Talk Box Rock and Funk

Here's a video of Stevie Wonder demonstrating to David Frost the capabilities of the talk box and keyboard, and another of Roger Troutman, who used a talk box and a Minimoog to create Zapp's signature sound. 

Roger is featured on almost half of today's Talk Box Funk tracks -- with Zapp, Scritti Politti, 2Pac, Kool Keith, and Keith Sweat.  Roger and Zapp were a major influence on the West Coast "G Funk" sound of Dr. Dre, DJ Quik, Warren G, and others. "More Bounce To The Ounce" (a classic of talk box funk) has been sampled in over 300 songs.

It's a talk box twofer today! The second feature is Talk Box Rock, which is mostly metal from the Nineties and the Naughties.  Guitarists gettin' tubular with the talk box include Dimebag, Slash, Eddie VH, Kirk Hammett, Jerry Cantrell, Tom Morello, Dave Navarro, Dave Grohl, Steven Drozd, Richie Sambora, Mick Mars, Zakk Wylde, and Lil' Petey Framptone himself.
