[edit] Bagpipe sound

Why are we calling Big Country's bagpipe sound "infamous"? Infamous has a negative connotation. Wouldn't "distinctive" be better?

[edit] Jimmy Page using an E-Bow?

I was not aware of this little factoid. I'm asking a few people that might shed some light on this. --Cooleyez229 06:16, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

  • According to a few experts on Led Zeppelin, it was more likely to have been (as far as In the Evening) either Page using a real bow, or using a Gizmotron. Removing Page reference for now. --Cooleyez229 03:35, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tool

Tool's "Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann)" sounds like an eBow throughout the entire song. If anyone else can confirm this then it should be added to the list. Aquillar142.55.32.209 20:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

If you look at the issue of Guitar Hero in 2006 (April maybe?) Adam says that he uses an electronic device used to rip out leg hair on the album rather than an E-bow, he didnt specify which ones but he made it very clear he didnt use it.

[edit] Nazareth

Confirm for me (or not) whether Nazareth used the ebow on "Love Hurts." It could have just been feedback (which I used to do "With or Without You" in a band in the '80s), but the original ebow does predate the song, and I've seen them use it live. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Otcconan (talk • contribs) 03:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] E-Bow, E-bow, e-bow, EBow, or ebow?

It'd be nice if we used a consistent spelling throughout the article. Any thoughts about which is most appropriate? Strobilus 01:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I've changed the various spellings (other than song titles) to be consistent with the official spelling--EBow. [1] I also reworked the first sentence of the article in an attempt to clarify the issue. Hamsa108 14:51, 22 May 2007 (EST)

[edit] Dream Theater

Doesn't Dream Theater's "Space-Dye Vest" from awake album use ebow to?? Khullah 05:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's right. I've got a video showing how they recorded this, which proved to be a challenge for Mr Petrucci... --FrodeLeirvik (talk) 14:24, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kill the list

This article needs a list of songs using the subject as much as Guitar and Piano do. A couple of examples to point out what it sounds like will do just fine. I won't edit because I'm a lazy ass who doesn't usually like to be bold, but please, someone take care of it. And the rest of the article, too. It's a mess. -The preceding signed comment was added by Nazgjunk (talk • contrib) 21:12, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Done. --Chuck Sirloin 13:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] No More Sorrow - Linkin Park?

Could wep ut that Brad Delson of Linkin Park used the Ebow on the song No More Sorrow on their Minutes To Midnight album? Lpfan4eva1990 (talk) 17:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

The E-bow origins described in this article do not match those of the E-bow homepage.--FrodeLeirvik (talk) 14:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
