haha lite intressant läsning! :D Power drill The song features Eddie Van Halen using the sound of a power drill both in the introduction and during the guitar solo. Using a power drill in conjunction with electric guitar wasn't a new concept as Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan had used them while playing with Mr. Big, though Van Halen took the idea and improved on it. While Gilbert and Sheehan used drills with guitar picks taped to them to strum their strings very quickly, Van Halen didn't actually touch the strings with any part of the drill, instead using the electromagnetic interference generated by the drill's electric motor. The pitch of the sound changed with speed of the drill and the volume of the sound changed with the proximity of the drill to the guitar's pickups, letting him actually play notes in a method similar to that used with a theremin.
