Ode to duct tape

This tape is not just tape; it is a manifesto of countless generations of rock stars. This legend has been used by the likes of Kurt Cobain, Billie Joe Armstrong, Wes Borland, Tom Morello and Brian Welch. The legacy of their music is carried through with this essential musical tool. Without duct tape, there would be no Nirvana, no Green Day, no RATM, no Limp Bizkit. This artifact is my one true love in life; I will forever cherish it. It has infinite uses, from repair to design, and for just looking cool on your rack. The legacy of this tool will long be used for generations to come, and will go down in history as one of the single most influential inventions of mankind. I love you, duct tape.

Crucial piece of gear

I feel like every musician should have at least one roll of this handy. It's not "just tape" it's really sturdy and secure and the fact that many known musicians listed in this page are using it really says something.

Pleasantly surprised!

Been a glue guy for years now, but after giving it a try I gotta say that duck tape is certainly a convenient and effective tool!

"This is just used to keep the strap from falling off. At our first gig, the guitar strap kept losing hold when I would adjust pedal settings on the floor and I had no strap locks at hand, so I went to a nearby store and bought some duct tape to keep it in place just for the night. It worked quite well and has done ever since, so I’ve never felt the need to upgrade to the popular Grolsch bottle washers or even strap locks themselves."
