Ok - that creed one is pretty great but go here http://www.wired.com/underwire/2008/02/watch-the-parod/ and check out the Maiden video - wait till Eddie comes out! - and Clapton for a shredding sax and keys section. I think Creed takes it though.

Gabe is the one responsible for me playing bass. I was listening to his band and thought, Wow, bass can actually be a lead instrument.

Anyone know who Gabe is? Hint, alt-rock. Emphasis on 'alt'.
