Does Jonathan Davis still play bagpipes? Or did he give that up for porn stars?

The first time I saw Bardo Pond they had a bagpiper. (I think it was Bardo Pond? It was a long time ago.) The piper actually had a hard time being heard over their racket, it was awesome.

Godspeed!, on the first record at any rate. Also in Cardiff there is occasionally this guy in the high street that drunkenly hoots on his bagpipes. When Oxbow played last year, Eugene from the band took him off the street and invited him to introduce the band by way of drunkenly hooting on his bagpipes. The bloke didn't seem to have much idea what was happening.

Albert Ayler plays free jazz bagpipes on 'Music is the Healing Force of the Universe'

There was one on "Loaded", which definitely qualifies PS as being genuine 'baggy'

kinda random but just got an e-mail from a mailing list with the heading "Latvian bagpipes" I'm gonna post it so if anyone feels like exploring that musical worl you have the means

"you were interested in Latvian Bagpipes: here is a CD which is dedicated to the Bagpipes in Latvia and nothing else!!! you might be interested. It's from the same recording company ILGI are assigned to - "UPE"!
This is UPE's catalog. CD is called "Dudas Latvija" http://www.upe.parks.lv/english/katalogs3.asp
There is also a CD "The bagpipes of Latvia". ARC Music Productions. EUCD 1692. It's a licensed copy of the CD "Dudas Latvija".
One of the main persons behind this CD is Valdis Muktupavels - the brightest man (and Doctor of Arts) in Baltic's when it comes to history of traditional music and instruments not only in Latvia but the hole Baltic's region and even Northern Europe. If that's not enough then I can add that he is also one of the best bagpipe musicians in Latvia :-)
He even has a web site http://www.lmuza.lv/mukti/valdis.htm you might want to visit"

Did the Church use a bagpipe in Under the Milky Way? (Or was that a synth?) I've always been a sucker for that passage..

honorable mention: Big Country

Rufus Harley plays bagpipes on The Roots' "Do You Want More!?!?!!!" quite definitely the only bagpipe-laden hip-hop song of all time.

Belle and Sebastian came onstage at the Barrowlands in Glasgow last year with a bloke playing the bagpipes for Sleep the Clock Around.

Kind of. Like the drifty backing vox, the "bagpipes" were created with a Synclavier, the colossally expensive synth-cum-sampler which was America's answer to the all-conquering Antipodean Fairlight CMI. Apparently, during the Starfish sessions someone came across bagpipe samples in the studio's Synclavier sample library, and Kilbey & Co. thought, "why not?"

Parliament of course - "The Silent Boatman", best use of bagpipes in a US funk band type scenario evah.

GWAR!!!!! ("The horror of yg" from "scumdogs of the universe" iirc, which is GREAT!! and {again iirc} features barker & jourgenson to some degree)

Second only to "The Silent Boatman": "Close Watch" by John Cale.

Didn't Big Country only have a "bagpipe guitar sound" rather than actual bagpipes?

Arthur Lee used a bagpiper to particularly dreadful effect for his last encore at that Love thing earlier in the year.

"While the early Velvets included many players in Young's orbit (Cale, Angus MacLise, even Henry Flynt, who substituted for Cale on violin for a few shows at the Dom and took a couple of guitar lessons from Reed), and Reed says that Cale and Billy Linich (aka Billy Name) exposed him to Young's music at the time, his interest in the drone probably goes back to the bagpipe records Sterling Morrison heard him (Lou Reed) blasting out of his Syracuse dorm room."
