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.
Holy crap that's Bissonette on drums...... Dude gave me and my GF backstage passes on the Skyscraper tour just because I recognized him out at the mall before the show.....super nice guy. Introduced me to Steve Vai....also a super humble and quiet guy.....blew my dates mind.....it was our first big date and we went backstage.....

I'd heard of the name Spinal Tap in the 80s when I was in High School. "That's one of those rock bands people like. I'm not interested, like AC/DC etc". 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.
How Dare You!😮 Blasphemous words, you utter! You’ll pay one day! May God save your Wretched Soul. “Oh farther, he does not know from which he speaketh!” Your immortal soul is at steak 🥩 !
The thing I find so hilariously ironic is that they're a fake band, but they're ACTUALLY playing their instruments and singing....whereas so many 'real' bands lip sync and/or use a ton of backing tracks/pre-recorded stuff.....

Their English accents are fantastic. I've never seen American's pull it off so well. You can usually spot the mistakes, but they have all the nuances, perfectly
They should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They are just as real as any band out there. Wish Squiggy could of joined the group. Lenny and the Squigtones were funny.
My aunt was the set director for the L&S show. I remember attending the cast x-mas party held at her house in LA back in 1978. Everyone was there from the show except Penny Marshall. I tugged at Carmine's famous blue satin sport jacket and he turned around and belted out some opera lines.
He was fantastic - their best drummer ever. But that parachute dive onto the stage was one step too many. (there wasn't much parachute involved in all honesty ...) Seeing Spinal Tap play to pre-recorded drums for the rest of the gig was heartbreaking ... that's not what rock and roll should be (the pre-recorded drums were excellent though!)

Can't believe I did that ... here's my corrected list (thankyou so much!) .. I've also since got a Floorgasm and included Nightwish ... nowhere near Tap, of course, but a worthy entry into this pantheon of Gods that have shaped that one word we call "Rock and Roll": 1.

@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.
What I love about the Tap ... these guys can really play ... and write ... to combine that with the subtle humour is genius. My ex sister in law, when watching the rockumentary.. thought it was a real rock documentary and that were all idiots 😂😂
This song has so many musical nods to Jethro Tull. Not the narration or the hilarious and pretentious lyrical content so much, but the singing, power chords. and chord sequences. It's such a great song. "Hundreds of years before the Dawn of History..." LOL
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?".
I've always loved this song. One thing I always found odd, though; everyone knows that they are a fake band, but there are actually quite a few people that don't know they are an American band pretending to be an English band.
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.
Guest and Shearer also have very strong links to the UK. Christopher Guest (Baron Haden-Guest) is a member of the British House of Lords, and Shearer maintains a residence in London.
I once read, based on their British accents, that the "real" Spinal Tap was actually real American Actor/musicians playing in a Fake British Band made up of Americans with fake British Accents. This was pre internet so easier to hide this info.
Last night I was watching a video of an obscure early 70's band and the comments turned to taling about Spinal Tap. This morning this video was offered by TH-cam. Thanks, saved me from searching.
I saw Spinal Tap in concert at the Beacon Theater, in NYC, years ago and it was the best show ever. Even the opening act, The Folksmen, was terrific. On a scale of 1-10, I rated the show 11.
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.

1:19 those 18" tall Stone'enge triliths crack me up so much. I totally want to make one of those for my music room now....I'll use it to lift my amp up off the ground.
How can that still make me crack up after 40 years of seeing the same gag. 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.
I saw them in the 90's in Orlando. When they did Stonehenge, you heard a loud crash, and hundreds of small little rocks fell down, like it was too big, and broke. lol One of the greatest shows I've ever seen. I compare seeing that show to what it would be like seeing the original Led Zeppelin lineup in concert.
This band, with the help of Much Music, rocked Canada in 1992 on Canada Day, they did (4?) Gigs across the nation, following the sun west, we partied in Richmond b.c. all day watching it, hot day, drinkin' throughout, cars all put away, I actually taped the gigs on a VHS tape .Spinal Tap killed assz
An amazing number of people still think Spinal Tap is a real band...By far the greatest rock spoof and parody ever made....ROCK ON FOREVER TAP!!!...lol

They were actually called The New Originals- there was already another band called The Originals.
Very Sad 😔… it’s a curse I tell you!
May they all RIP 🪦!
This song always makes me think of how hard it must have been for their manager to find mandolin strings in the middle of Austin in the early 80s.

No sex and drugs for Ian, David.
Never has there been a more seamless transition between electric guitar and mandolin in rock history.

When you have a band as good as Spinal Tap, there are no wrong notes anymore.
Just re-interpretations of the right ones.

You were just joking 🙃. Jokes are ok.👍🏻
This is my favourite ever prog-folk-metal song about Stonehenge.
Best band I ever saw live. Witnessed their defining gig at the Electric Banana in the Village. Don’t look for it, it’s long gone.
