That\'s about the dumbest thing I\'ve ever heard.  For the life of me I can\'t understand why people get so worked up over editing.  All I ever do is corrrect spelling errors, I don\'t like them in my posts.  You should be glad that somebody cares enough to go back and make their posts better if they see opportunity for improvement.  To everyone who loses all joy from reading just because it says that the author cared enough to go back and make the post better, that really sucks for you.  Get over it!

wolfy,wouldve been another classic post except for the simple fact that you edited your post which makes it all void..

Positioning suggetsions:

1.  Adrian should be up front and center, facing away from the audience so that the audience can see him playing his kit from behind.  He is too short to be seen over the drums and he always pulls that hat over his face anyways, so you\'re not missing anything by not seeing his front.
2.  Jordan should have stage left/house right, with all of his keyboards lined up horizontally at the front of the stage, Jordan facing the audience.  This will force Jordan to strafe back and forth between keyboards, which will be amusing for the crowd and will help him stay awake for the whole show.
3.  Tim and Ron should change their positioning based on the song or jam they are playing, much like a football team changes its formation based on the play they are running.  For songs in major keys, they should assume the "pro" formation, standing shoulder to shoulder at the front of the stage.  For songs in minor keys, one of two positions should be used.  Either they should stand still in an "offset-I" (echelon) formation (for minor Dorian tunes), or one should stand still while the other slowly orbits around him (all other minor modes).  Ron should be in orbit if the current astrological sign is an earth sign, Tim should orbit if it is a water sign.  For songs with meaningful lyrics, they should face the audience.  For songs with meaningless lyrics, they should face away.  Spacy jams should feature random movements about the stage.  Random movements could include but are not limited to crawling, rolling, somersaulting, squirming, sliding, walking, and falling.  
4.  This one\'s a little bit unusual, but Adrian should try breaking up his drumset and spreading out the drums throughout the stage.  While transporting between pieces, he will maintain a slap rhythm on his body and with his feet.  This will give all sections of the audience a fair chance to witness his mastery, and will also prevent him from playing too many notes.
5.  The band also could use some work on their entrances.  The band should try entering and even playing on roller skates, wheelchairs, pogo sticks, Harleys, Skip-Its, and unicylces, to name a few.  They could also try being lowered down to the stage from the ceiling, being excreted from the anus of GWAR\'s man-eater, or emerging from see-through crystal coccoons.

I would like it to be easier to see Adrian. Maybe we can all chip in and buy Tommy Lee\'s old spinning drum kit.

bassist should always be next to drums so they are guarenteed to hear each other clearly and sinc.

i think itd be a great idea for the boys to try something a little different...if adrian was far left,sorta on an angle,then timmy,then save,finally jordan to the far right,i think thatd be the best way for them to set up..if anyones not gonna come see these guys beause they setup sorta similiar to how phish sorta used to back in the day,theyve got problems..adrian needs to be in front,and i think itll help because people will be fighting each other for a better spot in the front row..which is a good thing i think..

It doesn\'t matter to me.  Just look for me "Save Side High" (which is NOT where the kids from Saved By the Bell went to school).

I seem to remember that, in the early days, they would occasionally line up four in a row at the front of the stage (ala early Phish).

After getting a peep and listen to Adrian\'s new kit, along with watching the video of the Woodbury Ski Area show, it has been discussed about the breakfast changing the way they set up on stage.  

Me, I am always up for something different, a change here, a suprise there....

I told Adrian at Porters that I want him set up right at the front of the stage for the Toads NYE show.  I want to be able to rest my head right up against his bass drum
