Snakefinger 09 - The Model

Live at the Vic

[@chriskellas2902]

Sadly after Phillip passed away in 1987, the bass player Guy Carson went on to form the SF based band "The Potato Eaters" they lasted from 1989 to about 1998. I was lucky enough to be their sound engineer, and get to know that great bunch of people!

I saw the Potato Eaters once at the Great American Music Hall. I think Guy went on to manage the Cafe Du Nord?

Brilliant reimagining of a Kraftwerk staple by the inimitable Snakefinger. I love the eerie synths played by Eric Drew Feldman, and how Snakey combines blues slide and Hawaiian steel guitar styles.

I'm a fan of Kraftwerk and I play the lap steel... so this cover is heaven for me

[@tedfurlo2268]

any idea/guess which lap steel tuning Snakefinger used?

[@tubeutubeuful]

All while rocking a Residents tshirt

[@andybyron1]

I remember when I bought snakefinger's debut album. And what an album! To hear Kraftwerks big hit at the time reimagined by this guy with The Residents as backing band?? So cool

Another legendary icon from his solo stuff to the residents! He had a Midas touch. Peace Christo 👽🐕🎶🛸☮️

[@lsimon33]

Unbelievably amazing. Thanks so much.

[@jonnypineful]

This is too cool, never thought I would see this.

[@d.l.loonabide9981]

Pretty sure the guys in kraftwerk never thought their music would be played on a lap steel.

[@geoffreypiltz271]

Kraftwerk started out playing conventional instruments. On their first album "Kraftwerk" they played electronic organs, guitar, flute, violin, percussion and drums.

[@anfrankogezamartincic1161]

Can you imagine a better stage name for a guitarist, SNAKEFINGER-it sounds indestructable

[@MrPrytania1]

Brilliant cover.

[@jsoward1]

Alas, No Michael Steele, I have a serious crush on Micki!

[@brankozeljeznjak]

"model" for what you are living for ? who you really are ?

[@Dulundum]

What's he singing in german, at the end?

[@tubeutubeuful]

Ja

[@vtpnp]

The same original lyrics.

[@GreasyFilms-qc1xo]

It takes guts to cover Kraftwerk and do something interesting. Here it is.

[@rainerkornmusic]

What the Fuck is he singing in German language at the end of the Song? Makes no sense at all

[@vtpnp]

Just listen to Kraftwerk and you will notice why it makes sense.

[@rainerkornmusic]

@@vtpnp I know my Kraftwerk and i speak German. I am in fact from Germany and i don't understand what he's singing. It is not the Lyrics of the German Version.

[@luxie8097]

from my small german knowledge, i'm pretty sure he's just saying random german sounding gibberish, with the odd actual random german word in between. i could make out kartoffel (potato), fleischen (flesh) and ausfahrt (exit). doesn't make any sense lol.
