Sounds like shit!

Michael Angelo Batio uses some shit to stop his strangs from twanging round. CAUTION: XTREME DIDDLYWIDDLY.
Don't know anything about these. I stumbled that page, and wanted to ask if anybody knows anything about those. These are placed between the nut and tuning pegs at the headstock. Aren't hairbands and MAB shit used at the other side of the nut, at the fretboard.
List of fucking things you can use to stop string vibration without leaving your cardboard box:
Fucking velcro strip. Fucking foam. Fucking duct tape. Fucking old velcro watch band that you haven't worn in years but keep around because Mickey Mouse is coming back, just watch. Fucking hairband. Fucking shrink wrap tightly woven in between and then around strings. Fucking chewing gum. Fucking cotton. Fucking torn-off shirt sleeve. Fucking mound of lint you pulled out of your dryer after not cleaning the lint catcher since Aenima came out.
For more fucking things you can use to stop string vibration, take pictures of random shit around your house, send them to JBroll along with $5USD (or a comparable amount, for those in the lesser countries across the pond that don't bomb enough brown people) and he'll tell you how to destroy your possessions and marginally improve guitar sound at the same time.

a lot of bands use tape, or a tube sock
when recordingthe hairband is nice...but come on man, tube sock

Wow .... did U notice the TESLA's 100% lamb wool???.
Believe it or not, MY string dampener is 100% wool pig and it kicks ass .... it enhances all the cool frequencies and kills the ones that suck, also boosts your "feeling" and improves your songwriting skills. Last but not least, it's a chick magnet.
You all should try it:

pumping the mids
Volume of 'residual noise' over time. Granted, without numbers that's just jacking off onto a graph, but basically the mV reading is higher when the string vibration is stronger. The graphs supposedly mean that there is drastically reduced vibration of the strings behind the nut.

danke, will have a look. that 070 string here rattles/vibrates quite a bit, and the velcro ain't cool.

Watch out, it's sharp!
I got annoying resonance on the low E string of my new Jackson Stars Soloist, so yesterday I took a little piece of packing tape and put it around the string behind the nut. Problem totally solved. And almost invisible at that.
I was getting a bit of noise coming from that exact area on my guitar. I never heard anyone mention this method of dampening before, but...
I used 2 (new) foam ear plugs under the strings, the type that expand inside your ear. You squash them down and hold them under the strings, then they magically grow and hold themselves in place. It did make a difference, and no more pesky 'clinking' sound.
The thing in the link looks dumb though.
