Marionettes Performing Motorhead's Ace of Spades (video)
Callum Hickey is the real Master of Puppets. His Pish Dolls and Incredible Singing Dolls perform rock classics like Motorhead's Ace of Spades on the streets of Scotland [download video, 15mg quicktime file]. So what if he didn't get Lemmy's look exactly right - what Callum lacks in puppet facial hair, he makes up for in pedal controlled marionettes - he's got thumb pedals for himself, and foot pedals for the kids to keep the Marionette groupies rockin'. This clip (of The Incredible Singing Dolls) was from the 2002 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, via Fulminatia.
How very cool... and this is definitely not something that you hear about every day. Converting heavy metal into puppetry? Very neat.
