Ideas have been thrown out about what would be cool instruments, or what instruments should be part of heavy metal. Some of my colleagues and I have agreed upon three instruments which would be cool to have in a heavy metal band. 1.) Death Fiddle; 2.) Death Mandolin; 3.) Death Banjo; and of course to qualify these instruments for the metal genre the word death must be thrown in there. Now seriously think about this for a moment, how cool would it be to have a heavy metal band featuring these instruments. You got your standard metal guitarist with his wicked speed skills, the brooding bassist with the take no crap attitude, and the technically sound drummer who has a passion to hit things. Once you add the death fiddle, mandolin, and banjo the possibilities are endless. Imagine these laid back instruments roar with the most mind crushing distortion on the face of this planet. A Sonic masterpiece that may possibly change the landscape of metal, or someone's backyard. There were other instruments that may have had a chance, but didn't seem right. Such examples are; death flute, death whistle, death tambourine.....this was a close one but not close enough, death tuba, death marimba, and last but not least death clave. Rest assured that you may see these, if not already in metal band near you. =)

Death Pipe Organ wasn't in the running? And how can you disregard the Death Spoons? Or the Death Cow Bell? Journalistic integrity, indeed!
I would like to point out that there are many other intruments that were considered, indicated by the use "last buy not least" disclaimer. I felt that it wasn't necessary to mention at the time. I do thank you anonymous stranger for your valued input and will add those fine instruments to the list. As for journalistic intergrity; there is really no intent for it, just a place where the word or myself meets the pavement.
I like to make a correction. The disclaimer should say "last but not least." Apologies for the confusion. DGRA
Our reverse Penny Farthing should be added to that list...
