just to add. You know how they had Sergio Mendes' Mas que Nada playing before they started a show - for the Hello World raibu, they had Glenn Miller or something similar of that vintage. The masutaa at the bar (or pretended to) put it on the gramophone.

It is weird to quote myself but here goes. After seeing them again in London, I had to revisit a number of well-known big band tunes on YouTube (I made sure I remembered the tune by humming it into my iPhone voice memo app!).

The intro tune is Duke Ellington's Take The A-Train, not Glenn Miller. Which explains why none of the famous Glenn Miller songs didn't sound right. Nevertheless, I'd be happy to stand corrected if anyone who went to see the shows and tell me otherwise.
