How awesome was it when you first realized Mikey was dragging a bow (Jimmy page style) across his guitar to make that sound in Pendulum !!???

    I loved that song as an opener! It was awesome seeing Mike bow that big white Gretsch, and then Eddie's deep voice coming out of the darkness. Gave me chills!

    Between the bow and his double neck used for "inside job" he's gotta be dying to get PJ to play a Led Zep cover!

    I think it's completely awesome that Mike is using that bow. I'd like to see more of it, from Mike and other guitarists. Jimmy Page used it in an amazing way and it may be intimidating for other guitarists to do their take on using their guitar that way but I wish they'd try. It's intriguing to think about the different interpretations of a song that we could get. In case anyone hasn't seen the amazing Jimmy Page using the bow...here you go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIHabvURnpk

    I didn't go to any shows, but did MIkey use the bow on any other song during the LB tour?

    Mikey did play some Zep riffs in Chalottesville VA at the John Paul Jones Arena.

    I agree, that's what comes to mind for me. My favourite use of the bow:
