Boston also had a note on at least one of their albums, which mentioned 
that no synthesizers were used on the album. Except for trying to act like 
a total snob, I don't really see a purpose for such a note. Why would they 
feel a need to tell us what WASN'T used on the album? They might as well 
have said no that no brown guitars were used on the album.  So what? Who cares?

Also, album credits are going to be very lengthy indeed, if bands start 
listing all the gear that they *didn't* use on an album.  ;)

Hey, why stop there? Why not include a list of people that you *don't* want 
to thank for helping you create your album or further your career? Why not 
take time out to list (and not thank) all the companies which *don't* 
supply you with free gear? Finally, when you publish your tour schedule, 
why not just list all the cities you *won't* be playing in?
