Chapman stick in metal bands?

[Yngvai X]

Curious to see if anyone knows of any metal bands (particularly tech death or prog) that utilize a chapman stick player. The only one Im familiar with is Cynic. Prog rock (like King Crimson) doesn't count, metal bands only (and I already know Myung used one on one Dream Theater song).

For those going "huh?" this is a chapman stick: www.stick.com

Myung has on occasion used the stick live on other songs after utilizing it on New Millenium.

Man, I misread this thread as "Chapstick in metal bands?"

Really? I didn't know that, which songs?

Gordian Knot and any other project Sean Malone has done.

 

[SymphonyOfDreams]

Sean Malone still uses it quite often for his stuff in Gordian Knot (John Myung played it in a song for the the first album GK album), Trey Gunn uses a Warr Guitar wich is played in similar way as a Chapman Stick and I've heard some metal stuff from him, I dont know if the guys from Zero Hour or Spiral Architec use it... in fact, I think Spiral Architec have it for one song if I'm not mistaken, played by Sean Malone...

I dunno why touch style instruments are not used as often for metal... they sound sweet! and make up for some amazing musical ideas... but they are not easy to play, and the fit a certain sound that not all bands are looking to reproduce...

Take Away My Pain from FIIF & Misunderstood from Six Degrees...if l'm not mistaken he played the stick on the recordings of these also.

I play some Stick on the Suspyre songs "Serpent I Am" and "The Singer." The next album will feature a lot more, hopefully.

Laundry's "Blacktongue" album had a Stick player (as did, I believe, Laundry's 2nd album)

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

LANA LANE's live bass player uses one, too. I forgot his name, though.

 

[Palabra de Dios]

I went to the Stick's website to see how much one costs, and at two grand easy, it's probably no wonder it's not in many bass/guitarists' arsenal.

That's a lot of change!

 

[Pellaz]

For THAT price, you could buy a theremin! (I think.)

If you head over to Metal Archives and search chapman stick under the lineup setting it will give you a list (albeit a small one) of bands whose bassist have made use of it.

Fuck yeah, I didn't think anyone else remembered that band.

I believe Barend Tromp played some chapman stick on the Lemur Voice album 'Divided'. Cracker of an album too.
