Better: hook up really really strange things to griffin powermates and other input devices and be a total nut on stage by twisting and mashing things to make sounds.. I remember a BT show where he had the pitch wheels on his keyboards tied to strings that tied to the ground, and the keyboards were on springs, so he would push the whole keyboard table over to bend notes down, and if he let go they would splay back and forth... bending pitch along back and forth... amazing to watch!
