As for keyboards 'sounding like ass', that's vast ignorance.

To be fair, Sun Ra was a nerdy mother****er. And I guess, you haven't heard "ass" before. It sounds almost identical to a synth.

I've heard ass before but not a "bag of ass". I'm assuming a bag of ass sounds pretty amazing since synths are great.

Honestly, distorted guitar, especially in a garage blues context, literally sounds a ****load more like farts than most synths.

Besides, there's no reason digital music technology should be feared. I mean, we could move back into 1923, and imitate delta-blues like Jack White. But, some of us feel we must move forward with new technology so music can be evolved to new forms.

I cannot believe somebody would have the close mindedness to rip into an entire class of instruments, especially one that could be argued to be the most powerful, and diverse.

If thats the case, the laptop is the most powerful instrument.

The toughest guy in Flock of Seagulls is like being the fastest mermaid. Neither really exist.

They clearly know fashion though. Bet that lead singer wears birkenstocks on the daily.

Well, if paired with a midi extension, it is a keyboard. To not acknowledge the potential of either is just being stuck in old ways.
