Fun fact: on IMDB people can rate all movies on a scale of 1 to 10. Except for This is Spinal Tap, where the rating scale goes to 11. Not a joke - they actually implemented that exception into the website.
The algorithm gods brought this video to my attention and I'm glad it did. Since this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and it never gets old I had a beer and watched it with you. You guys are fun. 🤘🎸🖤
Haha thank you algorithm gods! Truly a timeless classic and so glad to hear you enjoyed it with us, it was a laugh to do and great to hear that it came across! Thank you for the kind words, it means the world to us. (Can’t go wrong with a cold one, we are experts in that field) Rock on 🤘🖤
@@VenegenceCame here to say the same. It’s so obvious you guys are musicians because you totally understood how absurd tuning the violin is. Awesome reaction, except for points deducted for referencing We Built This City, lol.
I saw 'Spinal Tap' perform on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival a number of years ago. ( I used to work at the festival as a stage manager/compere, but only on one of the smaller stages). It was great. Thanks for sharing your reaction,
Fun fact about the tiny Stonehenge: that actually happened but in the other direction. Black Sabbath (I'm pretty sure it was) ordered stage-props of Stonehenge, but whereas in the movie, they mixed up feet and inches, in reality, they mixed up feet with metres, and the damn things were absolutely gigantic.
Haha what an image! Art imitates life! I buy it considering Black Sabbath has a song called ”Stonehenge”, can definitely see the Sabbath boys doing that. Thanks!
Black Sabbath's Stonehenge was designed to fit through the enormous loading docks of arenas, but when, like Spinal Tap, they ended up playing smaller venues, the Stonehenge was too big to get into the venues.
The Skull from their set was left under an overpass in Seattle (their last show location) in a fenced in yard until some people salvaged it and had it in a recording studio here for a long time... i can not remember where it ended up... The Roseland Theater in PDX ... found the bar back, the bar front (different doors from different directions), and other rooms before we found the stage. Is what happens when you put the green room on a different floor than the stage and let the vocalist lead the way -- by the time we found the stage we were all yelling 'Hello Cleveland" of course - to the point where that was the first thing screamed into the mike - the audience lost it. ... man i miss working with bands and live shows. I have watched this film with several bands and this was total memory lane, thanks chummers...
The Stonehenge gag came from Black Sabbath, for their upcoming 1983 Born Again tour they ordered a Stonehenge set and used meters instead of feet, it was so massive they couldn't fit it on the stage and had to have a new set made from scratch. I was going to see the Born Again tour with my dad in Vancouver, sometime about September, Ian Gillan's only album taking over from RJD, Quiet Riot was the opening band. They cancelled that show because Geezer had bronchitis, by the time the tour started up again they were scheduled for Vegas so my dad took his girlfriend and left me in Vancouver because of school. I never got to see Sabbath live but I saw Quiet Riot with Kickaxe and Whitesnake in October, 1984.
Bald guy with the glasses who was the band leader for Dave Letterman was Paul Shaffer, he was the keyboardist and musical director for Thin Lizzy when they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They played along with a full orchestra and Paul wrote their parts. The band leader for Conan O'Brien was Max Weinberg from Bruce Springsteen's E-Street Band, his son is Jay Weinberg, drummer for Slipknot.
20:22 I believe this scene was film at the Airport in Fargo, ND. It is an international Airport and is used by dignitaries to the US without hubbub. If you listen to the background intercom, you'll hear of flight a flight coming in to Fargo, ND.
I think you're the only people I've ever seen watch this who actually got the violin gag. Not that he tries to play the guitar with the violin, but that he then pauses confused and TUNES THE VIOLIN! lol. I die every single time.
Wow, I did not know that was Bo Diddley. That part might be my favorite joke in the whole movie. Getting lost in the culverts, the janitor giving incomprehensible directions, them trying to pep themselves and then ending up back at the janitor. It is so great.
It makes me sad how many people don't get that bit... but at the same time... it's an in joke for those of us who play instruments. First time I saw it I nearly choked laughing.
He coined Rockmentary, actually. It was used for non-satires later and also the originator of the genre "Mockumentary" which Christopher Guest (Nigel, who is oddly, the 5th Baron Hadon-Guest in the UK, making Jaime Lee Curtis "Lady Hadon-Guest" if she really wanted.
First time I saw it was with a local band on the club circuit I used to hang with. We were high and drunk. They were called 'Last Crack'. Good band. Kind of in the where are they now file.
♫ Elton John, what's that flower you've got on... ♫ You guys are the first reactors to notice that everyone was playing a bass, for Big Bottom. You were also the first to recognize Paul Shaffer. In addition, you caught that Hubbins was just playing chords, and the song was pretty flat, without Nigel's lead. This film is always a treat to watch, and I'm glad that even after all this time, it's still recognized as a parody. Perhaps, in ten more years or so, that might not be the case. There is a similar movie that deals with folk music, and stars the three main guys, in a folk band. It's called "A Mighty Wind". It's a documentary, if you will, a mockumentary of Folk Music. Another good film, with music as the topic is "Rock of Ages". It's a musical, and it's not quite as organic. It has Tom Cruise in it. It's kinda like a cross between Grease & Zoolander, except musically themed.
Well shit. Came to watch you guys watch Spinal Tap and left a fan. I like the music. Def a Good Jam. Hope to see and hear more. Sorry it took so long to find you. 🤘😈🤟
*New Subscriber* : That was very fun. Great interaction and reactions from you all, and the video editing was superb ! More please. Just watched your song "Electric Giant" Lappland Woodstock 2018 - it's great ! More songs and videos please. I'll watch your back catalogue here. Greetings from this Irish guy living in Prague, CZ !
Irishman in Prague that’s sick! Haha. We have some news to share! Due to the insane and fantastic response to this video, we've been working hard on multiple projects. Including music and more like this! But warm greetings to you for taking the time to check out our stuff. It means the world sincerely! (One project is released next month right here on UA-cam. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you again.)
After not seeing this movies for many years, it was cool to see some of the stars: Harry Shearer - Ned Flanders Fran Drescher - The Nanny Paul Shaffer - Letterman Show Of course Elton John.
I have probably seen this film probably a hundred times and I still keep catching jokes. I never noticed the drummer's "date" in the post-Stonehenge scene 28:11 was a transvestite.
In 1985 I saw Spinal Tp in concert in San Francisco They do play really good for a big band. They actually released an album with these tracks and it was called break like the wind Tour
If you guys enjoyed "This is Spinal Tap", then you might like "A Mighty Wind". It's the same guys from the band, but it's a folk band this time. It's another mockumentary that captures the reunion of 1960s folk trio the "Folksmen" as they prepare for a show at The Town Hall to memorialize a recently deceased concert promoter. Other cool things about the actors in the band:
-Harry Shearer (bass) provides many voices for "The Simpsons" such as Principal Skinner, Kent Brockman, Mr. Burns, Waylon Smithers, Ned Flanders, Reverend Lovejoy, formerly Dr. Hibbert until 2021, Lenny Leonard, Otto Mann, Rainier Wolfcastle, Scratchy, Kang, Dr. Marvin Monroe, and Judge Snyder, among others.
-Michael McKean (guitar and lead vox) was most recently in "Better Call Saul" as "Chuck" and was amazing in it. -Christopher Guest (guitar) has been in many things as well, like "Stanley S. Squarepants" in SpongeBob, and an evil 6-fingered man in the 80's classic "The Princess Bride".
It's not at all surprising the amount of raw talent in the actors in this... this sort of film is extremely difficult to pull off with this much tongue in cheek seriousness.
The janitor who gave the band directions to the stage was a real venue janitor. The reason he was able to play it so straight was because giving directions to bands was an utterly normal occurrence.
In on interview Ozzy was talking about that and said that he was always the a$$hole in the band that would take the little glow-in-the-dark tape arrows they'd put on the floor and turn them the other way so his bandmates would get lost.
They were opening for Iron Butterfly on their little tour to check the music (no one could really hear the lyrics, so it worked). However, one of Iron Butterfly was sick and they could only play a limited set, so Iron Butterfly OPENED for Spinal Tap for at least one performance! They did a tour for "Break Like the Wind" and all my friends went and dressed as a "Spinal Tap" audience so it was awesome! Elon Musk is not personally attractive now, but the Tesla cars' sound system goes to 11, and their top end fast monsters have "Ludicrous Mode" (Spaceballs!)
Fun Fact: Spinal Tap was originally supposed to be a 50s rock band called Lenny & The Squigtones from the tv show Laverne & Shirley, they were already a fictional band with singles and an album and performed live shows as well as television appearances throughout the 70s and early 80s. Lenny & The Squigtones was Squiggy (David L. Landers) the lead singer, Lenny Kosnowski (Michael McKean) guitar, Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest) guitar, Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) on bass although Dwight Knight played bass on the album, Lars Svenki (Murphy Dunn) on keyboards (He was Murph, the keyboard player for The Blues Brothers too), and Ming The Merciless (Don Poncher) on drums. David L. Landers wasn't on board to make a movie so the rest of the band, minus Lars and Ming renamed themselves Spinal Tap and got a 80s metal image, Lenny also had to change his name to David St. Hubbins since Lenny Kosnowski was a trademarked name.
Tons of great scenes in this movie, especially if you are knowledgeable about music, guitar playing, Classic Rock and everything surrounding that era. IMHO the best of the best - according to me and my music/classic rock loving and devoted hobby musician buddies - is Nigel's "trademark" solo. Specifically, not the ridiculous cliched triplets and horrible bending early on, not playing a second guitar sitting on a stand with his foot, and not playing the strapped-on guitar WITH a violin (they probably had to resuscitate Jimmy Page when he saw that), though all of that was brilliant and hysterical). It's when he takes a moment to tune the violin. That killed me and my hobby musician buddies, and it got the biggest reaction from the guys in Venegence. I just don't get the references to Elton John - my first "musical love" - I graduated from early '70s pop crap to real music when I got his first Greatest Hits album in 1975 when I won a radio contest.
It is such a great moment the tuning part, we laughed even more about that then we showed! Haha. The timing and execution of all the clichés are flawless! It is making fun of and showing us why we love it at the same time, can’t get any better than that! I don’t think we even know why so many Elton references haha! But we love him, and you as well for watching so thanks!
The reactors probably had no idea how many famous American comedians showed up for this movie. Also fun fact, Paul Schaeffer was also the musical director for the movie "The Blues Brothers" His reputation goes much further than "David Letterman".
Oh yes! At least 1 of us did! Haha. From Dana Carvey, Rob Reiner to Billy Crystal. All legends! Blues Brothers is in 2 members of the bands top 10 list haha! Thanks for watching.
@@Venegence that would be awesome! Have you seen any of their reunion concerts from the 90s? They played a show somewhere in Europe, & did big bottom & every living legend bass & guitar player joined them on stage- all playing bass guitars! Hysterical!
@@markcatanzaro9699 Oh shoot! No but thank you for the tip! Some musician cameos with Spinal Tap sounds fantastic haha 🙏 Def going to check it out with the boys!
So let's see... Mick Shrimpton exploded on stage, Joe "Mama" Besser "Got tired of this four-four shit" and went off and is presumed dead or playing jazz, RIC Shrimpton joined for the Break Like the Wind tour (Mick's twin brother that no one knew about, both portrayed by Ric Parnell who actually passed away of natural causes not too long ago), he allegedly sold his dialysis machine for drugs, no one knows what happened to Skippy Scuffleton, though as I recall he looks an awful lot like their current, most long living drummer, Greg Bissonnette (but I cannot find anything confirming that Greg played Skippy AND himself anywhere online)... and Viv allegedly got killed while visiting Mick's grave which exploded (of course) and was replaced by CJ Vanston (under his real name) from Break Like the Wind forward, so honestly you could say that the 2009-present lineup is the most stable Tap's ever been. Kind of like the Steve Morse versions of Deep Purple or the post-Bill Wyman, pre-Charlie Watts-death lineup (including touring/unofficial members like Daryl Jones) of the Stones. And like Deep Purple and the Stones it just feels WRONG somehow...
@@Venegence He is a great artist and good guy but not one of my favorite musicians. More a Doors, Hendrix, Beatles, and Stones fan. Great reaction guys! Have a beer or two and enjoy your weekend.
Probably coincidental that you reference tim and Eric but two spinal tap actors are in Tim and Eric the guy who plays stumpy Pete is ed begly jr and does the Cinco phone ad. And I just forgot his name rip but the air force guy making the jokes does the traggs trough bit
hey lads this movie was mostly improvised. except for the songs of course which the group wrote. This was also the first time a backstage look at rock and roll life was shown and many bands of the day thought they had a spy amongst them that exposed how moronic and debauched they were...and they felt extremely THREATENED. lol
Nothing better than seeing band guys react to a movie about band guys. May your amps forever go to 11.
Haha! Thank you so much for the kind words, always to 11.
"Sorry for bad English, we are not drunk yet." Fantastic.😂
Haha! One can only be honest! Thanks for watching.
@@Venegence My Spanish class was easier if I had a couple of beers before class.
I'm not drunk yet either but y'all sound GREAT to lil ole me😂❤🎉
That line fits perfectly with the movie. And then to speak perfectly fluent English with only an accent... lol. It was fun watching
Yeah, that’s as far as I got too…
Fun fact: on IMDB people can rate all movies on a scale of 1 to 10. Except for This is Spinal Tap, where the rating scale goes to 11. Not a joke - they actually implemented that exception into the website.
This movie was so great. That afterwards the actors started touring as the band, Spinal Tap. ✌️
"You can't really dust for vomit" 🤣🤣🤣 Man . . . I'll never get tired of that line.
We can now.
The algorithm gods brought this video to my attention and I'm glad it did. Since this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and it never gets old I had a beer and watched it with you. You guys are fun. 🤘🎸🖤

When he tunes the violin, lol I die laughing every time.
Haha! Absolutely one of the greatest moments in the movie.
@@VenegenceCame here to say the same. It’s so obvious you guys are musicians because you totally understood how absurd tuning the violin is. Awesome reaction, except for points deducted for referencing We Built This City, lol.
The White Album did have something on the cover, something very important to sales. In large capital letters it said "THE BEATLES"
I saw 'Spinal Tap' perform on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival a number of years ago. ( I used to work at the festival as a stage manager/compere, but only on one of the smaller stages). It was great. Thanks for sharing your reaction,
That is sick! The legends in action. Thank you for watching!
Good to see the boys all together doing the two things we all love:
Drinking and Elton John
Elton John?? Er...No.
Fun fact about the tiny Stonehenge: that actually happened but in the other direction. Black Sabbath (I'm pretty sure it was) ordered stage-props of Stonehenge, but whereas in the movie, they mixed up feet and inches, in reality, they mixed up feet with metres, and the damn things were absolutely gigantic.
Haha what an image! Art imitates life! I buy it considering Black Sabbath has a song called ”Stonehenge”, can definitely see the Sabbath boys doing that. Thanks!
@@Venegence that's a deep cut! Proper sabbath fan I see 😅
Black Sabbath's Stonehenge was designed to fit through the enormous loading docks of arenas, but when, like Spinal Tap, they ended up playing smaller venues, the Stonehenge was too big to get into the venues.
Spinal Tap had the problem of the Stonehenge prop being too large as well, in the 1994 "Break Like The Wind" video.
They also had a dwarf dressed as a devil baby climbing on top of it.
I enjoyed watching the band drink.
And we enjoy drinking! A win win situation so to say, thanks for watching!
The Skull from their set was left under an overpass in Seattle (their last show location) in a fenced in yard until some people salvaged it and had it in a recording studio here for a long time... i can not remember where it ended up...
The Roseland Theater in PDX ... found the bar back, the bar front (different doors from different directions), and other rooms before we found the stage.

I have watched this film with several bands and this was total memory lane, thanks chummers...
If we get the opportunity to scream "Hello Cleveland", in Cleveland life would be complete haha! Thanks for sharing and watching!
You guys are hilarious, reminds me of high school days watching this with my friends 🤟🏼
That was so much fun watching a band react to this movie! John Elton!
🤩 PS: Your music sounds great! Loved the track at the end of the video!
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed the mayhem and the music haha!
My favorite line, which wasn't shown here, was "As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll."
The Stonehenge gag came from Black Sabbath, for their upcoming 1983 Born Again tour they ordered a Stonehenge set and used meters instead of feet, it was so massive they couldn't fit it on the stage and had to have a new set made from scratch.

I almost spat out my coffee when David is pissed over that a midget... almost tripped over Stonehenge on stage!!
You have to do more of these.
Please.
I miss that, hanging with my old band , getting buzzed and riffing. Keep playing music guys.
We will, thank you!
Never realized how much Elton John is in this movie.
Haha! Right? But it is very much appreciated.
Bald guy with the glasses who was the band leader for Dave Letterman was Paul Shaffer, he was the keyboardist and musical director for Thin Lizzy when they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They played along with a full orchestra and Paul wrote their parts.
The band leader for Conan O'Brien was Max Weinberg from Bruce Springsteen's E-Street Band, his son is Jay Weinberg, drummer for Slipknot.
I think this is one of the best reactions to this movie because you guys got all the music and gear jokes.
20:22 I believe this scene was film at the Airport in Fargo, ND. It is an international Airport and is used by dignitaries to the US without hubbub. If you listen to the background intercom, you'll hear of flight a flight coming in to Fargo, ND.
This was excellent, boys. If this is your only journey into movie reactions, then it was definitely the best movie to end with.
We are definitely not stopping here, after much work and other stuff coming in the way we finally are getting it going again! Thank you for watching
I think you're the only people I've ever seen watch this who actually got the violin gag. Not that he tries to play the guitar with the violin, but that he then pauses confused and TUNES THE VIOLIN! lol. I die every single time.
23:40 (man who gave directions behind stage)
The Great Bo Diddley, legendary guitarist.
Wow, I did not know that was Bo Diddley.
That part might be my favorite joke in the whole movie. Getting lost in the culverts, the janitor giving incomprehensible directions, them trying to pep themselves and then ending up back at the janitor.
It is so great.
Great reaction video. Hello from Cleveland...really
Only musicians laugh when he tunes his violin.
Totally agree, the perfect punchline for us musicians haha!
It makes me sad how many people don't get that bit... but at the same time... it's an in joke for those of us who play instruments. First time I saw it I nearly choked laughing.
Spinal Taps influence on Elton John cannot be overstated
Nice to see caught when they were about to crack up after the "...dust for vomit..." gag!
He coined Rockmentary, actually. It was used for non-satires later and also the originator of the genre "Mockumentary" which Christopher Guest (Nigel, who is oddly, the 5th Baron Hadon-Guest in the UK, making Jaime Lee Curtis "Lady Hadon-Guest" if she really wanted.
Hopefully your drummer lives longer than theirs.
First time I saw it was with a local band on the club circuit I used to hang with. We were high and drunk. They were called 'Last Crack'. Good band. Kind of in the where are they now file.
Goa editing skillz, grejt kåntent! 🤘
Best documentary ever
You guys need to watch 'Bad News' a very funny mockumentary about an English Heavy Metal band. It's a classic.
♫ Elton John, what's that flower you've got on... ♫ You guys are the first reactors to notice that everyone was playing a bass, for Big Bottom. You were also the first to recognize Paul Shaffer. In addition, you caught that Hubbins was just playing chords, and the song was pretty flat, without Nigel's lead. This film is always a treat to watch, and I'm glad that even after all this time, it's still recognized as a parody. Perhaps, in ten more years or so, that might not be the case. There is a similar movie that deals with folk music, and stars the three main guys, in a folk band. It's called "A Mighty Wind". It's a documentary, if you will, a mockumentary of Folk Music. Another good film, with music as the topic is "Rock of Ages". It's a musical, and it's not quite as organic. It has Tom Cruise in it. It's kinda like a cross between Grease & Zoolander, except musically themed.
Love the shoutout to Red Fang!

Fun fact: The bassist has been a regular voice actor on The Simpsons since the beginning of the show.
Harry Shearer was in movies long before that.
He was also involved with SNL. Writer and on screen.
After not seeing this movies for many years, it was cool to see some of the stars:
Harry Shearer - Ned Flanders
Fran Drescher - The Nanny
Paul Shaffer - Letterman Show
Of course Elton John.
And the funny Billy Crystal scene..’Mime is money!’
Dana Carvey was also in this movie - see if you can spot him

Michael McKean - Better Call Saul's elder brother
I have probably seen this film probably a hundred times and I still keep catching jokes. I never noticed the drummer's "date" in the post-Stonehenge scene 28:11 was a transvestite.

This is a classic,but Bad News takes it up to twelve!
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
1:48 Notice that the umlaut is over a consonant.
I swear to God. This is funniest movie ever. The fact that they all learned their instruments to do this. Smell The Glove, Shark Sandwich. Sex Farm
Only 3 parts of the movie are live. The rest are done in front a of a screen in a studio. Limitations in budget and tech.
You have to look at the video of Spinal Tap in concert with David Gilmour playing bass.
Will do! Thanks for watching, and the tip!
They were opening for Iron Butterfly on their little tour to check the music (no one could really hear the lyrics, so it worked). However, one of Iron Butterfly was sick and they could only play a limited set, so Iron Butterfly OPENED for Spinal Tap for at least one performance!
They did a tour for "Break Like the Wind" and all my friends went and dressed as a "Spinal Tap" audience so it was awesome!

Dales pale ale! ,,,, Brewed just down the street from me
I love that the interviewer is Meathead from All in the Family
Spinal Tap actually released a second album called Break Like the Wind
...which was immortalized on The Simpsons in season 3 episode 22 while on their World Tour of London, Paris, Munich and Springfield.
One of the best films ever made. Turn it up to 11!!
Tons of great scenes in this movie, especially if you are knowledgeable about music, guitar playing, Classic Rock and everything surrounding that era. IMHO the best of the best - according to me and my music/classic rock loving and devoted hobby musician buddies - is Nigel's "trademark" solo. Specifically, not the ridiculous cliched triplets and horrible bending early on, not playing a second guitar sitting on a stand with his foot, and not playing the strapped-on guitar WITH a violin (they probably had to resuscitate Jimmy Page when he saw that), though all of that was brilliant and hysterical). It's when he takes a moment to tune the violin. That killed me and my hobby musician buddies, and it got the biggest reaction from the guys in Venegence. I just don't get the references to Elton John - my first "musical love" - I graduated from early '70s pop crap to real music when I got his first Greatest Hits album in 1975 when I won a radio contest.
It is such a great moment the tuning part, we laughed even more about that then we showed! Haha. The timing and execution of all the clichés are flawless! It is making fun of and showing us why we love it at the same time, can’t get any better than that! I don’t think we even know why so many Elton references haha! But we love him, and you as well for watching so thanks!

@@Venegence that would be awesome! Have you seen any of their reunion concerts from the 90s? They played a show somewhere in Europe, & did big bottom & every living legend bass & guitar player joined them on stage- all playing bass guitars! Hysterical!
@@markcatanzaro9699 Oh shoot! No but thank you for the tip! Some musician cameos with Spinal Tap sounds fantastic haha 🙏 Def going to check it out with the boys!
The first time I watched this movie, I thought it was pretty good. The second time I watched it, it became a permanent fixture in my top five.
Absolutely, we are definitely going to watch it again some day haha.
Hello Cleveland!!
❤ A NEW FRIEND IN THE USA!
❤️ Thank you!
Swedish death metal is the greatest thing in the history of ever. I’m so happy I’ll dig this movie.
Never seen a band with four brothers.
I think the football shirt is Shrewsbury Town, not Sweden. 🤘
Touché! We owe our drummer an apology! Haha, thanks for watching.
let me know when you play bavaria. i will be there
So let's see... Mick Shrimpton exploded on stage, Joe "Mama" Besser "Got tired of this four-four shit" and went off and is presumed dead or playing jazz, RIC Shrimpton joined for the Break Like the Wind tour (Mick's twin brother that no one knew about, both portrayed by Ric Parnell who actually passed away of natural causes not too long ago), he allegedly sold his dialysis machine for drugs, no one knows what happened to Skippy Scuffleton, though as I recall he looks an awful lot like their current, most long living drummer, Greg Bissonnette (but I cannot find anything confirming that Greg played Skippy AND himself anywhere online)... and Viv allegedly got killed while visiting Mick's grave which exploded (of course) and was replaced by CJ Vanston (under his real name) from Break Like the Wind forward, so honestly you could say that the 2009-present lineup is the most stable Tap's ever been. Kind of like the Steve Morse versions of Deep Purple or the post-Bill Wyman, pre-Charlie Watts-death lineup (including touring/unofficial members like Daryl Jones) of the Stones. And like Deep Purple and the Stones it just feels WRONG somehow...
Haha yeah that’s crazy man
Everyone always seems to miss Fran Drescher whenever watching this movie. She and Paul Shaffer go unrecognized.
I did not know Elton John was so big in Sweden.
Elton John is god
@@Venegence He is a great artist and good guy but not one of my favorite musicians. More a Doors, Hendrix, Beatles, and Stones fan. Great reaction guys! Have a beer or two and enjoy your weekend.
Spinal Tap Bassist Derek Smalls Returns With Barbie-Slamming Single, ‘Must Crush Barbie’
Probably coincidental that you reference tim and Eric but two spinal tap actors are in Tim and Eric the guy who plays stumpy Pete is ed begly jr and does the Cinco phone ad. And I just forgot his name rip but the air force guy making the jokes does the traggs trough bit
The Air Force guy was Fred Willard
Oh yeah! I remember those now! ”For those of you who travel by ship!” Haha! Great fact
The drummer is the voice of a large chunk of characters on The Simpsons and the main singer you would know from Better Call Saul (Not Saul)
Bassist, the drummer(s) die.
"Beer Break!"
The original "THIS IS SPINAL TAP" was an incredible "tour de force" in the genre of SATIRE.. So many people did not get it.. I did.
if you like this you have to check out the Rutles a brilliant sendup of the Beatles.
Thanks for the tip!
The Blonde girlfriend is depicted as being a "Yoko Ono" creating division amongst the Band members.
Small point. The actual title is 'This is Spinal Tap' not Spinal Tap.
You gotta do more!!
I suggest The Return of the Living Dead,Smoke 'em if you got 'em(Australian film) and Magma Trianon 2000.❤
That moment you realize that a made up, farcical band from the 1980s is better than most real bands today.
hey lads this movie was mostly improvised. except for the songs of course which the group wrote. This was also the first time a backstage look at rock and roll life was shown and many bands of the day thought they had a spy amongst them that exposed how moronic and debauched they were...and they felt extremely THREATENED. lol
You should probably do another movie. You all were fun to watch!
Thank you so much! Who knows, maybe we will! *wink wink*
@@Venegence Maybe the Elton Johm biopic Rocketman ;)
Is vengeance deliberately misspelled?
We prefer the term ”modification” haha, but yes i guess you can say that!
NIgel Tufnel looked like Bruce Dickinson~
11 is great, but Stonehenge is over the top
Reportedly, Aerosmith thought that the movie was based on them.
Sorry for bad English we are not drunk yet is a line that should have been in the movie.
BBC iPlayer volume goes up to 11
the electric bannana was a real place in pennsylvania
Hey nice fact thanks for that one! Just looked it up, legendary punk acts playing there. No joke!
Interesting that a reaction recognises Paul Schaefer. None of the American reactors I've watched seem to know who he is.
Thank Blues Brothers for that one haha!
Totally. I think I saw him first on Letterman, and then on snl/Blues Brothers. @@Venegence
Please react to Some kind of Monster, Metallica.... It's ace. Great reaction guys. I also checked some of your tracks... Great stuff.
Thank you so much, appreciate it!
