I hate that there's an advertisement in the middle of this clip. Do they really think that Spinal Tap fans give a sh*t about crest toothpaste? Seriously. You know what Spinal Tap brushes their teeth with? Whiskey... and the dust from a mystical fairy's vagina.
This is brilliant. It basically mocks every bitch-ass-guitarist who thinks he's better than most other guitarists by vomiting out hilarious made-up facts about sustain, body-wood, gain and ignoring the simple fact that all this shit doesn't make you a better guitarist in any thinkable way. Actually everybody who comes to me with these "facts" gets loughed at.
They didn't fool everyone. Anyone who had ever seen Laverne and Shirley, should have known it was fake right off. Pretty funny that it did fool some though.
On one hand I like this video because it's funny and I like the way Brits talk, but on the other hand this video makes me kinda sad, it shows what having money does to some people Take Nigel here take Yngwie or others They have thousands of guitars walls of amps and they keep buying more and more I live almost below poverty line as far as Canada is concerned but I already have more guitars than I need I put them on stands and look at them I haven't touched some for months
@killermeatface you might want to read about spinal tap (band) on wiki or any old metal boards , If they where not a real band then why do they have albums? from as i remember they where a pretty big name
The awkward pause between asking why he doesn't just make it max out at 10 and him saying "these go to eleven" is probably the best awkward silence ever.
Hey thanks again for letting me attach my video response. :)
This movie still inspires me today, 25 years after seeing it for the first time. If anyone reading this enjoys that era of music (70s/80s rock/metal), please check out my video. I play all of the guitars (well there are a few collaborations), and try to inject some fun/goofiness into the music. Rock on!
