Y'all see that man behind his keyboard. Pretty intense. We gotta start calling him "The mad scientist". What 'cha all think?

That's exactly what I was thinkin whenever he did a solo, he looks crazy!

Yea. The Mad Scientist replaces Dr. Fink

Yeah, I know. I was having hot dreams about Rhonda and Candy and nightmares about Renato

I love how the man plays, but wow...he looked like Emo Philips with a case of Montezuma's Revenge.

Now if only he was FUNKY

Specifically, he reminds me of THIS mad scientist:



Spider-Man villian Dr Otto Octavius (a.k.a. "Dr Octopus")

I thought the same thing! Kind like Jerry Lewis playing the Nutty Professor....

See? He even has Dr Octopus' eyeglasses!!

That's hilarious! Before that I was thinking "Get that man some surgical scrubs! He has some 'science' to perform!"

Renato is a fucking genius

I love Lisa as Prince's best keyboard foil, but Renato brings something else, and I think he brings the funk like no other

Funny, he looks more like Alan Cumming to me. But he was obviously so into his keyboards that he didn't care how he looked.

I dont give a Damn what you call him this mother funker played last night !!!!!

damn... The mad scientist was the same thing I was thinking watching him last nite

no to detract from his skill level, but for some reason I picture Renato and the asian kid from School Of Rock, as interchangeble. Do U know what I mean. A lot of keyboardist have that stereotype of being an nerd or dork or scientist type image.
