Actually... Vodka.

I have to laugh while saying this, BUT IS THIS LEGAL?

While I do Really like this I just felt it needed addressed.

Yeah... I'll delete that. He did another version of that yesterday. It's not wrong per se, but I'm personally getting stricter about only allowing music gear on the site.

Listen, do me a favor, if you ever see Slash's Hat listed don't delete it.

agreed... whenever I wear a goofy hat I make millions! Its a legit piece of gear.

Docterine of Applicability:

If it's not sold on Reverb, ever, think twice before adding it here.

I generally tend to agree, but every now and then I find an exception.

For example, I almost deleted this when I saw someone added a pencil. But then, I saw this really interesting video of how Tom Morello uses it and thought it is absolutely in the spirit of Equipboard. https://equipboard.com/pros/tom-morello/pencil

Turns out it's kinda difficult to come up with a hard rule or guideline for what's appropriate on Equipboard.

I find that the pre-2002 Dixon Ticonderogas, the ones from the old Ohio factory, have a warmer tone. The newer No. 2s tend to have more presence, but they're a little sterile.

(but in all seriousness, that pencil is a cool example of a leftfield addition that adds fun & value. Oftentimes, the most valuable thing I get from an artist's Equipboard entry are all the obscure source articles and videos that this site helps aggregate)

its funny but even for writing the dixon pencils now actually do break more!

I have coins on my equipboard as pelctrums and shit I made myself, we can't be too confined to intended usage or commercial availability. I recently did the westworld score cnotest with priceley synths but also a plastic toy moana uke my sone got as a party favor a few yeas ago. And I played it with an oddball wood pick I think or maybe a piece of emtal, not sure which takes went in the final mixdown.

I also played some toy drums with spoons.

And, suprisingly, there are a ton of wood & graphite pencils on Reverb right now. :D

I sue those piano key ones to mark up scores when I'm arranging other people's music LOL

and hylighters to color code the ranges on a piano score to break things up in string and horn registers.... so I should put those on my equipboard

I mean... I'm not saying alcohol is part of my creative process, but I'm not saying it isn't either. But if we're going down that road, then Syd Barrett's page would have to have some very interesting additions to it. Questionable, but interesting.

As to non-standard gear and legit conversation, Sonic Youth uses a screwdriver in some seriously interesting ways, not as a slide--but actually UNDER the strings, the technique actually has a name: Third Bridge. Cool stuff.

You know, it is pretty shameful that they would add Vodka to Till Lindemann, but not add Jack Daniel's to Lemmy's page...

I mean... Pretty sure Lemmy was something like 33% Jack, 33% Coke, and 33% Nicotine. So I don't know that'd be equipment so much as just part of his DNA?

Vodka might be in there too as I can quote Lemmy saying:

"Ahh, that's good Orange Juice... Almost perfect... 'cept for the Orange flavor..."

I'm not sure there was much coke in there... but still, like Keef the substances aren't equipment at all. I mean, Keef probably can't ever pass a drug screening ebcause he's still peeing undiluted cocain from the 70s

Wait now, I thought he got a complete blood transfusion every few years? Or was that just Robin Williams doing what Robin Williams did? "You know I smoked your uncle, mate? F^cking crazy."

I have a picture somewhere "Keith Richards tests positive for everything EXCEPT COVID-19."

I heard this story that Keith Richards' father was cremated, and while dealing with the ashes he spilled some on the table, looking like cocaine Keith just couldn't resist and... Snort Snort

And back on the Lemmy subject, I heard Lemmy actually drank an entire bottle of Jack Daniel's a day.

well, he had to chew the glass bottle, not drink it, but he drank te contents first and then ate the bottle, yeah

The shards were probably what kept his voice nice and rough 'n' growly.
