One day that guy will make the news -- in a horrible accident, no doubt.

I play trombone and that would be totally bitching to let go in the middle of a big band swing solo...he needs a valve that would release the gas while he's playing instead of having to reach around and open it up by hand though....oh the possibilities.

It needs some kind of safety apparatus. I can see him killing somebody now by forgetting that it's on. Perhaps some kind of pedal.

This is at one time both the greatest and stupidest thing I have ever seen.

That is the greatest thing I have ever seen. I'm wondering how to do this with my trumpet...

Haha, that's great. Hey, if KISS can have sparkles shooting from their guitars, why not?

Something I've wondered about is if you play a smaller wind instrument, say a flute, and inhale some cigarette smoke before blowing a few notes, could you see it coming out as you play? Which holes would it come out of? That could be an awesome visual.

I'd like to see how much bigger a flame he'd get if he played it with "a different orifice"

I saw a trumpet player do that once about ten or twelve years ago. It seems like a brass instrument thing to do.

I don't expect to see too many violinists doing it.
