The funny thing is... Spinal Tap are probably better than 95% of the hard rock bands going around today. And I'm being serious... they actually are a fucking good rock group!
@yellingelk I agree.Musically Big Bottom, Majesty of Rock, Gimme some money and some others are way superior than many trash vomit produced by many famous pro bands. And Infact Nigel Tufnel isn't that bad a guitarist either.....
I saw this tour and it really was awesome. Universal Ampitheatre in LA. The band was very tight too! Great show.
This drummer looks A LOT like none other than Mick Shrimpton, who toured with Tap on the "Smell the Glove Tour." He spontaneously combusted on the final show of that tour during "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You" to be replaces by Joe "Mama" Bess for the Japanese tour. I am telling you though, I am 99% sure this is Mick Shrimpton.

Is that hilarious scene with the guys doing mundane activities supposed to be a parody of the dream sequences from Zep's "The Song Remains the Same"? haha.
@LadyEdgar maybe, it looks more to me like they all left and went off doing things while nigel did his solo, maybe a nod to the old school 40 minute drawn out guitar solo lol pointing out you probably could go eat something in a restaurant or get a facial and still get back in time before its over; )
That was exactly the joke. Led Zeppelin actually thought what they were doing was cool. Needless to say, they were idiots, too. Led Zeppelin, Neal Peart... what the hell is wrong with you people? This is Spinal Tap!
@IshadaKatzteilov yes i got that lol thats why i SAID IT, thanks for telling me i got the joke lol and as for spinal tap, fuck spinal tap, i hate spinal tap because they are the greatest band who have ever formed and i will never have the wit of nigel ;p )
Nobody ever mentions this, but that drummer fuckin' rocks. I don't know his name, but I hope he never spontaneously combusts.
Additionally - Martha Quinn still (25 years later) is spank-worthy. She never returns my calls, and I'm positive that the restraining order is her idea of a joke...
why cant my own generations bands be as good as this. i got to a music college and nothing any of my mates are into can touch spinal tap or anything from the 60s/70s/80s for that matter. lol
I can't believe all those people who still think Tap is not a real band... They are big parodies of themselves in the end, but did play, sing and write all those songs themselves... so yes... they're comdians/comedy writers aswell as musicians....
They should get more credit for the songs they write.
I think that's the real joke....while everyone's laughing these guys are putting out semi-decent to decent riffs and songs. It's like they're joking about joking and they are serious as all hell but are really joking.
You dig?
They are better players than tons of other shit bands.
here they make a parody onthe main character from "clockwork orange", when singer says GLADNI, GLADNI (which means "hungry" in russian and serbian), just as Mark does in the movie...
