famous extras/cameos in movies
 

i was watching The Dead Pool on tv the other day and noticed Guns n Roses (well at least Slash, Duff McKagen and Axle) in the background during a scene at a funeral. it reminded me that The Clash appeared in the background of a street scene in Scorsese's King of Comedy. can any of you think of any other famous cameos or extras in movies? by this i mean blink-and-you'll-miss-it type appearances, not ones where the stars actually had lines or anything. it doesn't have to be musicians, it's coincidental that my examples are rock groups.

Staying with the theme of musicians appearing in cameos:

The Tragically Hip played themselves as a curling team in Men With Brooms.

Note: I don't expect anyone who isn't Canadian to have heard of either The Hip or that movie but still...

I think Tom Cruise is in one of the Young Guns movies. He's dressed up as a gunfighter and has a big fake beard so he's unrecognizable, then gets shot or something.

Billy Crystal and Dana Carvey are the mimes in Spinal Tap at the record company party. I don't think Carvey was famous at the time, though.
