Yeah, I went all Captain Beefheart on them for like three hours on Sunday. It was a 90+ degree day, and we were cooped up in this shed/barn thing sweating our asses off because I was hellbent on recording demos of three of our songs over the limited time we had to practice. I spent like an hour setting up most of the equipment myself. We were recording with one mic hung up really high into my laptop so we had to be super cramped up on each other and our amps. I couldn't even hear my playing or vocals half the time, but I made us do it. Of course playing songs multiple times when they weren't perfect. And with some vocal overdubs the demos might not sound horrible.
I'm totally playing Electric Warrior while enjoying a Big Mac in bed (not a euphemism).

SLIDER SLIDER SLIDER!
And hell yeah Bloo!!!!! I love this stuff. "Brokenhearted Blues" and "Main Man" are some of my favorites to play...
Here are a few of my favorite clips:
Old John's Children song updated Tyrannosaurus Rex style. That warble in his voice at the end kills!

Awesome extended version of "Children Of The Revolution" with Elton John and Ringo Starr from "Born To Boogie". Love the slow groove in Elton's playing in the beginning.

In '20th Century Boy' I just can't get over those girls singing the oohs and aahs in the verse! They... do things to me. Song has a great almost-swing feel.

Nice pic. Haven't seen that one before. Maybe you and Dev could update that thread with more Rangemaster users. Iommi used one, didn't he?
