I just noticed Luke is using a talk box on the new tour. Is this a new thing for Luke?

 

[slukather]

Yeah, it must be, l don't think l've heard Luke use a talkbox before, from what Luke was saying though, the producer of his album really pushed him to try different things.

On the Ever Changing Times CD, listen for it in Stab In The Back.

I wonder if there's a bottle of grand manier at the other end of the hose.

That's right - a classic Talkbox will literally blow your teeth out. Just imagine 100 watts of tube power blown directly in to your mouth.
My band's guitar player uses a Rocktron Banshee talkbox, which contains an own 5 watts, still loud enouth to reproduce the effect, but less harmful to your teeth.

Actually that's Luke's new cell phone, the Frampton "Bluetooth"!!

They passed a new law in California as of July 1, 08, that prohibits holding a cell phone and driving at the same time; it has to be "hands free".

Luke thought it meant while he was playing his guitar.

off topic: that Radiance Red Luke looks killer under stage lights

+1 on the radred! Especially the LE with the black headstock that's on the road with the man right now.

It's a Heil Talk Box. I was able to take a look at his pedalboard after the show.

I thought that was a beer line???

Hahahahahaha, cool I've always liked them.

No, I don't think so. At least I didn't notice any liquid flowing upwards in that hose!

Thanks...that just settled an argument!! (That argument was: Is the solo on Stab in the Back guitar through a talk-box (or sim effect), synth, or a trumpet sample Pro-Tooled to death?)

PS Looks like I won the argument!

I don't know what Luke used in the studio for Stab In The Back, but they mention the talk box here.........

Man, if you could suck liquid through a tube like that...

Reminds me of an ex girlfriend.
