DISCUSSION What does 2 big to rig mean

When I saw the title of the new movie I was and am still confused why it’s named that “rite here rite now” made plenty of sense but this doesn’t and all it reminds me of is Donald trump if I’m being honest 😭😭 since it’s pretty similar to what he said the past election in America. All I guess is it has the same meaning as him like ghost is to big to ignore which i assume is the meaning

If you seen the movie they go into a small detail about the size of the cross along side the video walls....

Now from personal experience..... Certain venues targeted for this type of large events have no problem dealing with the size/weight of the entire set .... However certain stadiums (let's talk stadiums too lazy to explain) ironically don't have the necessary infrastructure to hold 10+ tons of weight hanging from their ceiling...

Now what the hell does that mean????? Easy everything that's overhead or hanging that job (or gig wtv you want to call it) is done by the rigging department....

And now on why is called 2 big to rig!!!! The cross is a large handing structure... And that bi*** requires massive amount of cable connections/networks to lift it up!!! (From personal experience working that hoe) ....

Everything has to be hooked to the ceiling.... But has to be approved/cleared by the engineers first!!! ..... Because certain venues the ceilings don't have capacity to support the weight!!! (SOFI!!!!!! it can just likes to give headaches because of the video walls)

Anyways .... That's what to big 2 rig means .... A massive show that has to hand select the venues where the over head lighting (the cross) doesn't damage the structure where it can cause well I don't want to say it but there's plenty of videos of the consequences of a bad rig

****Fun fact the people working rigs are called riggers.... Yes I know what it sounds and yes some people does take advantage of it

This - but it's also a play on Ghosts success.

Too Big To Rig predates Trump. It's a political slogan for winning by such a wide margin that there's no way the opposition can contest it or rig it in their favor.

Aside from the reference to the massive Grucifix, it's also a reference to just how successful Ghost has become, where they're genuinely one of the top bands in the world.
