Question:
I want to do Nosjavelin (The Nothing Song) By Sigur Ros as a prelude, or possibly interlude. Check out the video of thier live performance:

(Right click, save as)
I want to change the lyrics to simply:
I'm waiting/
I'm waiting here for you
Anyone else have any other ideas for incorporating different and cool music actively into worship settings?
Answer:
I do not think it is practical. The nature of Sigur Ros's music is such that you a slight change in the tone of the guitar, or the brand of crash cymbal used would change the overall feel. Of course I doubt most people in your church would know the song to notice a difference. It is all about tone, so you would never be able to accurately reproduce it.
Also do you have someone who knows how to do that violin-bow-guitar thing?

He is not playing an E-bow on the video...he is using an actual violin bow.
Also - how does an ebow mess with electronics? Do you mean in a bad way or something?

Also - how does an ebow mess with electronics? Do you mean in a bad way or something? I believe he's referring to the interaction of the electromagnet technology in the e-bow interacting with the electromagnet in the pickup system. It can cause problems, no doubt.
Ever touch a magnet to your computer monitor?
Referring to the topic posted, unless your congregation is made up of dedicated Sigur Ros fans, I don't see a problem. Come to think of it, I still don't see much of a problem, really. I think it would sound cool.
Anyway, there's only one way to know for sure. Go for it, man.

Yeah, maybe I suppose, I have one I use with some regularity and haven't experienced any problems of that nature. I thought maybe he meant PA electronics or something?

I am familar with the E-bow, but Sigur Ros goes at the guitar with a real violin bow.

hey i haven't seen the video i just offered a name for what was described
Answer:
i'm watching the video. now i want a guitar that i can use a bow on. that sounds really cool. and after seeing that video, i finally found a certain tone i've been wanting. but from what i read, he uses really expensive rack reverbs.
Answer:
I don't think it's a bad idea.
The e-bow doesn't mess anything up.
You should be able to use a bow on any guitar.

nope, he uses a cello bow.
Answer:
I don't know about changing the lyrics - although I guess you could get away with it because Sigur Ros deliberately uses "hopelandic" in order to leave the music open to interpretation.
But I think it would be cool - however, very obscure. We do a lot of preludes that I think people would know, but a lot of times, they don't.

Exactly. I don't know why people think the e-bow messes up electronics. If it did, why would anyone use it?

Actually, I would probably do it for two reasons:
1. People don't know it.
2. It's heartbreakingly beautiful music.

If it did, why would anyone use it? people use lots of things that are harmful. i guess they just consider the damage to be worth the sonic effect. besides, depending on how high your action is, the damage might be pretty slow to take effect.
i'm not sure of exactly what kind of effect the ebow has on your electronics, but personally, i would use it if i were playing lead guitar more often, despite the damages.
you'd have to get more information on the interaction of electromagnetic technology and such. when you put a magnet on your computer monitor, it messes up the RGB electomagnets. BUT...on most monitors you can degauss, which fixes it. i'm assuming there's a way to utilize the same effect when you mess up your pickups too, whatever that method is.
