ikay Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Saw Sting at the Palladium last night and there was a bell-shaped 'thing' with wires going into it on a post behind his bass cabs. See pic below (apoligies for quality). It's been bugging me ever since! Anyone have any idea what it is? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It's a camera, placed by Copeland, Vinnie and Hakim so they could observe how much better the gig would have been had one of them been there! It wasn't there on Saturday I don't think.... it should have been.😂 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Wouldnt a DB meter be out front rather than at the back ? Dunno... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikNik Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I reckon it's an audience cam. I've been on events where these things have been utilised. Then again, they're not so obvious as that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Yup. As above, it looks like a police siren on a pole to me, so I'm guessing it's part of the lighting for one or more of the songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Clearly it's a nasal hair wax remover. Sting isn't getting any younger and those pesky nose hairs can be a bit annoying when you have an image to portray. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't hurt and gets all of the hair out and leaves the inside of your nostrils like a babies bum. I have yet to find a trimmer that doesn't leave annoying stubble plus it grows back in a day or so. These are much better and last longer. My local Turkish barber does this and its not sore at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) It's a mandrel they use to get Sting's head out of his @rse so he can sing. Edited April 22, 2022 by ahpook 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Interesting, I think that's the first time I've seen the words 'Sting' and 'bell' in the same sentence without the word 'end' . 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

String just spouts big words and likes to play medieval lutes of an evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I see they gave him back his '70s/'80s nose in that clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like what comes out of the other end of the dog after it's eaten the biscuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
