Hahaha!  Santana's keyboardist playing a little Final Countdown.

This reminds me of a skit I saw yeeeaaaars ago, I can't remember the show, perhaps someone will know, but someone was taking the author of a 'Easy Teach Yourself To Play Guitar' book to court because it didn't work.
And to prove his case he got in these famous guitarists as witnesses (I want to say Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, that sort of thing), and they would come in, play some great guitar and then get the 'Teach Yourself" and suddenly they would be complete crap. *plink*plonk*twang*

The Metallica song cracked me up.  Thanks for the link.

I agree, the Metallica and Malmsteen are the best.  I thought I didn't know who Malmsteem was, but I got a trigger in my head:  Was that they guy who was gonna bring the FURY on the plane?  Heh, Yup.

I sent the Metallica one (since that's one of the few still on myspace/youtube) to a bunch of my myspace friends as a Valentines.

Hope they watch for more than two seconds!  Or they'll think I'm just sending them 'One' for no apparent reason.

Now that all the videos have been purged from YouTube, maybe this thread could be merged with this one... because these videos are just way too funny to miss! Damn you YouTube, and thank you Wired.com!

Nigel takes the time to TUNE the violin.  I love DVD's.  I can show my dad clips of this and Blues Brothers--I can be like "Oh Oh Oh, there was this scene!"  Then show the scene I was thinking of!

I would love that, Rude.  I certainly assumed I wasn't the first here to discover the Shreds--just maybe the post-YouTube method of finding them.

How does that work, combining them?  I'm all for that!

It's from French and Saunders, it's one of the side skits featuring their incidental music band Raw Sex.

Victor Lewis Smith did something like this on one of his many BBC shows, I remember his version of Hey Joe being remarkably awful
