I am sure that Thomas Edison never envisioned the "loudest cylinder" ever made back when those were invented in 1899. I am sure there are a lot of folks out there that will tell us that they still love wax cylinder recordings because those just have a warmer sound. Anyway, fun stuff, but I will stick with FLAC where I can.

Check out the video.

Using an Edison Wax Cylinder Phonograph to record a live metal band.
 
That is hilarious and cool - my parents have one of those players lol - would be interesting to play that live haha.
 
Thank god we moved to digital.

for that matter , it amazes me that the interconnect for audio equimnet is still analog.
 
Ha ha ... epic.

I am a metalhead and agree this is a joke. Screamcore garbage with no vocal ability. Guitarist is banging on guitar tuned for single fret bar chords because I guess the three fret traditional bar chord was too hard to master.
 
Well, the music was not the point of the news post. But yea, it sucked.
 
The video that Kyle linked is just the process they used. Below is the finished version. It's done on Rob Scallon's second channel and wasn't intended to be an acoustic eargasm. It was just a humorous. They had to max the gain on everything to get it recorded on wax. If you check Rob's primary channel, he does some exceptional playing and many are very entertaining.

Call me a stickler, but I really don't see the point in bringing back old antiquated tech unless it has some noticeable benefits in comparison to what's available today.
