The Sex Pistols

The Misfits

Poison

Nirvana

you forgot the Red Hot Chili Peppers :beatnik: :grin:

That RHCP clip is really good if you haven't seen it. They're made up as/ imitate different musicians throughout.

if you liked that one, did you try Window in the Sky ~ U2 or Smiley Faces ~ Gnarls Barkley?

So I'm a Stunner, Radhi and Martin ? :grin:

The clever video got me interested, and then I found myself liking the song. I didn't know it was as recent as last year though. My son, Peter, wouldn't vote for it - he likes their earlier work ! (I still think it's The Beatles 2nd in the clip).

I'll check out those others tomorrow Martin. :)

Right now, shower, shave, and watch the last episode of 'Medium' for the season. Good Night All !

:headphones:

Medium finished, and I had a look at the RHCP video again !

I'll go along with the second lot of Artists being a combination of The Beatles and Buddy Holly & The Crickets in the light of this article I found...

For a while, speculation as to which bands and artists were portrayed was common. However, in the June 2006 issue of UK Classic Rock magazine, Flea was quoted as saying, "We mainly did eras, not actual people: rockabilly, British Invasion, psychedelia, funk, glam, punk, goth, hair metal, grunge, and ourselves being the sum of all those parts". The clip finishes with the Red Hot Chili Peppers as themselves again, with flashbacks to the imitated artists featured earlier in the film. While the band's appearance was intentionally generic in each scene, obvious nods were made to certain specific artists, including Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Bootsy Collins, David Bowie, Glenn Danzig and Nirvana.

Which is exactly what Radhi said. Eras, not people. Sorry !!!:)
