A guitar has finally produced lightning. Rock and Roll is now officially dead.

zatojones

Fuck no it ain't. This is a sign that rock still lives

Dicknuts
Dead.

Anti-Pope

Rock is Dead! Long Live Metal!

StanleyPain

That's pretty metal.

And brutal.

But it could use some zazz.

Recently, our local news morning show celebrated Edison's birthday by having the resident "goofy guy" play around with a Tesla coil.
I think for Darwin's birthday they're planning a reading of "Of Pandas and People."

Were they trying for irony?

Did they then immediately run all the Jews out of town?

Dethklok needs to be informed.

I was about to say, this is REAL LIFE DETHKLOK STUFF, right here. Just make a Tesla coil about 30 times the size of the one in the video and voila.

Now if only someone would hook a Tesla coil up to a Theramin... OHHHH SHIIIIIT.

Unfortunately, that's the second-largest solid-state Tesla coil ever built, so no giant, arena-rock Tesla amps for now.

If I'd had access to this technology in high school, there would be areas of Pennsylvania that would still be uninhabitable.

dr_rock

I did, and they are.

dr_rock is from silent hill? are you still haunted by the memories of your dead wife?

baleen

I cannot give this enough stars.

EvilHomer

Eveyone who gives this less than 5 stars is dead to me. Unless you justify deducting one star because the kid missed an obvious chance to play a few covers off Ride the Lightning.

Beat me to the Ride the Lightning reference. Good show, sir.

Keefu

Mass produce this please.

Old_Zircon
Someone already does mass-market them (kind of):

You can get much better sound quality (at much lower volumes) with the amplitude modulation method:

Zeusaphone? FUCK YES.

IrishWhiskey

Just needs to improve the sound quality a little, and we have reached the next logical evolution of Rock.

kingarthur
Then its just a matter of being able to make it shoot FIRE.

I am looking forward to an arena-rock version of this thing, shooting lightningbolts 20M high, with pyrotechnics blazing like some Wrassler's entrance theme, and the non-stop scream of the crowd, so loud you go deaf for a week, and hear ringing for a month.

METAL!!!
