Topic: Totally OT but incredibly cool: A true heavy metal band

[Francois]

Yes, my geek side got week in the knee while watching this.
There are heavy metal bands. Then there is this heavy metal band!

They are called Compressorhead. They play some Motorhead songs. And the musicians are actually metal.
They're a bunch of animatronic characters that play Ace of Spades

Don't you just love that!

And then there's also this:

Pat Metheny - The Orchestrion EPK

For the more Jazz inclined.

Or maybe musical floppy drives?

I had a program that played music like that back on my old Commodore 64.
I was afraid it would wreck the expensive drive so I didn't run it too often

These are ACE! The BBC had a brief feature on this in their tech section a while back, but only half a minute or so of video, so thanks for posting!
