My old guitar player pulled up too hard on his once and the spring shot out and hit the guitar tech. (who also pierced his lip with a drum stand and had a girl fall out of the balcony and on top of him at one of our shows.)

Used both, can't see much difference in actual effect or operation. But I don't use them all that much, either. I kinda just like being able to when I want to, probably because I've almost always had trems on all guitars I've owned.

Tommy Iommi must be a huge pussy since he plays with 8's. No wonder his guitar tone is so weak.

He doesn't have any fingers. I think he has a valid medical reason for using 8s.

Yeah, I might be interested in going to see bands again if that sort of stuff happened.

Alas, this was probably over a period of a couple of years.
