Musical Dildos: A Cock Rock Comeback

There’s no contesting the phallic symbolism of an electric guitar, especially as wielded from the Spandex-clad crotches of a legion of hair bands. But real life metal band Anvil, the subject of the recent documentary, Anvil! The Story of Anvil, took it over the top when their guitarist, Steve “Lips” Kudlow, played his axe with a dildo

“I knew it was going to make [a] noise through the pick-ups, but I thought, ‘It vibrates. So, it’s going to make my strings vibrate as well. And it’s round, so it can be used for bottle neck.’ “

OK, so it wasn’t a dildo, like everyone has been saying – it was a vibrator. But still, we salute his ingenuity. What have we learned here? Sex toys rock! And, it just goes to show that repurposing can go both ways: if you use your imagination, you might find a practical use for your buttplug or cock ring.

Apparently there also was a dildo in the act at some point, which he brandished at the audience. Alas, the sex toys were retired because some of the band’s fans found them offensive. (We find it hard to believe headbangers would be so easily shocked, but maybe they were playing the Christian heavy metal circuit.)

But good news! Now that Anvil is basking in hard-earned media attention and gearing up for a victory tour, Lips says the musical dildos may make a comeback along with the band. Rock out with your rubber cock out!
