The blind kid playing Duelling Banjos is cool as fuck!

And JMJ went through a very naff phase...that did actually involve Hank Marvin. Though he's cool again now. :)

Orbital...of course. Hmmm, should I take more gear with me on tour, just because I can? And more gear looks better. I'm taking my rack with me.

good boy make that access scream!!!:D tbh most jmj does look dated except the LEC insecte [in picture, god i want that controller] and the circulaire from the paris le defense gig the roland stuff was good but stock keytars loose most of the coolness of a custom one [except the one used by dreamtheatre because they will never be cool under any circumstances]

but your missing the point Guitarists are the bmw drivers of the music world. nuff said :D

I have always wanted a laser harp! :)

Actually, not been using the Virus much. It's going to take a good amount of fiddling with it before it starts making noises I'm happy with because the presets by and large suck. I know what I likes, and it's not those. But I've been building my own bank up for the next album already. Have used it for a few pads but after trying to replace a few of the lead parts on the album I decided I actually liked the rough and raw sound they had.

I think that's a bit harsh on guitarists mate! I can play both equally well. It's just a different noise. I don't really care where it comes from, though admittedly, they are better looking live. You are stuck physically behind a laptop or synth though I think we do a good job of rocking a synth out as much as we possibly can. Punk electronics. :)
