thread_title: Jimmy Page using an E-Bow?

message: Tool's "Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann)" sounds like an eBow throughout the entire song.  If anyone else can confirm this then it should be added to the list.

message: Confirm for me (or not) whether Nazareth used the ebow on "Love Hurts."  It could have just been feedback (which I used to do "With or Without You" in a band in the '80s), but the original ebow does predate the song, and I've seen them use it live. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Otcconan (talk • contribs) 03:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: This article needs a list of songs using the subject as much as Guitar and Piano do. A couple of examples to point out what it sounds like will do just fine. I won't edit because I'm a lazy ass who doesn't usually like to be bold, but please, someone take care of it. And the rest of the article, too. It's a mess. -The preceding signed comment was added by Nazgjunk (talk • contrib) 21:12, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: After almost five years the list is either back or was never gone. I'm all for being thorough, but this is overkill even for me... Zen Fuse Box? Really? Me not knowing the band aside, they don't even have their own Wikipedia article. Are all these mentions really NOTABLE or do users just keep adding their personal favorite to an already way too long list? I'm going to try and trim it down a bit, no doubt every user ever will disagree with their addition being removed, but I'll use some common sense. Like, removing bands without even their own article, or instances of Ebow use in just one solo or song. Also, while I'm sure many of the mentions have several musical points up on, say Linkin Park, at least they have a greater chance of being known to the general Wikipedia public.OmikronWeapon (talk) 15:38, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this list will need a regular clean-up, say once every two years or so. I have just deleted more than half of the entries, and added a line stating that performers who have only used the EBow on less than three songs should not be mentioned. Hope that helps. Further, I feel it should remain a list of other notable performers, that is to say, others from the ones already mentioned in the text. Mark in wiki (talk) 14:36, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

message: I've never read any quotes from Robin Guthrie saying that he used an EBow, nor have I seen footage of him playing with an Ebow. His impressive sustain is actually just normal guitar feedback as far as I know. 62.77.181.13 (talk) 16:38, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I find it peculiar that even Heet sounds always making reference to 3-4 songs that was made before the e-bow hit the streets. Now, Steve Hackett never ever used any e-bow on "Carpet Crawlers" or any Genesis albums. "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" was released in 1974 and probably recorded much earlier. Same with Nazareths two biggest hits: "This Flight Tonight" and "Love Hurts". The former in 1973, and the latter in 1975. Same with David Bowies "Heroes" although that one was recorded and released many years after the e-bow hit the market in 1976. Guesting guitarist Robert Fripp has never used any e-bow, neither privately or live, or in studio sessions. He just turned up his amp, stood or sat at certain places and made the guitar feed back naturally. 
The commone denominator for all these 3 people was that they were using a Gibson Les Paul of the old kind, that naturally sustained "forever" it seemed. It is much more appropriate to use 80s band Big Country as a future reference for e-bow sounds since they actually used it, exclusively, and took it further than just sustaining notes, i e like imitating bagpipes and so on. Steve Hacekt used the Sustainiac/Fernandes pickup later on though. Much later on.
I find it peculiar since all these 3 guitarists have debunked this myth several times in interviews throughout the years. Here is how Robert Fripp did Heroes in the studio. That other guitarists later on had to resort to using an e-bow only shows their shortcomings.

thread_title:  E-bow hit the streets in 1976, even if it was invented before 

message: Consider using sentences. For example, "All polyphonic models produced under the SRG brand. Commonly referred to as "Resonators", and monophonic "Sustainers" such as Fernandes Guitars (G-401), Sustainiac (Stealth Pro3),[4] and "gooseneck" microphone stand mounted types (Vibesware Guitar Resonators)."  These are phrases that lack a verb.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Empowermentresource (talk • contribs) 01:24, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
