    Spinal Tap evolved out from The Originals into one of the top 5 heavy metal bands of all time.
    Rest in Peace former Tap drummers -
    John "Stumpy" Pepys (1964-1966) ,
    Eric "Stumpy Joe" Childs (1966-1967) , Peter "James" Bond (1967-1977),
    Mick Shrimpton (1977-1982),
    Richard "Ric" Shrimpton (1982-1999), Sammy "Stumpy" Bateman (1999-2001), Scott "Skippy" Scuffleton (2001-2007), Chris "Poppa" Cadeau (2007-2008).
    Plus nine other unnamed Tap gig drummers that passed away during Taps most turbulent evolution , 1970 through 1981.
    Tap peaked in their heavy corded thunder metal during 1970's.
    In the early 80's Tap began to struggle to keep form , but had glimmers of previous success with Richard Shrimpton on drums, RIP.

Roll on a couple of decades and I'm at work one day and it's about 2013 or 2014, I'm reading an article and my mind is blown. It turns out that rock band Spinal Tap were a parody band, not a real band. All those years I thought they were a mainstream band.

      @HEY 4Q2 That's classical music, which is very close to my heart too. Nigel Tufnel is a visionary musician.
      Here are my top 5 pieces of Classical Music:
      1. "Ode to Joy" by Beethoven
      2. "Piano Concerto No.2" by Brahms
      3. "Lick My Love Pump" by Tufnel
      4. "Music for 18 Musicians" by Reich
      5. "Duel of the Fates" by Williams
      It brings me to tears that such a visionary musician crossed all of these boundaries - we almost didn't deserve him. But that's what we got. That's what we had to deal with.

      That's not really accurate, though. They are American actors, but they are also musicians, and Spinal Tap was a real band, albeit a parody of a British rock band. They wrote songs, released three albums, and performed live. And since they're from the LA area, that makes them an American band.

    In ancient times,
    Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
    Lived a strange race of people, the Druids|
    No one knows who they were or what they were doing
    But their legacy remains
    Hewn into the living rock, of Stonehenge

    My favourite thing about this is how, after all these years, Nigel is STILL confused by the final line of the song. "What would they say to us, if we were here... today/tonight?".

    These guys parallel The Monkees every bit as much as the metal bands they're taking the piss out of. They could never have foreseen when they did the movie in 1982 it would take off and become so iconic they would actually tour as Spinal Tap and play gigs like this and The Albert Hall in front a massive crowds.

Those two dwarf guys were brilliant and those three guys are geniuses, how they're able to stay in character and speak in flawless English accents I don't know. it's it's rare for an American to achieve that, even rarer for British actor to do the reverse.
