B.B. King - Blues Brothers 2000

BB King is one of a slew of musicians who make cameos in Blues Brothers 2000. King plays vocalist Malvern Gasperone, member of The Louisiana Gator Boys supergroup. Other band members include Gary U.S. Bonds, Eric Clapton, Clarence Clemons, Bo Diddley, and Dr. John. This movie is crawling with HUGE musical legends. Unfortunately, it leaves much to be desired film-wise - especially compared to the original Blues Brothers.

Bruce Springsteen - High Fidelity

Bruce Springsteen appears in the 2000 movie High Fidelity. While he's on screen for less than a minute, total, the cameo actually serves a very useful purpose in the film, as the Boss gives Rob (John Cusack) some much-needed advice. Who wouldn't want relationship advice from Springsteen? Coolest. Cameo. Ever. Good luck, goodbye.

Twisted Sister - Pee-wee's Big Adventure

Remember Twisted Sister? Of course you do. Remember Pee Wee's Big Adventure? Freaking of course. Dee Snider and company made a strange cameo in the movie - pretending to shoot a music video (that gets disrupted by Pee Wee, hilariously) for "Burn in Hell."
