Audiophiles and Gearheads - is there any other hobby that has more pseudoscience?

I can't say I know what a bad acid trip is really like but I would imagine it would be similar to that.

Okay, but did you listen to them? These two boys from PQ are kicking extraterrestrial ass this year. That performance has had 20 million views, and the comments are priceless. I'll add that just listening to the CDs vs. watching them play are two completely different experiences. They even got a writeup in SciAm earlier this year explaining why everyone loves them so much.

And for the musicians in the room (in case you didn't catch it), both of the necks on that custom axe are microtonal.

Ya I admit it was pretty cool music but the visuals were pretty freaky and kinda set me back.
 
Well... I feel you. I confess that if I watched Johnny Horton (or Jim Reeves) play it'd probably give me the chills that only strong drink would bring me back from.
