I have seen Ween use a talk box before.
I think a talk box has the possibility to be used for awesomeness, but it's hard to make people believe that because of Joe Walsh and Alice In Chains and the like.
I don't like all the extra equipment you need in order to use a talk box though. That's a pain. Digitech used to make a device called the "Talker" that used a regular mic and could go into your amp as part of your normal FX chain, plus it had other settings beyond the "talk box" mode. It was pretty cool. Wish I had bought one.
