Equestria and Earth making contact opened up many a unique opportunity. Today we have the chance to chat with the Trailblazers, a crew of spectacular special effects experts. Renowned (and notorious), they have become both ambassadors for their kind and heroes on festival grounds the world over. We meet them at northern Germany's Wacken festival in their tour-bus for the first interview they've ever agreed to.
Inspired by AC/DC and Silver Glow's Journal, co-authored by CandyCanine and me.

I would bet the rent money that if fried phones are that valuable, there are more fake phones than the real deal around.
How would you tell a phone fried in the concert from one fried with a high voltage line?
How would you tell if it was fried at the 1st concert or a later one?
Only way I can see is if you can prove that you were at the 1st concert.

Of course.
They still look cute to me. And little.
Doesn't make any less metal or great.
7632771 Blazing cuteness.
I liked it. Quite an interesting take, and indeed I'd like to see Thunderstruck like that
Kudos for the story
7632990 Thank you!
Ponies integrating with Earth! Very nicely designed - good story!
And they still look
cutecuter than human music crews.7633818 They do. Just don't tell them.
Glad you like!
Genius, just genius. I tip my hat to you, sir. And now I feel like listening to AC/DC. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course.
7635986 Much AC/DC (and Tullamore Dew) was involved in the development of this story.
Glad you like!
This is a very good one-shot.
7641204 Thank you!
Was great fun to do.
Surprisingly not the first story I've read on this site that uses music journalism as a framing device. In any case, a fascinating scenario. I'd find it odd that an FX crew would get cheers like they were rock stars themselves, but you've made it clear why they're met with such a reaction.

I haven't seen one so far... could you point me to an example?
The idea came to us between Irish whisky and AC/DC and, again, Silver Glow.
I guess they get so much attention because their FX support in parts resemble a stunt flying show with a million volts light effects ;)
Anyway, it a silly thing that was a lot of fun talking about (two days) and writing (2 hours).
Also, it seems I myself am just covering the real artist during the warm-up to the actual show.

This is the story I had in mind.

Friendship is Metal.

Ok, I'm definitely reading this.
Oh man, I freaking love them. This is *such* a cool story idea and writing it as a RS article is a really cool framing device I've not seen before. Bravo n_n
(Sorry for taking so long to read this ^^;)
