Weird Instruments In Rock Music

[Warren]

Bottom post of the previous page:

I was just on another forum, clarifying the term Lucite. Lucite is a dense plastic material that people have made guitars of.





Here's an example of a loo-cite guitar:

Hähähä...

[Jesper Hvid]

Voivod: Clouds In My House (from: Angel Rat)



Repeated vibra-slap.

Cowbell is ever present on the tracks "Flyin' the Flannel" and "Epoxy, For Example" from the album "Flyin' the Flannel", by Firehose.

[Lunatic Armchair]

8 pages and not one SNL joke. Shame on you guys!






Frank Zappa: Fifty Fifty (From Over-nite Sensation)




It has a Jean Luc-Ponty Baritone Violin solo

[Corsair]

Whatever the fuck is going on in Battles songs, particularly Atlas. Weirdest stuff ever, but it's so damn catchy, all of it. Just a combination of pedals and a vox I suppose, but hell listen to the effect!

I think you are refering to what is called aleatory music. The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was full of technical innovations; for instance, their producer recorded monotembral riffs on a tape, then cut it into slices, mix them up and stick back together to reach wierd, yet good sounds. I must tell the sixties was the era of experiments in music, and if you heard Steve Reich's or Eric Copeland's conceptual works, you'd realize to your amazement how strange music can be. Until the production of the first analog synthesizers musicians would experiment with electricity and sound waves which basically resulted in unpredictable sounds and even musical pieces that you would hardly call "music".

"Freedom", by Rage Against the Machine has cowbells.



Badass riff, tewe.

Korn's "Shoots and Ladders" has bagpipes.

[ww1ace]

Korn's "Shoots and Ladders" has bagpipes.

So does AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)"

[Everso Biggyballies]

Korn's "Shoots and Ladders" has bagpipes

So does AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)"

As does Paul McCartney / Wings's Mull of Kintyre...

.....also Big Country the Scottish band from the 1980's (Song 'In a Big Country') Maybe they were 'synthetic'/synthesised pipes tho because I dont remember a piper on stage.

Enter the Haggis, is another pipe user (probably in more than one sense)


Im sure there are hundreds of other (bag)pipe users in music modern and old

[SB]

Tommy Hall's electric jug

Major bump.

OK, technically not rock music, but it's pretty close.



Here we have some cowbell.

[Jesper Hvid]

Thanks.

Here's something by The Who with added trumpet, or should that be crumpet, for a bit of a Sunday afternoon perve.

No banjo ever hurt anyone. Unless it was brought down forcibly on someone's scalp...
