Great, we've got drums and guitar, who can do bass ....or keys ?  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Mind you, I'm not the best drummer (used to only one BIG drum ;) ). At least we have a kit at my drumband's clubhouse ;)

OK, there's one tiny thing wrong with the video.....the shirt....man that's the wrong Atari logo ;)

That shot of that line-up of all vector games is totally.......horny ! (at 2.11)

The electronics voice they used on 2.09 is a Speak & Spell from TI. There's a great emulator of it right here: http://www.speaknspell.co.uk

The Speak & Spell has been used in music from the very beginning, f.i. in Kraftwerk's "Computer World" uses it's voice.

Even the "on" and "off" sounds are used in "Home computer": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d8ftd_pE6c

Darth Nuno ... playing live right here (old footage  :P)

No ArcadeLifeStyle related...but ... a Star Wars homage in this one, a the very beginning of the video... between two songs  ;D

Impressive !!!!

Big points for the bass player doing slap too of course !!! Is that an Alembic ?

Replace the singer though....

Oh and for the US guys, the lyrics of the first song are NSFW  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Wahaaa, my son heard the first song and immediately recognized the intro music......he's nuts about SW (wonder why?)

Pretty funky music for you Bruno ? Thought you were more the heavy-metal type :D

Hehe... the bass player is just my ... bro'  ;D
He plays on a 'hand made' bass, by LeDuc   8)

Well, my music roots are heavy metal (started by kiss/maiden/metallica... at the age of 10/12, thanks my bro'  ;D ) ... but fall in love with funk/metal when discovered ...Nuno Bettencourt funk/metal playing style  :-*
He's my main musical inspiration at the time (and still love it now), before going to the crazy world of progressive music with Yes, Rush ... and of course the perfect mix progressive/metal : Dream Theater  8)

Opps...I'm out of topic now  ::) :P

WAAAHAHAHAHA, cool !!!
The bass sounds great, I can even hear it although the sound quality of the camera obviously isn't that great.

Nice to have a 'bro like that ! (Do hope the singer doesn't happen to be your sister....because of my remark about her singing ;))
