I kind of envision it as Van Halen's "Jump", given how bouncy Castela always seems to be.

Well, i always did like "Jump" ... after it got fixed up a little...

I like this version.
(I actually have this CD)

If we're swapping genre-twisted versions of songs, have some Ramones...

===============

Or this version (slightly trimmed at the beginning, where it sounded too much like the Ramones and too little like That Other Band.)

Wrong and wrong.

Child of the 80's here. You do NOT touch "Jump" and "Blitzkrieg Bop."

I disdain Van Halen (low-talent wankers), and i was probably a Ramones fan before you were.

George Harrison was recording "Blue Jay Way" on my birthdate.

Harrison, Clapton, and Eddie Van Halen - three of the best guitarists ever.

Eddie van Halen is okay. The band that bears his name is an overrated, superannuated embarrassment.

First time i heard van Halen on the radio, i thought it was the Kinks, and i wondered why they'd bothered to release an inferior re-do of the most important single in rock history, when they got it so right the first time.

I'll add Richard Thompson, Junior Brown and Frank Zappa to that list. (Zappa, at least in his later years, referred to himself as "a composer who operates a guitar".)

Alright, jwhouk.
If you're going to start naming off legendary guitarists, at least give Jimmy Hendrix a spot in your lineup.

My first thought upon viewing the comic was that Atsali and Pickle were rocking out to The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again, but then it occurred to me that they may be listening to an even older wild one like Jimi Hendrix - Wild Thing (Monterey 1967).

What else might be on their play list? How about Focus - Hocus Pocus which even has a cover by Iron Maiden - Hocus Pocus. We mustn't forget Deep Purple - Speed King or the Rolling Stones - Start Me Up. I'm sure that there is some Aerosmith - Walk This Way and AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

There may even be some garage band sounds such as Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit and of course a suitable spoof from "Weird Al" Yankovic - Smells Like Nirvana. Rock on sisters!

Then there was Nudge's Van Halen cover...

Thanks. I was wondering if anyone would LOL that.

I thought I was being clever but 100x more is this:

An item at Fark.com mentioned workmen at the Victoria Station in London
were pumping grout into cracks, but inadvertently filled an equipment room
with about a foot and a half of fast drying concrete.
This damaged the signal electronics and the trains were shut down as a result.
The two word story summary:
"Victoria's Sacrete".

(One Internets to you, sir.)

And you, sir, must deposit one piece of railroad-themed lingerie in the Pun Jar for repeat perpetration of a pun.

Randy Rhoads, B. B. King, Chet Atkins, John Williams, Agustín Barrios. . .we could probably spend years compiling a list, really. And even more time arguing over it.

It's been argued since the first person bent a stick and strung some wires between them and started strumming.

Toot Whistle Plunk and Boom

(I'll add a link as soon as i get to the computer.)

She's not famous, but Catherine Denise is a local guitarist that I love to go see live...
