art car loudly playing trap during 2015 temple burn?

Post by Captain » Tue Sep 08, 2015 6:06 pm

Did anyone else get really put off by the art car loudly playing trap during the 2015 temple burn? It was really really loud, and no doubt ruined the moment for lots of people. I didn't see which car it was as I was probably 1/4 of a mile away from it, but if we could identify it, shame it, and maybe get it banned for a year like dancetronauts maybe next year it won't happen again.

I didn't hear anything during the temple burn, it was so silent.

Banned? For playing music during the Temple burn? Some like it hot.

Give that idea up right now. That isn't sufficient grounds to "ban" an art car.
There was a whole LOT more to the Dancetronauts issue (which has already been discussed at great length).
This isn't even in the same ballpark.

I have yet to find any time or place where trap sounds good to me.

I find trap to be excellent when I'm deeply passed out and can't hear it.

I gnawed off my own feet in order to get away from the trap.

Neither did I. It was indeed the quietest Temple Burn I'd heard in years.

Fast, too. I wouldn't have minded it being a little longer (for reflection) . . . and the Man Burn being a little shorter.

. . . My fault if I didn't wanna walk away, though. :lol:

I spent the Temple burn at somewhere around the 10-ish position, talking to a Ranger I knew who happened to be right there. I didn't hear nuthin".

Same here. I didn't hear a thing from the time the torches came out until the front of the temple fell with people coming together in a respectable type of drone for a few seconds. I never heard music.
