Aspiring metal heads looking for some wow-inducing theatrics can take a cue from Glasgow-based musician, Steve Conner (who goes by the name Scopeboy). He plugs his guitar into a Tesla coil!

As you can imagine, it obviously doesn’t sound pretty, as Conner explains in his blog:
Of course, it’s not about making pretty music, anyway. While the video’s picked up a lot of attention for Conner, he’s still waiting to hear back from Trent Reznor and Muse.
