At 1:47 in this vid a riff kicks in. The band on stage looks like Big Brother but I don't think it's them. Not that you can set much store by it, given the occasion, but the dancing's not exactly in synch...

It might of course be by Peter Sheffer, but I'm hoping it's an SF band I don't know as I really like it. It's not the Airplane or the Dead but might be Quicksilver?

Thanks.

The guitar music is the backing track of Proverbs 1:7 by Ashley Leigh. It's got nothing to do with the film.

OK, so what's the Sabs track then, please? Great tambourine.

I'm afraid I can't possibly watch your vid because of the hairstyles/spandex.

Having said that, re Helix I had no idea that Rowan Atkinson rocked out on Sunset Strip.

i thought you could separate style from substance?
i was thinking proto-sabbath, so maybe an early sabbath influence?
hopefully the supertopo heads will be waking up soon..

Yes, yes, I know.

Listening to it again the drumming is on the porcelain side to be Big Bill. And did Tone use a phaser/flanger or whatever like that? When did they come in? And although chunky, the riff gets into a syncopated skip that isn't really BS, who are more your basic meat and two veg riffers. I don't think it's QMS; don't know why I think it's SF sound, just hopin'. It has a touch of Spirit to it.

they said it was done on a computer by Mr Sheffer;(

In reply to malk:

Well, one fellow did.

But thanks for alerting them; I hoped it wasn't Sheff. I didn't know you could do that sort of stuff on a computer.
