Wobble wins with 7 seconds of continuous bleep.

Oh, and the Wedge looks kinda silly there to me .. but it sounds insane.

Vincent Gallo is paying $15,000 for a wedge over at http://www.travisbeanguitars.com.  Yep, that's right, $15,000.

This is the song that turned me on to PIL - Careering on the Old Grey Whistle Test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9O2tsIb ... re=related

Sure the wedge sounds great, but just listen to that bloody prophet 5!

That was pretty good, they even played Problems although they had said they would not play 'old' Pistols songs (apart from the controversial Belsen). At one time, somebody through a pig's head on stage.

If I remember well, Keith Levene did not play a Wedge at that gig.
