Spın̈al Tap & Albert Lee - Break Like the Wind


This is a live performance by semi-fictional metal band Spın̈al Tap and Albert Lee playing the song "Break Like the Wind" live at the Royal Albert Hall in 1992.
The song is of Spın̈al Tap's album of the same title released in 1992.
As said, the band is semi-fictional. It's the band from the famous mockumentary (even though Christopher Guest hates that term) "This Is Spın̈al Tap". It's a legendary comedy that mocks rock 'n' roll and throws allusions to a lot of different rock and metal acts. It's one of the best and most quotable films of all time.
The album featured many guest artists, and on the album version of Break Like the Wind it breaks down at the end, and a bunch of guitarists join in: Jeff Beck, Steve Lukather, Joe Satriani and Slash.
On this live version they have Albert Lee who of course can't play like all of these guitarists. I think he does a very good job however, and it's a fun and enjoyable performance.

Enjoy ; )

Spın̈al Tap - Christmas with the Devil

Merry Christmas!!
So it's Christmas eve, and I thought I'd share one of my favourite Christmas songs with you. It is: "Christmas with the Devil" by Spıal Tap!!
Ok, but in all seriousness, I do think this is a very good comedy Christmas song. It makes fun of Christmas and the metal, hard rock and even blues music's obsession with the devil, and combines it with Christmas. Brilliant.
The video is from the Arsenio Hall show, and the volume is very low on it, so you probably need to crank your speakers to 11 if you wanna hear any thing.
Any ways, merry Christmas!! Happy Holidays etc.

Enjoy ; )
