Has anyone else stopped to wonder if the "for metal" joke has lost its allure here on TB? It's been so long since it became the mod target du jour, and metal isn't exactly shaking things up the way it barely was back when the joke was nominally funny. It's almost like throwing rocks at a long dead corpse at this point, no?

The late great improv guitarist Davey Williams used a baseball glove rigged with small electric motors on the fingers, each running at a different speed he would bring close to the strings and get some really otherworldly sounds. He also occasionally used a dustbuster for the same thing.

Possibly, but the corpse doesn't throw rocks back so it's a safe target.
