Pendulum putting this in their live show is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

@@krsztgh7883 Limmy was being funny at Limmy's cost. Do you think a man with a straw sellotaped to the side of his head and using an opened up VCR as a deck is taking himself seriously? Limmy even reacted to the clips of him and seemed genuinely happy to see it, you don't need to be offended for him.

[@KevinFeeley_KHF]

Kids these days are probably surprised to see someone use a VCR like this, but this was how it was done back in the day at all the top clubs across the world. Just jamming out to the DJ twisting the tape.

Limmy never gets enough credit for his pioneering work in VCR DJing

[@hastekulvaati9681]

He is definitely in my top 5 VCRDJ’s.

[@errorgorilla]

I used to work for Granada TV Rental and the amount of times we'd have to chase out a DJ who'd quickly whipped the top off of a Finlandia NICAM stereo video just so he could perform an impromptu version of the tweekin' acid funk mix of Josh Wink's Higher State of Consciousness. People forget what a scourge it was at one time.
