Where was the band photo from MCIS taken?
 


Was it shot at an actual solar farm or is this just some mid-90's photoshoppery?

cork_soaker 02-16-2021 03:30 PM

Ram27 02-16-2021 05:44 PM

T&T 02-16-2021 06:37 PM

You have to wash the mirrors at night when it's cool so as not to crack the mirrors.

jakobtheliar 02-16-2021 08:23 PM

This is based on memory from an article at the time that said it was out in the Mojave desert.

cork_soaker 02-16-2021 09:17 PM

excellent, thank you!

one has to imagine it would also simply be bright as living fuck

FoolofaTook 02-16-2021 09:57 PM

Yes, but why use such dirty language? Why not "as bright as the noonday sun" or "as bright as the Bald Lord's clean dome"?

The photo I posted clearly shows the mirrors being cleaned in the daytime. What do you have to say for yourself?

Funny that you said this. I’m actually in the process of cleaning my asshole right now.

redbreegull 02-18-2021 08:23 PM

Yeah it’s a real photo. I have no source for this but I remember an interview where they mentioned going to a solar farm for the picture

Oh...well let's see here.
Back in 06-07 I had a job briefly there and the position coming up in early spring was for the mirror washing crew that worked from 8pm-6am cleaning mirrors.

I quit before that.

This. NOT photoshopped.

As far as I know it was custom embroidered onto one of those clingy/stretchy polyester long sleeved t-shirts. Like that old school kiddie pajama material. He had at least a couple different ones. One of the ones he wore on tour appears to be nicer than the original one he's wearing here, and was on a t-shirt with that little embroidered v-notch under the neck.

He mentioned on Instagram that he cycled between four of them, but one was the "main" shirt. I think he said one that he auctioned for charity was an "alternate".

mmm imagine how sweaty after a gig
