Holographic musician revival kit

untold/animals  said about 1 year ago  or at  3:37PM on Tuesday, April 17 2012 in stupidity

Hey, so the people who made Tupac appear to be alive again (although as far as The Age Online is concerned, his performance was mostly an echoed ''Yieah, yieah, yieah..!'') accidentally leave their holograph kit behind. You just have to type in a dead musician's name and suddenly they're brought back to life, ready to perform some stupid festival.

Who do you choose?

I wonder if a holographic G.G.Allin would do holographic shits all over the audience. Food for thought.*

* I don't mean the poo.

They cut and pasted from a recording of him recounting the plot of his favourite movie, Disney's Cinderella (''CinderELLA had a COACH made from a pumpkin''

So everyone agrees it was equal parts cool and tacky?

This is going to be huge!
HoloElvis, HoloJimi, HoloMichael Jackson, etc.
I smell big $


untold/animals  said about 1 year ago:

I think it would have been cooler if they did something that real Tupac could never have done, like a triple backflip. Or they made some really amazing alteration, like they substituted one of his arms for a very thin and flexible penis.

Predictable, yes.

They should do the hologram thing so he can play at the London Olympics as requested.

I really hope this doesn't become a thing..


anonymous  said about 1 year ago:

if i was a famous musician who was still alive i'd make a hologram concert of me so It could tour and I could sit at home and play xbox while raking in the cash.

could tour at 12 places at once!


ghoti-max  said about 1 year ago:

Ergh, yeah, true - just read an interview with the dudes who put it all together and they mentioned similar things..


anonymous  said about 1 year ago:

well there you go, i'm ahead of my time, should've patented that shit.

ghoti-max  said about 1 year ago:

Hahaha, that's excellent


ghoti-max  said about 1 year ago:

Actually, it's probably not that funny. Give it 5 or 6 years I reckon..


Lozenge  said about 1 year ago:

In 10 years people will prolly be playing hologram videos games...

''dude! check out my new PS7!''

I sure hope Holo-Tupac doesn't get Holo-jailed for Holo-sexual abuse.


Bugsy.  said about 1 year ago:

it's not a hologram! it's an image projected onto a screen. Hologram technology that lets you project 3d images in thin air r2d2 style DOES NOT EXIST.


ocelotl  said about 1 year ago:

Hmm, that's true! But until they come up with a snappy new name for this technique, I think ''hologram'' is what we're going to keep hearing.


Bugsy.  said about 1 year ago:

how about ''projection''


Lozenge  said about 1 year ago:

Shakur's performance was not based on archival footage. ''This is not him performing at some point, this is completely original, exclusive performance only for Coachella and that audience''...

How the fuck did they manage to make 2Pac rap those songs?! I just assumed they were archival recordings but apparently are brand new! That's just creepy.


yoghurt  said about 1 year ago:

the 'footage' maybe new, but the audio is not.


Lozenge  said about 1 year ago:

I'm having a brain fart... I read that quote as meaning the audio was a newly created performance... didn't think so!

Clarence Clemons

Maybe it'd be less tacky since he wouldn't be front and center for the entire show?
