I still only got until Yuan Sha's amazing performance (visually too), but here are two entries in two comments.

First -- guitar bands were ascribed to me, so here is a rather special use of the guitar: beyond the usual stuff with the bow, watch out from 06:15 in:

Sigur Rós: Svefn-g-englar, concert version (11:12)

The same folk song with a guitar and a singer (plus a hundred thousand throats)....

Freddie Mercury: Tavaszi szél vizet áraszt, Queen Live in Budapest 1986 (02:01)

...and with an organ plus a few thousand throats:

Xavér Varnus: Tavaszi szél vizet áraszt, live in the Budapest Synagogue (01:49)

Thanks for pointing me to Sigur Ros. Excellent music and some beautiful videos.

And BTW, since I see your Queen singing Hungarian, I always wondered if German bands still sound German when singing English.

Who would have noticed?

still sound German when singing English.

I hear German intonation in the refrain of this Tote Hosen song, but I'm curious too what native English speakers hear.

Slight German, but I pick up more a measure of californian metal band intonation in his voice.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Here's another guitar sound--acoustic/electric, sorta blues but with raised fourths at (e.g.) 00:42-00:45.  It's a jam outside someone's house I think.  02:17
