Tell the emo to put it on a stand and play it with both hands on the keys. Oh, and fine him $2,000 for male use of makeup. And for the love of humanity make sure that outfit meets a can of gasoline and a road flare.

Who's the girl trying to snap a pic of his goodies? We won't talk about the other arm...

The makeup is ok but he needs tighter pants
Keytar scares me. Every five years or so I consider making one...

There's never been a valid excuse for one of those keytar things. Mind you, it does help to draw the eye away from the ridiculous garb. A bit.

It also looks like he's on the receiving end of an under-stage fisting.

Get one of those and a dancing drummer and you have yourself an '80's pop video.

Wow... The Keytar is definitely the staple of boy-bands from the 90s. However, I did see one dude in Monterey, CA who had one who also had another pre-programmed keyboard in the back playing his bass and his synths and his drums. The song: Europa by Santana. That vaguely changed my opinion of Keytar players.

I saw Herbie Hancock this summer and he played Chameleon on a keytar...it was hillarious...and somewhat gross.

I'm glad he is your former bandmate, and not a current one...

Let's just pretend the weirdo isn't in there, and just adore how cool keytars are. Can you even still buy those?
