ArcAttack Electrifies Texas Rockfest pt. 2

[disgruntledgoat]

Solid state coils quite literally rock :-D

[Sephiroth1219]

Jordan Rudess has to try this!

[Derotehwookie]

that is freaking awsome! i really approve of this kind of creativity jolly good show!

[Heavensburden]

Nerdgasm... this girl just had one :D AWESOME!!

[styr13]

Anyone else thinking Force Lightning?

[xiphas7]

@styr13 My friends and I are building a replica of the tesla coils, some faraday suits, and are gonna fight with swords for epic winsauce.

[ChintanHossain]

I wonder how long it will take for him to be sunburned in the face or get corneal burns from all the UV.

He's probably breathing in a whole lot of ozone and nitrogen oxides too.

[ExTheremintal]

My dream is to be that man someday. That's just awesome.

[daffyduck789]

this is just awesome

[pbazmikey]

lol doctor who theme song is beast

[CrystalChord2010]

This is absolutely marvelous. I'm so happy that they played the full song. What kind of suit is he wearing, though?  Is that the reason why he's not a fried crisp on the ground? :D

...This makes me want Tesla coils now by the way XD

[DDTea]

@CrystalChord2010 It looks like he's wearing a full-body Faraday cage. He's definitely wearing one on his head. Electric charge moves to the exterior surface of a conductor, so yeah--that's the reason he's not hurting.

[FusionZero13]

Yeah, it's like a wearable Faraday Box. He's got a rubber suit underneath and the chain suit hes got on touches ground. The electricity just flows right through the suit and dissipates into the floor

[wulfae]

I love the fact that they did the whole song, and knew that the people who'd likely be wanting to see singing lightning bolts would recognise the classic Doctor Who theme!

[Rith9789]

I wasn't Expecting this. It's pretty badass though.

[lpetersson]

This was nothing short of amazing.

What was the music though? I recognise the modern Dr Who theme, but not the rest. It sounds a bit like Chariots of Fire...

[samm0905]

it was all doctor who

[IAMED2]

It's actually all Doctor Who. The part you say is like "Chariots of Fire" is the seldom-heard B section of the theme.

[logandarklighter]

Proof that SCIENCE ROCKS!!! ^_^

[crazypicturelady]

The inner mad scientist in me says

Mwaa ha ha ha!

[cagwa]

Dude, did you see that? F'n trippy, man. Hehe.

[Belkiii88]

Conscript reporting

[tasrill]

SCIENCE!!!

[puklen]

Yes!

[thelightguy1]

If Nicola Tesla were around to witness this, I am not sure how he would react.

[jwdundon]

he would stare for a few minutes, then think.... how to use it 'practically'....

[Parsecironclad]

It is my hope that somewhere, Tesla is looking down at us with a grin. I think that the performer in him would approve.

[Greenfire4m]

@thelightguy1 I think he would be suitably impressed, he saw the future of the world in electricity. He made a display at the world fair hes not above public displays using electricity to awe people.

[iva666]

omfg ! thats SO EPIC !

[klemo86]

Faraday "box" powa :D

[xenbear]

that guy reminds me for all the world of captain larry dart from the 60s puppet series Space Patrol ...he even ooks like he's wearing a 'molung'

[mszs]

And don't go to him during the performance and ask for a autograph!

[scionofgrace]

Awesome. Especially considering the story of the original electronic arrangement. Love the guy in the chain mail suit - truly sci-fi looking to have lightning bolts shooting out of his fingers, just to make music!

[IrriduccibiIIi]

May the force be with you

[badfender223]

A truly electrifying performance

[rocketman5000]

Ha ha. This is awesome. For the fnale they should've sprayed the crowd with iron filings. Raiders of the Lost Arc ending.

[sgottlieb]

Dr Who meets Dr. No!

[uploadJ]

Love it; great show! 5/5

[ueberRegenbogen]

I think a variation of the original Darbyshire arrangement, with minimal accompanyment would have been better. The disco beat kinda sucks and distracts from the sound from the zaps.

Very cool demonstration though. :D

[filmbrew]

WAY TO GO!!!!

[lachatdelarue]

Holy crap, that is frickin awesome!

[303430]

MAN! I've always been a true "Who-Bee"!! love the tune...Doctor Who!!!

[crazypulsar]

Crazy!! I want try that !!

[badfender223]

An absolutely "shocking" performance-sorry I couldn't "resist" that one!

[arcattackmusic]

it took me about 3 days...but i just got the resist joke....

[xquake]

Completely Awesome. Well done guys!

[darkdream11]

He's regenerated again!......introducing the Mad Conductor of Plasma--straight from the citadel of the TIme Lords---Dr. Parsec!

Very sorry to have missed this.......

[Parsecironclad]

Tee hee, thanks for the kind words! I ended up stopping at a Master's degree so I don't qualify for the Dr. title unless I maybe adopt super villian status. Hmmm...

[StrengthBeyondgym]

i soooo want to be in an episode of Dr. Who......

[sleepwalker213]

Now that's entertaining a crowd!!!

[eleven38]

dr who!!!!!!!!!
