In fact, I was able to meet the whole band 92 or 93 when I found a backstage pass on the floor at a Pantera concert. Those guys, were extremely friendly and down to earth in person. I still have their autographs. Sorry for the loss of your cousin, his death shocked us all and no doubt we all miss him very much.

The Egyptian travel agency representative, a very conservative, three-piece-suit-wearing gentleman in his mid 30s, was a big metal fan, and informed us of the murder. It just goes to show, you never know how many lives your art touches, and the effect you have on people, from whatever world they hail. May he rest in peace.

    And I have that digital guitar from the commercial - totally incapable of making that sound it did in the video, that guitar is a DG-1 Digital Guitar - and it's basically a Casio MT series synthesizer in a guitar form factor. Instead of keys it uses six spring-loaded triggers attached to the nylon strings to trigger the note, and note selection is done by a membrane keypad lined up under the frets of a rubber fingerboard. Quite an interesting experience playing one of those.

    I just watched this video right now for the first time. I have been a fan of this channel for about a year and a half but that was after the publication of this video, so now that I am watching your old content that I had never seen before... I’m just baffled that you so casually mention that Dimebag Darrell was your cousin!!! I realize that is not what you want to make your channel about and it would be considered off topic but that was definitely a news bomb dropped that left a lot of us with our jaws hanging for a while because no one expected it.

    That intro. Is AWESOME!!! It sounds like a reboot of the series. But I'd prefer the older intro, since it's my favorite! Could you make a video on the new intro?

    Sorry for your loss. I was in high school when Dime as murdered, at that time I first dyed my hair pink in his honor. Kept it going until I was 23, as I decided I liked it a lot! Im a drummer, I happen to be a big Pantera fan. Vinnie is awesome.

    I have the MT-520. The tones do leave a lot to be desired unless you are trying to get that retro video game sound,... then this keyboard hits the nail on the head.

    My wife and I got a full 88 key digtal Piano (Korg) from the 80's when Her father passed away. We kept it for a while and then ended up selling it to a family who's child was taking piano lessons. so for now I'm back down to just my Yamaha PSR-E403 (which sounds better than the old Korg ever could, but lacks weigted Keys) Some day when I have money and space I will upgrade but for now it is as it is.
    I always find your channel Interesting. Keep up the good work.

    The band director said he had no musical talent. Years later, he composed and recorded a little symphony on a crappy 1980s keyboard. Take that, band director!

    Fun fact: The drum samples on the Super Drums keyboards, and on the later ToneBank keyboards all came from a sample tape that was produced for the RZ-1 sampling drum machine. Loads of cool stuff on there, but it was evident that they recycled an awful lot. The RZ-1 is a neat piece of gear!

    8:49 - This was my first Keyboard I recorded on, I recorded my own album with this Keyboard.... mine was given to me and I remember the times I spent in my room with it also I brung this with me to school for (90's kids) show and tell, man I was a musically talented kid/teen.
    I was the Music King at my private school and class! nobody could have touched my expertise in Keyboarding then at a young age.
    It died cause of battery leakage and I threw it away, I regret that to this day, I always will, there is nothing like this Keyboard in my book.
