Spın̈al Tap - All the Way Home

This is a live performance by semi-fictional rock band Spın̈al Tap performing the song "All the Way Home" live at their 1992 reunion concert.
I have posted quite a few clips by Spın̈al Tap and that is because I genuinely believe that the material though funny and satiric is also pretty descent. I mean put this against any modern pop song and do quality control. Also this is one of my all time favourite films and the music always brings me in a good mood. They're satiric songs, but still very good songs in their own right.
In the film this is their fictive first single that was never released.
A pretty damn good song performed very well.
It is part of a series so the performance doesn't start right away.

Enjoy ; )

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.

Joe Satriani - Summer Song

This is a live performance by guitarist Joe Satriani. He plays his 1992 song "Summer Song" live, the performance in this video is from 2006. The song was released on the album "The Extremist" which got quite a lot of radio play and helped Satriani getting his solo career of the ground.
It's a great up-tempo rock song with a happy vibe that just brings good vibrations to the air particles it's moving. It really is a hard rock/rock 'n' roll song in the style of Satriani. He uses a wide combo of licks and techniques, but they aren't all difficult techniques and if you listen carefully you'll hear that he even throws in a Chuck Berry riff at one point.
I also love the ending where Satriani literally sustains a note where it pretty much seems like he could sustain it forever, if he wanted to. As Nigel Tufnel would say; "The sustain, listen to it.[...]you can just hold it and you can go have a bite, you'll still be hearing that one". Spinal Tap joke, gotta love that film!!
This is a great song, and an awesome performance.

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 Spın̈al 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 ; )
