Too bad YouTube doesn't lend itself well to high-quality audio so we can really hear that bass. It's the auditory equivalent of C64 porn (NSFW). posted by rolypolyman at 6:30 AM on July 9, 2007

It would have been better without the dipshits from Metallica. Sure, you can't hear them individually, but the caveman looking guy and James Hetfield are not pleasant to look at, let alone hear.
Still, that was very impressive. posted by SansPoint at 7:12 AM on July 9, 2007
This just in, a young James Hetfield and several members of Suicidal Tendencies were seen kicking SansPoint's dog.
You haven't seen Spinal Tap, I'm guessing. posted by Blazecock Pileon at 7:14 AM on July 9, 2007

On the plus side, that's the most technically accomplished playing we've heard from Hammett in decades. posted by Wolfdog at 7:17 AM on July 9, 2007 [2 favorites has favorites]
I always figured that Metallica was denying the world four very hardworking gas station clerks. How do I know they'd be hardworking? Because after all, they're not exactly coasting by on talent... posted by Pope Guilty at 7:37 AM on July 9, 2007 [4 favorites has favorites]

While nowadays 'Big Bottoms' might seem a little retrograde, or old-fashioned, or non-'PC', it was nontheless the first work to propose a correlation between the looseness of the waistband and the depth of the quicksand.
Thereby opening up a whole realm of scientific study. posted by Flashman at 8:37 AM on July 9, 2007 [4 favorites has favorites]
Flashman, of course, you cannot forget Dr. Mercury's exploration of the link between large posteriored women and the rotation of this "rockin' world". Without his groundbreaking research, The Tap's project would have never been undertaken. posted by SansPoint at 8:49 AM on July 9, 2007 [1 favorite has favorites]
Did they do Stonehenge? posted by gfrobe at 9:00 AM on July 9, 2007
SansPoint I thought those findings were the work of Doctor Mercury's colleague, Professor May. posted by Grangousier at 9:33 AM on July 9, 2007

Aww, I like the cave man dude in metallica. With all thier pissing and moaning, he seems to be the only one who is out there to have a good time.
I also just happened to watch the antics of Mick Ronson in Ziggy Stardust And the Spiders From Mars this weekend and now I know where Nigel Tufnel got his guitar face. posted by 2sheets at 10:45 AM on July 9, 2007

posted by gfrobe
YES! They opened with it! And they are on the way to an appropriately scaled Stonehenge model. The two uprights must have stood AT LEAST 4 feet tall. No top piece though. posted by The Deej at 10:48 AM on July 9, 2007

No, the top piece came down late, at the end of the song. posted by chrismear at 2:29 PM on July 9, 2007

You know, I saw it twice, and never caught that. posted by The Deej at 3:09 PM on July 9, 2007
As much as Spinal Tap rocked, I must admit I could never get my head around the obtuse poetry of their lyrics. For example, "I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo" - this seems to be a very misogynistic line, most likely playing on The Village People's In the Navy, because who other than gay submariners would paint their torpedoes pink? posted by UbuRoivas at 4:24 PM on July 9, 2007

Yes, but they say "Love your brother." Well they don't literally say it. They don't literally mean it. But the point should be obvious. posted by The Deej at 5:48 PM on July 9, 2007
Cocks? That's a bit of a long bow. I suppose you're going to try to tell me that "ploughing through your beanfield, poking your hay" is anything but a tribute to the healthy outdoorsy lifestyle that one enjoys when working on a sex farm? posted by UbuRoivas at 6:12 PM on July 9, 2007
Man, that's fucking awesome. I remember the first time I saw the movie, and the folks I were with didn't get it. They didn't get that it was an invented band or anything. Needless to say, they were not my friends after that. Who needs that much obtuse in their lives? posted by Eekacat at 7:47 PM on July 9, 2007

Thanks chrismear! That's hilarious! I have no clue how I didn't see that. I must have started chatting with my daughter between songs and looked away.
Whenever I see some sort of performance where the result is underwhelming, I often look at my friends and just say "Stone'enge!"
I was actually once responsible for my own Stone'eng Effect. I was MC of a dance recital. At the last minute, they asked if I knew how to produce a blanket of fog onstage for a certain number. I knew how, in theory, but did not have the right equipment. Cut to the punchline: The dancers went about their dramatic performance with a tiny bucket of dry ice bubbling over in the background, creating a "blanket" of fog about an inch high and a foot in diameter. (Hey, in rehearsal it actually produced quite a covering! But that was with the front curtains closed, which trapped the fog. Once the curtains were opened, the prevailing airflow was toward the stage. Stone'enge!!!!!!) posted by The Deej at 6:28 AM on July 10, 2007 [1 favorite has favorites]
Damn Deej, I just checked out your flikr page. Awesome photography. Srsly. Are you a pro?
And if the blonde haired girl is your daughter she is quite the beauty. I'm guessing she was adopted? or a stepchild?;) posted by vronsky at 1:06 PM on July 10, 2007
Damn vronsky, thanks.
Not a pro, in that I don't make my living from photography, but I do sell a few prints here and there, and I do send work out to publishers now and then. (Nothing on the market yet, though.) I also do some for-hire photography.
Yep, that kid is a cutie, and with my DNA yet. Her chin is mine, but she bears the most resemblance (no offense to her estranged mother) from her aunt. Not only is she better looking than me, but she is much smarter.
Thanks again. posted by The Deej at 1:31 PM on July 10, 2007
