Means he can't get many dynamics playing like that. Cant pick near the bridge (or even between the pickups) and the controls may as well be disconnected.
I should mention that as of late 2017, that's no longer the case. Tatsu Mikami (the bassist and driving force behind the band) put together an American lineup (Dave Szulkin, Eric Little, and Scott Carlson) to record a new album in early 2016, called And Then There Were None (sort of referring to Mikami's situation). However, those were session members. By 2017, he had a lineup again, this time using Hiroyuki Takano, Yasuto Muraki, and Junichi Yamamura. Church of Misery is now touring again, and I've heard the new lineup is fantastic!
i really belive they would be more of a mainstream act if not for the serial killer gimmick they got a great sound !! bad ass !! so much more then a novelty act
