Yeah didn't Einstuerzende Neubaten use an angle grinder (on Strategies against architecture 1, for any other EN nuts) ?

They used an angle grinder on the first 2-3 albums I think (definitely on the first 2, not so sure about 1/2 Mensch but it sounds like it on "Der Tod ist ein Dandy"). Neubauten are a thread onto themselves when it comes to unusual instruments.

Oh and also, POTUSA once played with 3 string guitars as far as I know.

And 2-string basses

Looking forwrd to the new album and seeing them. I only got that informationj from that song with the line ''2 string, 1 string, no string'' etc.
(Boll Weevil or Dune Buggy I think) And yeah surely Tchaikovsky's use of a cannon would be''strange'' and I think John Lennon used a Mellotron way back when. And oh, lets not forget Flava Flav's clocks.

AC/DC used bagpipes long before Korn ever though of it.

Uriah Heep did use kazoo in the "happy birthday" section of Magician's Birthday.

Peter Steele of Type O Negative plays stand-up bass slung around his shoulders like a regular guitar (he's like 6'5").

Cianos

I saw a little blue grass band in Amsterdam called The Bucket Boys...they had all modified instruments that we're pretty cool. The double bass was a big plastic bucket with a rod coming out of it and one thick string attached to the top and bottom of the rod. Made such a great sound, the guy had to wear a big thick glove while playing it or else he'd cut up his hand

natsuko

and the stylophone was used in space oddity by bowie... actually anyone have any ideas where i could get one of those?????
