Guitar RockStar for £14.99, drunken air guitar while you’re Dancing in the Dark might make you feel Hotter than Hell. But at last, the Guitar Rock Star can give you More Than a Feeling. SORRY… but we just can’t help it. One look at the latest piece of musical kit from iwantoneofthose.com and we’re leaping around faster than Jumpin Jack Flash. This little beauty is perfect for those who were born to rock - but whose musical talents are less Led Zeppelin and more Les Dawson.
The Guitar Rock Star is a handy gadget which is made up just of the guitar machine-head, and the very top of the fretboard. Switch it on, and invisible infra-red beams appear in place of the remaining fretboard and strings – just strum away, and you’ll sound like the missing member of Pink Floyd. OK, well, maybe Status Quo. As well as covering all the basic chords from A to G, there are even buttons for sharps, flats and sevenths to give you all the notes you need. Hey, it’s only rock and roll. But we like it.
Rolerball for £999, this gigantic Rolerball is simply awesome, potentially dangerous but nevertheless awesome. Once inflated this behemoth stands about 3 metres high and the idea is to put it at the top of a slope, strap yourself in and roll down the hill trying not to lose your lunch. Inside the centre shell are two harnesses, you could have 2 people feeling the adrenaline rush together. There is a version of this mad sport that requires you to remove the harnesses, add a bucket or two of water, tie in the seal and launch yourself off…
The ball is made from a very tough material, and comes with a puncture repair kit, but you want to be sure you’re using it in a clear area, only on provate land and with supervision. It comes with a powerful pump that will inflate it in about 15 minutes. If you’re into doing mad stuff then this is surely the recipe for it. See movie of it in action on YouTube
You can buy both these products on iwantoneofthose.com
