Anyone planning to make a video of their own to their favourite song to post on Youtube, complete with superficially relevant images and animated captions, should watch this video first, to show how horrible such videos can be.
This is note-perfect parody, as is most of Spinal Tap.
I don't get it, what's the deal with Spinal Tap? If it isn't a real band, what is it? I don't understand shit what's Wikipedia saying about them, so If anyone knows how to define them in a simple way, I'll be grateful :) Also, what's the deal with number 11?
@ZepppeLiNe22 They are a fictional band from the mockumentary "This is Spinal Tap". They've just... kept existing after that. The eleven thing can't be explained, you need to watch the movie to fully understand it. Hope this helped :).
these guy make steel panther look serious! That why i like it, the best comedy rock you can illeagally down load? Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll or Money? you don't need either to get rock n roll anymore!
@Ikeue I didn't even know until I just saw the movie earlier today and I'm 27 haha. I think Rob Reiner would be very pleased with himself knowing that.
@EmperorofCartoons I was thinking the same thing. Wire 4 humbuckers in series, no tone, volume, all the way up, all the way up on your amplifier, to ....11
i read an interview with nigel tufnell in a guitar magazine, he modified his guitar to incorperate a rev counter so he could see how fast he was playing, it is on this video.
how cool is that!
Bad news are better though, check out "drink till i die".
"When we die, do we haunt the sky? Do we lurk in the murk of the seas?"
"I know for I told me so."
"the more it stays the same, the less it changes."
Even after all these years, the writing is hilarious.
Of course their performance is awesome, (in particular his "thoughtful face" at 2:40), and the video is top notch. Bringing in black and white clips to dance is a great idea.
Why don't we see much comedy of this caliber anymore?
@80icrazy80 no it's not in the movie, it's from the reunion in the early 90s. Yes they are a real band in that they really write and perform these songs.
