We've become fans after our daughter started enjoying their kid-friendly CDs and DVDs, so here we are: new fans.<br> <br> We need your help to enjoy the concert - what can we expect? Is it audience-friendly, with interactions? We've been listening to their CD, Flood, for a crash course...what are we missing as must-listen songs? And this is an 18+ show, so there won't be the kids songs to enjoy I bet.<br> <br> And the bigger question: we're concert n00bs. I haven't been to a live rock-type concert since college (and that was just a local '80s cover band), and she never has...So, do we dance, mill about, drink and enjoy the smoke? Will we be considered as outsiders and shunned? Or are we over-thinking a plate of beans? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.83539 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 07:04:45 -0800 tmbg concert theymightbegiants rock music dork dorkiness fijiwriter http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/11966 Does anybody know what guitar tone is used in certain TMBG and U2 songs? The most prevalent example is in the TMBG song "Ana Ng." During the chorus of the song, the guitar goes into this tremolo rapid-fire tone that maintains an even volume and has this nice rhythmic effect. It occurs at around 0:36 in the song. Any help would be appreciated. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.11966 Fri, 19 Nov 2004 14:43:38 -0800 theymightbegiants tmbg guitar music anang noises sounds soundeffects u2 dagnyscott
