Stage Set-Up
The setup for this tour had an industrial aesthetic, and used basic lighting and fog machines. There was also a gate/cage-like structure made of metal pipe that went across the stage, separating the drum riser area from the rest of the band. The drum riser was hollow with a metal grate on the front, and some of the lighting was placed inside. A lighting truss was set up at the front of the stage, from which was hung three chains, much like the ropes that hung down during the Hate Tour.
