The blazing fire makes flames and brightness out of everything thrown into it.
When I was a kid, I had to try a lot of pyrotechnics just so people would know who I was.
There is an almost universal experience in physicists, at least of my generation, which is home-made pyrotechnics.
I've got friends who are pyrotechnics who do big fire shows, so I'm really fascinated by that.
Our small ears never had such a workout as on the Fourth of July, hearing not only our own bursting crackers but also those of our friends, and often the boom of homemade cannon shot off by daring boys of 16 years, ready to lose a hand if it blew up.
Cool things happen. Ace's guitar flies through space, goes through a hole, and blows up. I throw drumsticks and they come flying at you.
I was all set to blow some crap up.
This is the point in the show where we say, 'Oh, what else do we have in the van that's flammable?'
Pyrotechnically considered, [laughing] is the fire-works of the soul.
If you stop and think about it, the form of propulsion used today hasn't changed in over a thousand years... since the invention of fireworks by the Chinese.
Why don't you confer with Mr. Finnigan? As I recall, he has a particular proclivity for pyrotechnics.
My sound has changed. It's still hiphop, but it's more of like a rock/hip-hop show. It's high energy, stage diving, pyrotechnics, girls showing their breasts. It's crazy party atmosphere.
When I'm onstage, I hope it looks like what I want to see - the lights, the pyro, the band.
At every Ozzfest show, there's horns and devils somewhere; there's some kind of darkness somewhere. But the thing is, this is a stage, homey, and those fools are entertainers. And you know what, it shows! It's fake.
In 'Sisters of War,' I got to do one of my own stunts. Running out of the building because the Japanese were firing, with all these little spark plugs are going off, looking like explosions and bullets flying down. That was really fun.
I love shooting guns. Not at people or animals, but I love shooting blanks!
Growing up in Arizona, I love fireworks, shooting off bottle rockets and M80s.
I want to play a fireman and a spy. I want to learn special effects.
Kiss is a Fourth of July fireworks show with a backbeat.
We all love conflagrations. When the sky changes color, it is a dead man's passing.
We've gotten quite creative with our use of explosives... It's almost like an art form, rather than just blowing crap up.
When I first started seeing (the show) come together, I was blown away. It is unbelievable. And to see Vince singing, and behind him girls hanging by chains, and Harleys on the stage and the pyrotechnics going it's like, this is what I want to see in rock 'n' roll.
You may be a redneck if... your lifetime goal is to own a fireworks stand.
One reason I chose gunpowder is that I had the good luck in my environment to be exposed to gunpowder. The other reason is I was always looking for a visual language that goes beyond the boundary of nations, and so I found gunpowder.
I can't even read notes. But I can teach someone how to make a guitar smoke.
