  • Who is it?

  • softcore porn

  • looks like getty leee

  • Oh si, con una bella tettona arrapata che dice "sai ghe gosa voglio fardi vedere? il bisello!"

  • Lot of people are saying Porn music. I dunno, it sounds more like Phantasy Star music to me.

  • iTS LIKE SEX BUT ON A VERTICAL PIANO!

  • Keytars are best in power metal.  My opinion..

  • @FurbyParade226 henrik klingenberg!!!

  • what is the diffence between this and a keyboard?

  • The groupies.

  • totally =]

  • the coolness

  • @donkey2777 apart from strap on, none.

  • @donkey2777 attitude. :)

  • if the demand for keytars are so high, then why doesnt anybody make them. And im not even going to count the roland RX whatever they make now cuz it cost 1100 dollars

  • Keytars are cool. lol. If that's what they're even called.

  • omg i love keytars they ROCK ! how much did you pay for yours ?

  • two words, BAD ASS!

  • Comment removed

  • hahahahaha! I like your comment. I somewhat agree! :)

  • Well, personally I don't like the term "keytar' to discribe these instrument. A MIDI controller is a more appropriate name to me. Also, even though I am a big Roland fan, especially the D-50, I like only two remote keyboard contollers, namely: Yamaha KX5 and Casio AZ-1. They have an used AZ-1 in the music store close by. Beautifully looking keyboard. White color, and nice 80's style design.  Ditto for the KX5, but with smaller keys and Yamaha classic black/green livery. Good old days...

  • i agree a the keytar Matthew Bellamy uses actually looks like a guitar it is pretty sick

  • I got a great deal on a Roland AX-1 on eBay for £420. That's the one he has there by the way!

  • what do you have the AX 7 controlling?

  • where did you get your keytar from ,PLEASE !

  • damn, these things are so expansive :(

    I will wait for the new Rolans Synth a year or 2 or something...

    Maybe the AX7 will drop in price when the synth comes out.

  • im getting roland ax-synth too :D

  • I think 'keytar' is a very lame and stupid name for an instrument.. But anyway, they seem to be very cool and therefor I'm probably getting Roland AX-Synth ^^

  • Well, its a cross between a guitar and a keyboard, no?

    Does 'Gitboard' sound better?

    You decide.

  • Why should that 'guitar' be fitted somewhere there? For example, there is that Zen Riffer synth which some people call keytar (D'oh). It's whole name is Zen Riffer - Solo Axe, which sounds a bit better than Zen Riffer - Solo Keytar.

  • How bout a Gi-Board?

  • sweet! I love it. I'm so getting one.

  • they cost like £900

  • yeah. . .

    so?

  • I want a keytar so bad.

  • so corny.

    is he playing in a mall?

  • i think it's time keytarists made a serious comeback to the music scene.

  • listen to sonata arctica. or better yet watch their videos.

  • I agree! check our video!

    there's some other bands out there who use 'em though...

    like the other guy said, sonata arctica...

    then there's dragon force and showbread....and a bunch of others...I think dave mathews band... etc...

    keytars fun stuff...

  • Yeah!!

  • awesome!

  • That was awsom

  • 80's????? 2004 man..

    I hate this kind of sounds and music.. i just can't understand it... :S

  • As far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing. haha. I don't think there is too much to understand.

  • haha, at the absolute rocking out bit. "middle of the road rage" comes to mind.

  • you are a jedi racist! :)

  • Wasn't the Nightmare on Elm Street music made with a keytar?

  • yes it was

  • Really? I didnt know that >_> I thought It was made with just a regular keyboard.

  • nope. they didnt really use a keytar though, they uploaded its beats and sounds and stuff to their computers, cause the keyboards at the time didnt have unique enough sound.

  • Haha Cool :) Thank for the info ^w^

  • not a probleme ^^

  • haha porno music

  • haha a porno dvd i have sounds very similar to this

  • Lawl!

  • yeah gimme the thumbs up baby!!!!!!

    Ive got the porno dvd on now lol :)))))

  • It's 'cause the man's having sex with the thing! And that's fucking awesome as far as I'm concerned.

  • @maxheadroom1987 You guys watch to some old ass pron. If theres any music on a porno now its euro techno!

  • @djdavidastbury CHEERS!

  • This is the reason why the 80's will always rule! Synth forever!!!!!!!!!

  • He's playing the keytar strapped around his neck because the keyboard won't hang properly with a strap. LOL.

    He can control all of the other midi machines with his keytar too.

    This is a video about the keytar, not the keyboard in front of him. If you want one about keyboards, then search for "keyboards" and you'll find a lot of them. Maybe you'll see a keytar sitting in front of him on stage and you can then comment about why he doesn't just pick up the keytar when its in front of him.

  • Haha, this video even triggers a political discussion:''Fuck Obama!''.. ''Fuck McCain!''... ^^ hahaha...

  • I love keytars. Just love. Love love. Love (i can play...). Nice job man!

  • Keytar seems...a bit pointless. I mean, the guy had a keyboard in front of him the whole time, and even started playing on it at the end. All a keytar is (to my knowledge, anyway) is a keyboard strapped around your neck.

  • lol yeah ur right apart from the neck has like sustain etc. instead of frets

  • A keytar is a spiritual experience. You won't get it if you don't try it for yourself.

  • I fell on a keyboard and it sounded better than this.

  • HAHAHAHAHA

  • Haha youre really cool. hehehehehheheeee

  • qfuck mcCain!

  • what keytar is that?

  • roland ax-1 i guess

  • why the fuck are you people talking about politics?

    Did dude is practically shredding on this synth and all you people are bitching about is mccain and obama, yeah it's right around the corner, voting month I mean. but c'mon. Politics are a depressing issue to talk about already, let's not ruin the joy of listening to this guy play for us. Go to a mccain video to discuss such topics.

  • lol why does politics come up, this is a keytar video lol

  • exactly what I was saying. Anything, this guys pretty baller on his keytar.

  • God... I want one of those like a hippy wants peace :(

  • don't we all want peace

  • except for bush/mccain

  • true true obama all the way!

  • mcbama*

  • ?? dat makes no sense

  • let me explain:

    mccain and obama are the same shit, just with a little different flavor in each of their policies.more war, more government, no control of inflation, more welfare, and more imperialism.and yanking of our liberties.

    it doesn't matter which one of these two wins, because we are screwed either way.

    let me know what you think, without rebutting with the typical "change" or "omfg obama can unite peoples and give them hope like that is what is going to fix the econimezz!" nonsense,k?

  • ok if you think their both the same consider this. McCain will raise taxes for the middle class and medicare costs. Obama won't for families wit an income below 250,000 dollars a year which is over 90 percent. Now say McCain got president and you got raised taxes. And while this inflation is goin on you can't pay them off without losing most your stuff. Soon the small taxes gather up and the auditers take your stuff. now your on the street. One little thing can stack up to be a lot

  • bro, if you think that obama isn't going to raise your taxes, you've got another thing coming. and even then, you will still pay for his domestic and foreign policies through inflation. pfft, who needs to tax when inflation is the simplest tax of them all to execute on the people?if you tax the rich more, they will be less likely to pay (and why at the 250k mark? what about 300 or even 200? where do you draw the line?).

  • but you're exaggerating with mccain's taxes, he will lower them, but again, inflation will take care of it for him.

    either way, guy, you will end up with less money and more burdens on your shoulders. you will have to pay for obama and mccain's war (whether in pakistan or iran, depending on who wins) and their expansion of government, which, at its current level, is already draining our economy. not to mention their disrespect for our civil liberties.

  • they're the same. you just pointed out some slight subtleties which are themselves based on hollow rhetoric, mixed with typical class war hysteria.

  • eh watever its politics im not intrested as long as mccain loses cause hes gonna die soon

  • doesn't matter. either way you're screwed.

  • DUDE!!!OMFG!!! i want a keytar so bad, my head hurts, can somebody PLEASE tell me where i can get one, im starting a band with my bro and his friend and we need a keytar like theres no tomorrow...can we find them on ebay perhaps???im actually looking for a "double necked" keytar if possible, that would be fucking ACES!!!

  • o wow..thanks

  • u may be able to find a roland AX-7 does are the most reason models ending at 2007 or get a yamaha one on ebay for around 500

  • hey dude, calm down, if its gay to own/play a keytar, then why did you come here? i think you knew what you were getting into when you typed in the word, "keytar"...you know you want one, hey, why dont we get matching "tripple necked" keytars, that would be out of this world.LOL!!!

  • this is amazing

  • children of bodom and sonata arctica fuckin rule at keyboard

  • So where's the Keytar?

  • the one hes' holdin...

  • well henrik klingenberg of sonata arctica was the first one to play them as in a band

  • lol keytars were being used in the 80s in bands

  • dude i want to see janne warman on a keytar

    it would be fucking amazing

    if youve never heard of him hes in the band Children Of Bodom

  • That would be SOOOO awesome!

    OMG..Chidlren of bodom rock dude (: seriously

  • Might want to spend some time practicing with a metronome...

  • Man...The Keytar is so Cool!!!

  • someone wanna explain what that instrument is?

    what's he do w/ his left hand?

    it's more than a just keyboard w/ a handle?

    is there a string part of it?

  • It is a keyboard and with his left hand he changes the pitch and other effects basically. It is really cool watching someone play it. My Friend has

  • so that's NOT a string...

  • i disagree i have found some for a reasonal price ^_^

  • To all these people saying that Keytars are so cool, that you want one but that they are so expensive.

    Buy a keyboard a sling it around your fucking shoulders!!!

  • dude, keyboards are heavy. and keytars aren't that expenisve.

  • that keytar he is using is a roland AX1 or AX7, both well over 1000 dollars

  • lol

  • Whoa! that was fucking hardcore!

  • WOW! I have seen these things before. finally found out they are called a keytar hahha... sucha funny name hehehe./...

  • HARDCORE KEYTAR

  • lol tht was good

  • hell that was good =))))) im still laughing

  • amazing these instruments are so cool

  • Lol who was the mastermind to come up with this brilliant instrument

    "I want to play a keyboard, like a guitar!" He might have said

  • That was awesome. I can't believe nobody uses synths anymore. The reason why music is such crap now days is because everything has been done already using the traditional instruments we have and nothing is original. We've only done one decade of exploring with synths (the 80's) and that's not enough.

  • agreed.

    Work in progress of forming a band.

    Im a keyboard player at the moment, i shall be getting a synth soon too. Keytars are unfortunatly expensive to obtain (specifically the good ones).

  • anyone else think they sound slightly like the rippingtons?

  • I Want One.

  • That's a hardcore win for the future of music!

    Death to guitars!!!

  • keytars are from the 80s lmao

  • Yes, it's almost as if the irony was deliberate...

  • almost, but unfortunately you only realised it afterwards

  • FTW! Keytar is so awesome

  • wwee fucking dont have keytars in my country

    this sucks!!!! its rare to find somthing like this!!!!!!!!

  • they are hard to find I've seen them on ebay for like 800$ and up, but i found one in my grandma's basement and was so fucking happy when I found it.

  • how much does a decent keytar cost these days?

  • how much does a decent keytar cost these days?

  • this is just freakin cool man.

  • ROLAND AX!!!!!

  • What does the left hand do?

  • pitch bend, sustain, and vibratto

  • hijo de puta cumbiero

  • keytar's rock my socks XD

  • you know what i think is one thousand times worse. Someone getting good at f###ing guitar hero when they could get good at a real instrument!!

  • that my friend is the poor mans dragon force!

  • keytar is the shit bro

  • haha, the keytar's just an excuse for a keyboardist to be the front man... its cool though, you use it good...

  • that's right! and it's Fantastic!!!!

  • haha, i never thought it was really "fantastic", you can do way more standing still on a keyboard then you can playing a keytar.

  • uh keyboardists can be the frontman in any situation. Any instrument can be the " front "

  • I would like to see a front drummer that would be quite interesting!

  • sure - I forgot his name, but there's a percussionist that made an album of just percussion songs.

  • cool!

  • The first Keytar was made by Moog in the late 70's altough the word keytar was not commonly used intill the early 1980's.

  • I prophesy that keytars will make a come back in the next 10 years.

  • ha.....hahahahhahahahaa

  • I am considering getting one...

    However, are they hard to learn/use?

  • They're quite easy, actually. Kinda like typing here on a computer. You'll get used to it over time. Way much easier than playing something like guitar, that's for sure.

  • do you know what synth is being used? that keytar is only a controller, right? or does it has its own sounds?

  • for some reason hanging a keyboard aroung you neck never really caught on. I wonder why?

  • that is so cool

  • WHERE CAN I GET A KEYTAR!!!!

  • Unfortunately, Roland stop making it. The Roland Ax-7s (the latest of all models in white) sell horrendously over a grand on Ebay. (Before Roland took it out in the market, They use to sell for $399.00 new)! Older models sell for less on ebay.

  • thanks man!

  • they sadly dont make em anymore. check ebay

  • OJD thumbs down cauze boy are u fuckin late!!!

  • i want one-i play guitar,starting piano a lil(im learnin crazy train and cowboys from hell,lol) and want to learn drums-this would be cool though

  • Dude, that was freaking amazing! I have played keyboards for 9 years and i even started a band. I was considering a keytar and this video told me i was making the right choice. my hat goes off to you.

  • 80s instrument with 80s transtional effects. Awesome...I want a keytar...can't play guitar but can play keyboard, yet wanna rock out like a guitarist...

  • I don't see why you would bring guitar hero up when watching something like this. Guitar Hero is just a game and has got little to do with playing a real guitar, or a keytar. Also, with reference to happymasksalesman's comment, music doesn't require theory, it only requires creativity.
