hi intrigue showed me a smashing pumpkins video of them playing Stand Inside Your Love. it's a very nice song, we both love it. but that's not the point of this blog guys, so if you want to talk about this song, take it elsewhere & GTFO or i'll have you banned using my attack dog sonuvbob

here's the video

the guitarist, james iha, has some kind of mysterious device in his right hand. you can get a good view of it at 3:00. i assembled a world famous team of analysts and they couldn't figure it out so i decided to bring it somewhere where i know i'd get the right answer

i had sonuvbob fire the entire team of analysts without severance pay ha ha ha!!

anyway what is this strange thing

oh never mind a simple search answered my question.
it's an "electronic bow", it uses an electrical charge to vibrate the string

That appers to be an e-bow

Electronic device that vibrates a string, very cool, can make some awesome sounds.
Pearl Jam has used one before also.

That is my guess.
