Blue Oyster Cult! On the NAMM Peavey stage! But was there any cowbell? NO THERE WAS NOT! Despite there being a drumkit clearly visible. SHAME ON YOU!


(Right) Star turn at the NAMM Yamaha booth was Michael Winslow, AKA Sgt Jones in Police Academy. The ‘Man of 10,000 Sound Effects’ does a mean 808 snare, along with the sirens and machine-guns


Number of registrants at NAMM 2014: 96, 129. Number of converts to Christianity at NAMM 2014: TBC


A cult came to NAMM 2014. (The Blue Oyster kind was there, too.) Hither and sinners hither&dither

Not from NAMM, but from a wall in south London: PWL-era graffiti. The top line reads ‘I heart Jason 4 ever 100%’. Just in case you doubted their devotion


Everyone has at least one picture of this guy wandering around NAMM, right?


Slightly unsettling but hugely practical: hang your BC Rich on a Guitargrip (www.guitargrip.com). Very handy. Literally
