That's too funny.  He looks a bit like Dr. Venture from the "Venture Brothers."

Well more than a bit really. http://media.monstersandcritics.com/art … enture.jpg

He stole that idea from Paul Gilbert. Must use a vintage drill to be done properly.

He's been doing that since the Racer X days. Here's a great video (funny dude). Drill lesson starts at 15:10

Yeah, he has a great personality. Apparently his hair once got caught in the drill during a Mr. Big show as well and then had roadies holding his hair back for the rest of the tour tongue

In fact, just found a quote from Paul about it:

I was alone, onstage, playing my solo in front of 15,000 people. I had long permed heavy metal hair. The drill was spinning. Suddenly they met! And a tangle ensued. Like Excalibur could not be pulled from the stone, the Drill could not be untangled from my hair. My roadie got the scissors, but I protested. "HAIR IS TOO IMPORTANT" I screamed. Suddenly I was surrounded by the entire RUSH and Mr. Big crew all with various plans to remove the drill and pointing flashlights at my head. Luckily I had put leave-in conditioner in my hair before the show and combined with slowly unwinding the drill by hand, the heroic crew was able to pull the power tool from my precious locks. Billy provided an impromptu bass solo while all this was going on. I think Spinal Tap would be proud.

Lets not forget Eddie's use as well.  He came after Gilbert but I think he's not using the picks in his. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvLxlVv9E5Y
