    Spinal Tap, Britians loudest rock band are touring america at the moment. You can get the sights, sounds and smells from the gigs right here.

    http://www.spinaltap.com

    It also has links to some fan sites which also have tons of info.

    After almost three decades they are still rocking out old favourites from albums like
    Shark Sandwich, The Bible According to Spinal Tap and Smell the Glove.

    So stop listen to all this neu metal crap and prepare for

    Amps that go to 11

    Nigels solo's

    and

    Derek's double bass guitar.

    Big Bottom and Sex Farm are all time classic rock songs.
    Even though I was their captive, the Indians allowed me quite a bit of freedom. I could walk freely, make my own meals, and even hurl large rocks at their heads. It was only later that I discovered that they were not Indians at all but only dirty-clothes hampers.

    Excellent film...
    I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.

    Tap aside, are you talking about Nu-Metal or Neu? There's a bit of a difference...

    I was just saying that you can't group the Tap in with Neu. It's not music elitism, it's generating discussion along established convention. Just because Neu aren't the best-known band, it shouldn't prompt fears in people that anyone using their name is a music elitist...but, that said, yes I am. And y'all get off your high horses. If you are really into music, OF COURSE you'll be open minded and embrace everything from Godspeed to Gabba, but as long as you don't bull**** or try overly hard to get one up on others, then it's all good fun. Play It Cool...

    This really is not going as expected.

    I think some people may need to watch the spinal tap video.

    If these "Nu-Metallers" want a lesson in Metal they should look no further than Pantera, Slayer, Old Metallica (Before the Black Album), Megadeth, Venom, Annihilator, Sepultura (Before Max left), Testament, Sabbath and Judas Priest.

    So nu "metallers" if you think that your genre is metal... think again

    Oh for the love of .......

    Right kiddies this may be a bit of a harsh bomb to drop on you. Don't read any further if you are emotionally fragile but......

    Spinal Tap are a fictional band made up for comedy documentary. They are as real as Santa Claus, UFO's and Michael Jackson.

    I’m really sorry for breaking this to you “believers” but the current tour is being under taken by the actors from the so-called rockumentary Spinal Tap.

    This reminds me of when my brother's friend though they were real. He even worked in a music store.

    He wouldn't believe me eve when I made him watch the film smile.gif
