Do You Know What Instruments Were Used In THESE Songs??

I’ll be honest…I had to look up what some of these were and I had to research out how some of these sounds in these songs were even made!!
By the way…with the videos that I posted for some of these songs…most of the sounds or odd instruments were hard to use or duplicate in a live show so they had to…improvise! Can you see where these bands did just that here? Or did they just leave it all out??
