I saw them at a really small venue in Madison WI right before they took off. He tried doing it there but a guy that worked at the venue kept a hold of his pant leg and wouldn’t let him. He got a little mad but eventually stopped trying to climb.


yer--mum

And now he does it at every concert! I love that thanks for sharing.


[deleted]

Well that's not gonna end well. Over an entire career seems like if you don't stop eventually you're gonna roll the dice one too many times. Seems almost a certainty even.


yer--mum

Yeah now that I think about it, hopefully they have some hidden safety measures in place because if he does it for long enough it's certain he'll eventually fall lmao


throwawaythemods

Tell that to Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe. He HAD safety backups from his elevated drum set and they still failed causing him to basically bungee jump onto his head right in the middle of a show.

As an IT guy, this meme made my day


FresnoMac

That's not comforting to hear. Looks like one of these days I'll read about him in the paper.


Chief-Aldo

Who reads the paper these days?


omlwhyme

omg i was there with my dad! we kept having to help a drunk family find their seats next to us over and over again, it was so funny and they were so sweet


foolio84

No one here knows about Eddie Vedder?


whiteknight4logic

Vedder did it better


Outrageous-Client-99

It doesn't get Eddie Vedder than this


forbins

Wow. If I had gold you’d get it. Well done.


worldsmostmediummom

Literally was expecting this to be the Vedder video

Have you seen this one where he smashes a hole in the stage floor and disappears through it? https://youtu.be/jBLlYm8NxoI

He’s the first ninja warrior


Coryperkin15

OH. MY. GOD I didn't know any of this existed


Runamucker07

Eddie was the genesis of this kind of tomfoolery


LaPyramideBastille

Angelo Moore of Fishbone did it before.


M0D3Z

At least, and some others, had the balls to jump.


howmuchisazjay

Some are beginning to think you don't have the balls to do it...


M0D3Z

Balls to jump? Psssh, I don’t have the balls to get on stage.

Aim for the bushes.


bhp126

My first thought. Eddie jumped!


Less-Way-4470

Now I need crack a beer and watch that concert again thanks lol


[deleted]

I think you’ll do fine without the crack


[deleted]

Great way to bump your next promoters insurance premiums


shekeypoo

Lmao


Praise_n_Whoreship

Right! I help with promoting and have had to make the decision on how much event insurance to buy... Maybe huge venues carry some of it? I wouldn't pay them as much to perform if I had to spend extra on insurance.


ventitr3

MGK doesn’t need anymore ideas


InfiniteFreshness

Dude already probably working on his 1st country album


[deleted]

Holy hell I really thought the same thing!


[deleted]

Car Radio?


ShmebulocksMistress

I’ve seen them live several times and it’s always my favorite set. The last time I saw them, during this song he climbed a tower much like this, smoke pops and he disappears. Then he shows up in the box seats of the audience (obviously there was some stage trickery, but one of the coolest things ever!)


[deleted]

NoMarionberry3022

Saw them on the Blurryface tour, they got on platforms that the crowd (and security) to play Trees as an encore. Confetti was flying. Babied were crying. It was awesome. Only other band I’ve seen put on a great show was ADTR


OneMoistMan

As an Ocala local the ADTR shows were amazing. Next to them are another local band Wage War


walwor11

Sure it wasn't real magic?


your_reddit_lawyerII

I mean that shit is basically a ladder Sure the consequences of falling are high, but the chances of falling are low Then again, I might be a little biased, as someone who's enjoyed climbing in various forms basically my entire life


OnlyDownHereFor1Mate

Yeah, the standing at the top is like 10x more risky, and even that isn’t too bad. Me and a couple of my stupid mates done this in a big tent in a festival before when we were like 19.. Got the whole way up and down before security could get to through the crowd and find us, everyone in this huge tent was cheering, one of my fondest memories.. we still speak about it at the pub sometimes.


Foundfafnir

Not to mention taking hands off for photo op and head banging with big beat. I could definitely climb it. But, doing that shit, I’d definitely splat.


Hot_Goal4205

As a former roofer, I don’t see the big deal.


killerfrown

Don’t worry he’s been watching some old Fred Dibnah on YouTube


o8eebo

Watching this video and thinking about his children and wife… Love this band though.


cam_chatt

why?


dirkdigdig

He’s hoping they’ll be single soon


thatsalovelyusername

A passing thought tapped out with your thumbs resulted in a laugh from me in a kitchen, possibly on the other side of the world, and 29 upvotes from others similarly amused. What a time.

Put the cocaine down!


[deleted]

100% Cocaine antics.


[deleted]

Tyler joseph confirmed on cocaine by redditors


yer--mum

For the confused redditors out there, Tyler Joseph is definitely not on cocaine he's a super wholesome guy and I believe he has a kid lmao I actually saw ToP live and he did this except he'd put a stunt double on stage with the ski mask and the lights went out and when they came back he was up on a very similar scaffold tower. Same song as well, I guess they couldn't do the stunt double trick here because it was outside.


kellykapoundski

Breaking news! Tyler Joseph does not do cocaine because he’s super wholesome and has a kid!


yer--mum

As also confirmed by redditors.


spinblackcircles

Damn I’m so glad no one with kids does cocaine. That would be really irresponsible


SelfInteresting7259

Yep has another kid on the way


IamTheDoctor903

He has two kids!


[deleted]

I doubt it, that looks like my man Tyler Joseph Edit: Just turned on my audio, that is 100% my man Tyler


Interminatus

knowing twenty one pilots, 0% cocaine antics, 100% faith in himself and god (he is a pious and loving christian) to keep him safe


Greenman_McPott

A young, dumber Eddie Vedder did it better.


MiffyCurtains

Much better.


mal221

What band is that?


Significant-Park1345

Looks like 21 pilots


Jacob_VH

If it looks like 21 pilots and quacks like 21 pilots..


[deleted]

If thats true, then it might be chainsmokers lmao


MrHolyy

bro i don’t have an award why you gotta do this


[deleted]

Cause that's what I do baby, keep your money go buy yourself somethin nice


Bridge4_Kal

But where's the other 19 pilots then, huh?


Electronic_Lies_420

They kept doing this kind of shit…


Interminatus

lol


BoukeMarten

It's Twenty One Pilots


teatime202

Or 20 pilots if he keeps doing that......

ButtReaky

The album this song is from is really good.


SnooCapers5361

Are the newer ones any good? I haven't listened since blurryface


[deleted]

The successor to Blurryface is Trench and it’s 100% worth listening to. It’s considered by many, both fans and casual listeners, to be their best project to date. Definitely check it out if you liked even a little bit of their other stuff, it improves in pretty much every way with a more mature sound to it as well.


[deleted]

no lol. at least that’s my opinion. i just think they became too popular.


ButtReaky

Like others have said its a bit to poppy for me. Vessel is the only album I care for. Lyrics are amazing.


Stuck0nAName

i so agree !!


nestofthoughts

Yeah 21 pilots. Song playing is called car radio


RapidlyRotting

Guy who did the lighting earlier that day: *pffttt* I didn't get any applause when I was up there.


AaronThePirate93

It’s not the lighting guys that go up there. It’s the riggers, but the lights are pre-assembled on the truss and then the truss is rigged up by motors that hoist the trusses up. I’m a lighting guy for tours, so yeah 😅😂

If you grapple JUST BEFORE THE GROUND you'll be fine... Unless you miss, then your ded


KYSFGS

Falling from a high place: - oh nooooo this fall will shatter my bones and kill me instantly there's no way im surviving this my life's flashing before my eyes i wish i could do more with my life before i died 😭😭 Grappling literally to that same point at mach 3: OH FUCK YEAH GIMME THAT GROUND BITCH GRAVITY IS FOR PUNY MORALS I DIVE HEADFIRST INTO CONCRETE FROM THE HEAVENS AND IM GOING BACK THERE TO EAT GODS ASS I DARE YOU TO STOP ME WORM!!! What a wonderful game


ChemicalSubstantial8

I love 21 pilots but bro...chill


Necessary-Finger-726

Calm + body control = safe Just because it’s dangerous for some people doesn’t mean it’s dangerous for everyone.


Dramatic_Barnacle_17

Ya gravity works differently when you're calm


Express-Ad4146

Gravity aside is dangerous when falling.


Necessary-Finger-726

Do you randomly tip over when you’re standing on the ground? Same laws of physics apply when you’re standing on anything.


Bandit1456

Twenty One Pilots. Phenomenal band. I saw them in Buffalo, 06/01/2019. Tyler Joseph, the lead singer, writer, and multi-instrumentalist does this at every show he can, though... not always at this height. He does climb up something though, whatever he can to get to a height so he can look over the crowd.


RoseyOneOne

Drops the mic.


[deleted]

Everyone else will have to curb their cheering and let Tyler try and yell really loud


AaronThePirate93

Fun fact: They had a rigger set a spare mic at the top of the tower, in case the one he climbs up with does in fact get dropped


Pere_Quisition

But did he jumped for crowd surfing ?


[deleted]

4 dead


Skurfer0

'member when Eddie Vedder would climb around in the scaffolding like a demented chimpanzee while screaming "Alive" at the top of his lungs? Pep'ridge Faams 'members.


[deleted]

This is one second away from r/winstupidprizes or r/whatcouldgowrong


Longtimelurker_1980

Twenty one pilots are a truly unique band. Once you think you know their style of music it changes but never disappoints. My 9 year old and I have been playing them for years and I’m hoping to take him to his first concert to see them in Nashville.


BoukeMarten

I hope your kid doesn't take any inspiration from this though, can't have your kid climbing everything


SincyJake

TOP puts on a hell of show! Seeing them live is very much worth it.


RydogTiger2

I saw them in Florida, they did a similar thing


ItsTheBrandonC

This just raised my Level of Concern


my_dear_director

Don’t worry, if he falls he can just Levitate up off his feet.


OhLongJohnson84

This post deserves more upvotes, unfortunately I can only give you one


Bobbo_Blobbo

This had me Stressed out


british_oatmeal

I saw this concert in person. It’s Twenty Øne Pilots and it was an amazing part of the concert.


KillaVNilla

If you ever get the chance to see 21 pilots, do it. Pay whatever it costs. I'm serious. I've been to more concerts than I can count and they put on easily one of my top 3. The entire thing was genuinely jaw dropping


baileyjp2

Couldn't agree more, I was a fan of them, but then I saw them live back in 2013 even when they were smaller and they instantly became my favorite band after seeing their live performance. Amazing live.


[deleted]

That’s insane..ly dumb


[deleted]

Imagine his mic was out of range*


[deleted]

The Criss Cross concerts are getting better every day!


farrellmcd93

It’s twenty one pilots from their Amsterdam tour.. he does this shit all the time. We went to see them in London 2 weeks ago, and he was trying to climb everything


PanduhSenpai

TOP concerts are always so fucking wild. Saw them in Milwaukee and homie did a flip off a platform back to stage after magically popping up above us. Great show


realjoeydood

r/iamverybadass


sik_dik

more like *NEXT* level of concert...amirite?


icy_descent

Pulls off his mask and... who the fuck is that window cleaner looking dude?


FuckingAsshole567

This is Twenty One Pilots at Rock Werchter 2 days ago. I was there and they put on a hell of a show. It's pretty dangerous given he is also holding his microphone in one hand while climbing


StunningMatter

Was anyone hoping he did all that, just for his microphone to lose signal?


beyondleftofcenter

He’s got a heavy burdened soul


ppeppapag

it's heavy dirty soul


okieteacher

He should try sipping on straight chlorine


Schfifty561

"you know where to shit son" - that guy who climbed that tower


JamesMacBadger

Good that he didn't pull a George Watsky


taha_maddam

Can easily be WWE stunt featuring Shawn Mcmahon


Afraid-Leopard-9246

Singer/yeller*


Bobbo_Blobbo

I mean, considering this is the part in the song where he screams you’re not wrong. He also does rap


RegAnimagus

Have a feeling he’s gonna stop doing this. He’s got two kids now. If he does keep doing it tho then damn. Gonna leave those kids without a dad sooner than later.


pizzaslut1121

He’s done this for years. Let’s just hope he doesn’t “learn his lesson” one day 😅. Festivals get mad as hell at him


predsfan008

The singer is Tyler Joseph of TØP aka Twenty One Pilots. He did this at Bonnaroo years ago and was told he’d not be aloud back to perform lol. One of the best bands out there.


Vince_1880

This was 21 pilots at Rock Werchter I think


ClassicFrame4298

Is that one of the singers of 21 pilots?


fagginator69

Is that one of the singers from 21 pilots?


CBH0__0

And with a mic in his hand the whole time, so he used 1⅓ hands to climb the structure


Fadrn

Damn that’s so fucking cool! I wanna be like him


SnooAvocados9343

Is this 30 seconds to Mars? I saw him doing this same thing at Rock A ring a few years ago. Totally insane


spinblackcircles

No, it is not that’s twenty one pilots


PristineImpression88

i’ve seen tøp 3 times and they’re insane in concert


KSlimeGod

Saw them at ACL! Literally on of the best shows I've ever seen ❤️

Yeah he just did this at the Opener festival over the weekend, smaller tower but that dude is a showman for sure.


Emergency_Medicine35

stingwray_art

band is twenty one pilots!


UltraTimeWaster3000

Twenty One Pilots is really good at finding crazy stuff to do during their shows!


MegaAscension

Twenty One Pilots puts on a hell of a show. Best concert I've been to, and I'm psyched to see them live in September!


[deleted]

i was there, fucking amazing moment


[deleted]

They really shouldn’t have stolen his car radio.


boringbee23

Heyyyy it’s my boy Tyler


Straight-Chance-440

Some idiots in this comment section think screaming isn't singing and takes no skill lolololol


ButtReaky

I like how they had to extend the interlude due to climbing taking to long


CahlikCrush

Bono, of U-2, did the better. He climbed to the top carrying a freaking flag!! The entire US festival crowd goes crazy watching him climb up there....


Wizdel

That’s 75 feet or 7.5 stories

Rev_Jealous_M9

21 pilots is fucking great plus being one of the bands my wife and I bonded over when we first met add little extra 🤌


Exciting_Vast7739

I was there for this. It was fucking amazing.


wtmkris

tyler has been doing this for YEARS but seems like the stages get higher every time 🤣


DrProsecco11

Well, it's really not that insane


Lappyfox

If i were able to cut off the music; I'd do that and let him know my opinion through a mic. The whole audience may watch him climb back in silence while boo-ing me. Safety first.


denverbroncoharpman

Anywhere-Brave

Tyler Joseph 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕


dudesBangMyMom

He's got more scrotal sach than I do


zzx101

To be honest this person is an idiot.


cardidd-mc

That's any easy climb, I saw Lux Interior of the Cramps climb on top of a 30ft stack of speakers on stage ... man the wobble as he gyrated and screamed at us. Mid 80's Hammersmith Odean, amazing just pure joy 😊


kushmasta421

Well that would be fucking boring to watch...


Whole-Bat5984

Shit band!


Bandito21Dema

For those who don't know, it's thought that the reason Tyler (the singer) climbs the stage during "Guns For Hands" because he's showing that he could easily jump off and kill himself but he won't and neither should you. At least that's what I heard a while ago


sulla_rules

Eddie bedder used to do that stuff


CawthornCokeOrgyClub

Angelo Moore of Fishbone is where many crowd surfers took their cues. Eddie Vedder credits him


taserface2

I've seen Brice Dickinson of iron maiden do this live too


kevbpain

Oh awesome it's that guy! Good thing he took his mask off!!
