Not note-for-note perfect, but pretty good. Certainly better than I can do, I have only just remembered how to play it on my record player. I luuuuuuuuuuurve that solo.
So I woke up,rolled over and who was lying next to me? Only Bonnie Langford!
Oooh, one of the nasty men "swan-dives" off the stage, and it's so insane, they show it 3 times. Those crazy kids!
I remember supporting a legendary punk band a few years ago, and the crowd didn't appreciate our thrash metal. I spent most of the set stamping invaders who wanted to kill us back into the pit, whilst avoiding spit and beercans.
What the crowd didn't know was that the punk band only had one original member left, who has gone out of his way to distance his self from his punk roots. The band had acquired 2 black female backing singers and were playing some sort of New Age crusty dope smoking music. They also refused to play any of their classic hits, saying from the very start, "That was 20 years ago, we've grown up, you should too or fuck off".
Nice move! I wish I could have filmed the reaction, it was hilarious. They turned a sell-out eager crowd into a sell-out drunken, baying hostile mob with that one sentence. By the end of the first number, our experience was nothing compared to the stage invasions and furniture being hooned at them.
We were loaded, and ready to make a hasty exit by then, and as we were slithering out, one of the spikey-haired loons whose face I had stood on came up and apologised, said he thought we were excellent, and if he could get the main act off-stage, would we go back on.
Erm, yes mate, sure, whatever.
I have no idea what happened after that, we were outta there!
"We're going down the pub" indeed. Tossers!

Bumping, cuz I find it easier to check this thread for cool Youtube shit. So, just randomly looking through youtube tonight, found Marty Friedman doing a take on Little Wing. Didn't see it posted before (search included). Think it's from his instructional video. Not extremely long, but he manages to keep the feel while putting his own spin on it. Plus some added shit at the end.
