Actors that genuinely can play their instruments, that added so much to this film. Definitely in my top 5, and still with a bullet. Also maybe trivial to know that Shearer (bass) is the voice of Principal Skinner, Kent Brockman, Mr. Burns, Waylon Smithers, Ned Flanders, Reverend Lovejoy in the Simpsons. A must see for every (rock) musician...
Must be amazing to start a Comedy group thats a mock band and then wind up touring around the world and playing some of the greatest Venues in the world.
Been depressed today. This really helps. If you can't smile at Spinal Tap, I I don't know what else on earth can help. Zappa and Alice Cooper. Let's start there.
This guy's are real and great musicians, as well as really good actors and comedians. Chuck from Better Caul Saul is the lead singer and guitarrist. Extraordinary talented men.
"gotta buy groceries before you can cook".... My first reaction is this is a metaphor, but then again, knowing them, they could very well just be serious about it haha
Starting off with a double neck bass in open E on C.O.D....rotflmao!!!! Like the fact that the guitars were playing harmonics with each other instead of chugging along, and the harmony vocals were awesome!!
Honestly, the studio cut of "Cash on Delivery" is probably one of the better mainstream metal tunes recorded in 1992. They found ways to make their stuff awful, but they also got sneaky (unintentionally?) good. Maybe, it's a thin line between dreadful and decent.
Also Ed Begley Jr. who played a lawyer of a competing law firm on Better Call Saul was a drummer in an earlier version of Spinal Tap. Unfortunately his character blew up. Here is a u tube clip of both actors together... th-cam.com/video/I-BYzaDwNoE/w-d-xo.html
I've seen hundreds of concerts and I tell people I've even seen Spinal Tap and they're fictional. They're living proof they can exist beyond the film. If anyone has a chance to see them, I strongly encourage you to bust your ass to get tickets because it's a show you'll never forget!
First I thought it was just like part of the show like pyrogenics or something , but the DRUMMER ACTUALLY BLEW UP , dude there was like blood n gutz everywhere ! What an awesome freaking show !!!!
Half the tour, according to Ric Parnell. He didn't even get a thank you from Spinal Tap, and got paid the same as the bus driver. That's gratitude for you.
I was there. Still got my ticket and an un-torn one that I got for my mate then he couldn't make it. Spent about 10 minutes trying to flog it outside and gave up.
when i saw them live in SF i remember Derek hovering over the stage as they were flown in. i *don't* remember Nigel being similarly flown... but yeah... as you can imagine... i was under heavy sedation at the time! also... note to roadie... nice job with the box for Derek... who sang quite well while floating horizontally btw... but... jeez dude... how about raising his mike? i mean... you know how to do that don't ya?
Truly, one of the greatest metal bands. If not for bad fortune--ill-management, bad luck with buses and drummers, political oppression, misunderstanding, and a complete lack of musicianship, tune-carrying, charm, or sense of humor--the rest of metal history in the 70s might be a footnote. Hawkwind should have _opened_ for Spinal Tap. Alas.
I believe you are referring to the accidental death of professional wrestler Owen Hart when the harness he was lowered in from the rafters malfunctioned and killed him when he slammed into the ring. His family got a big settlement from Vince McMahon and the stunt of being lowered into the ring was banned. When Owen Hart died I think was in 1999, and this concert of Spinal Tap was in London in 1992.
The double-necked rig that is two identical basses always kills me.
Ive wanted to build one for years!
One of the most influential groups of their day. That they're not yet in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is an affront to all music.
Seriously. They paved the way for all the greats. 80's rock can thank Spinal Tap for defining an era
@@JagerFrostTroll Them and the Rutles. Two of the greatest contributors to music culture. It's hard to overstate both groups' significance.
hahaha - even as mocking metal they are better than all of it
Without Tap there would barely even BE Rock History! They are that good.
Bad news the Boston gig's been cancelled. It's not a big college town anyway.
For a mock group, they are better than a lot of others bands !
Chuck McGill's crazy 80s years. Who knew he'd go on to become such an established attorney with the prestigious firm, Hamlin Hamlin & McGill.
Do you think this contributed to his hyper sensitivity to electricity?
I was there. Balcony seat on the left side of stage. It was actually one of the best gigs I've ever been to.
I love that they have more spare picks on their mike stands than all bands in rock history combined.
Derek Smalls has the most picks on his mic and he doesn’t even use picks.

Me, too! This movie is among my top five favorite rock mockumentaries of 1984. Well, top eight anyway. Top 15, definitely.
And Michael McKean is Chuck in the show Better Call Saul
Heck, Bart & Millhouse went to a Spinal Tap concert in season 3
Apparently Tap once opened for Iron Butterfly. And the circle is complete. If it's true.
@@Punttipate62and before this, was Lenny in Laverne and Shirley
Must be amazing to start a Comedy group thats a mock band and then wind up touring around the world and playing some of the greatest Venues in the world.
The vocals sound so fucking good, very heavy, all the band is great
How can anyone not love this band! :D
Get the hell outta here
A few years ago I got to see Guest, McKean and Shearer on their "Unwigged and Unplugged" Tour. They were so good! Love these guys.
I've been rendered speechless...the longest running joke in movie or rock history...
Better than many "Real" bands!
I'm so glad that the drummer survived that gig this time ;-)
Been depressed today. This really helps. If you can't smile at Spinal Tap, I I don't know what else on earth can help.
Zappa and Alice Cooper.
Let's start there.
Gawd, I forgot how much this song rocked!!!
Principal Skinner fucking ROCKS the bass!
Sad when a mock band is better than most real ones.
"Most"? Phew.
GhostOfRhurValley. The Monkees and then SpinalTap⚡ and now ................justin beiber.😠
They're not, but okay.
@@andrewjenkinson8948 They are but go back to sleep.
@@Hellwyck I guess this makes sense if you're a poser
Oh god that BASS😫
It's a reptile lol
I should've waited until the second one, cheezuz
i just love how the mic stand is covered with picks :D
This guy's are real and great musicians, as well as really good actors and comedians. Chuck from Better Caul Saul is the lead singer and guitarrist. Extraordinary talented men.
For a band that is intended as a spoof, these guys are pretty legit. Ironic
I love the double arm basse used in a single string
"You have to know how to do it right, before you can do it WRONG!" I love the best of 80s metal, but this is a SCREAM!
The best rock band EVER!! bar none long live the tap.
Big Bottoms!
When parodies are better gifted than their targets means they are in the wrong business --- both
Spinal Tap is awesome, but to say they are better than Iron Maiden is preposterous
@@michaelmoore1697 They are, however, better than Motley Crue
Love that Musicman guitar. Love this band. Always makes me smile. Good music too!!!
I can't get this riff out of my head!!! Please don't make it stop!!!
"gotta buy groceries before you can cook".... My first reaction is this is a metaphor, but then again, knowing them, they could very well just be serious about it haha
the DVD is called the return of Spinal Tap ... Live at the royal Albert Hall
What humorless swine, bereft of culture, wouldn't like Spinal Tap? Clearly the all-time greatest band in history. No doubt about it. ;)
Word
Boris Johnson?
The best part is that they’re intentionally bad...that says a lot about their talent
And loud.
spinal tarp is even better, saw them at the local air force base one time
Starting off with a double neck bass in open E on C.O.D....rotflmao!!!! Like the fact that the guitars were playing harmonics with each other instead of chugging along, and the harmony vocals were awesome!!
Lets face is. without Spinal Tap there would be actually no music in the world.
You rocked me, alright!
still amazing today even after so many years. All the rock stereotypes are more truer now than ever
It's pure genius, if a genuine mistake is made at any point, it's just part of the act and roll with it.
I am so jealous. I have loved Spinal tap for as long as they have been around!!
best show i have ever seen!! saw them live and it was amazing!
The ultimate triple headliner of; Spinal Tap, Strange Fruit, and Bad News. They could call it, The 'Does Comedy Belong In Music' tour.
Don't know Strange Fruit, but I'd add Tenacious D to that bill.
Priceless.
These are the finest British guitar god impersonators I have ever heard.
Honestly, the studio cut of "Cash on Delivery" is probably one of the better mainstream metal tunes recorded in 1992. They found ways to make their stuff awful, but they also got sneaky (unintentionally?) good. Maybe, it's a thin line between dreadful and decent.
It's such a fine line between clever and stupid.
@@djay6651 Thankfully Tap crosses that line both ways with impunity.
All their music hurts a little
Dreadful and decent is most hair metal from the 80's.
Mr. Burns rocking the bass guitar and vocals!😅
The Greatest Band of All Time!
Fake, the drummer didn't die.
+Cyrus Shokoohideh *whoosh*
+Cyrus Shokoohideh Actually, he died twice.
Cyrus' guitar and lift. That's actually their 109 drummer. The rest exploded or drowned or disapeared under mysterious circumstances.😨
He got better.
He has to stay alive for if David Lee Roth tours.
Ric Shrimpton. Identical twin brother of the late Mick Shrimpton. He played the gig with his leg in a cast.
Gotta love the Tap😁😁😁😁
Just noticed...the lead vocalist is Saul's brother in Better Call Saul. I knew the bassplayer is Mr. Burns in the Simpsons.
The lead guitarist is the director of the movies they star in as well.
I'm still not used to the fact that he's Lenny from Laverne and Shirley, lol.
Also Ed Begley Jr. who played a lawyer of a competing law firm on Better Call Saul was a drummer in an earlier version of Spinal Tap. Unfortunately his character blew up.
Here is a u tube clip of both actors together...

@@ndogg20 Begley also played a doctor in the TV show 'St. Elsewhere'.
nigels spiderman tights!wicked good
currently in the... "here they are NOW category "
This is AWESOME. They even got the vocal harmonies in C.O.D. just perfect (overdubs? Who cares)!!
Did you notice what a natural he became on Karaoke Night?
Is it wrong to have a crush on Nigel Tufnell in that lycra bodysuit?!
Man this concert did rock for the first 2 hours. Then the next 2 hours the concert rock some more( so my husband said at the time).
at my wedding, i'm gonna serenade my wife with this.
Nigel's fingers go up to 11!
He hides it really well - if he didn't, Inigo Montoya might go after him again.
And he borrowed one of Eddie Van Halen's guitars.
@@thexalon He found him anyway!
I wish my entrances were that epic
I've seen hundreds of concerts and I tell people I've even seen Spinal Tap and they're fictional. They're living proof they can exist beyond the film. If anyone has a chance to see them, I strongly encourage you to bust your ass to get tickets because it's a show you'll never forget!
Open E on a double necked bass. LOL
Yeah...that's not excessive at all
double-necker with identical necks)))
how can you tell? I figure he only knows how to play his fingers in one key, so tunes another neck for a different key.
@@dreamingforward Spinal tap changes with the times, the second neck is all LOW B's.
Thank you.
Love the intro haha XD Spinal Tap rules!
RIP "Stumpy Joe".
Truly glorious!
Both Spinal Tap and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band belong in the RnR HOF for their comedic contributions to music.
First I thought it was just like part of the show like pyrogenics or something , but the DRUMMER ACTUALLY BLEW UP , dude there was like blood n gutz everywhere ! What an awesome freaking show !!!!
Damn straight Toma.Nice guitars for a mock band!Yeesh!
I had no idea Saul Goodman's brother was David St Hubbins. What a character Michael Mckean is.
1216 One after Magna Carta.
When a mock band is better than today's music
i think the fact i unironically like this band even though i havent seen the movies or whatever shows how bad my taste in music can get
Half the tour, according to Ric Parnell. He didn't even get a thank you from Spinal Tap, and got paid the same as the bus driver. That's gratitude for you.
Double necked bass guitar... nice!
This is good stuff.
I wanna have a Spinal Tap movie night
Tonight I'm gonna have a Spinal Tap movie night tonight
@@nuthineatholl6434 lol
Wish I'd seen them live. I'm certainly old enough but I was always working.
< < Our silly rock band is inspired by THE TAP!
< \m/ Long live SPINAL TAP! \m/
@RockHailand There was no problem, it was all part of the show. Thats Spinal Tap!!!
Kiss' entire back catalogue can be summed up by the song Tonight I'm going to rock you tonight by Spinal Tapp. Which is better.
The blonde singer is kind Of Greg Allman the guitarist starts as Ace Frehley then turns into Jeff beck the bass is geezer butler🤣
Many not know that David St. Hubbins (lead singer) went on to have a successful law career, before dying tragically in a house fire.
Nigel Tufnel began a career in indie film making, specializing on "mocumentaries".
They are a musical version of Blue Jam
And Chris Morris sketches.
Brilliant.
Btw, where is that street at the end??
Squatney
Best parody band evar.
That's no ordinary drummer - lays down rather phat beat.
Trop la classe Spinal Tap !!
this song is pretty awesome
'Lets keep it strictly COD'
Brill ^^
Spinal Tap RULES!!!! FOR SURE!
I was there. Still got my ticket and an un-torn one that I got for my mate then he couldn't make it. Spent about 10 minutes trying to flog it outside and gave up.
This sounds like infinity to me :D
double neck bass both necks are 4 strings. long live spinal tap
I like the double bass and the triple keyboard
They look a lot like the band UFO with Lemmy on bass,David St. Hubbinds kind of resembles Micheal Schenker
when i saw them live in SF i remember Derek hovering over the stage as they were flown in.
i *don't* remember Nigel being similarly flown... but yeah... as you can imagine... i was under heavy sedation at the time!
also... note to roadie... nice job with the box for Derek... who sang quite well while floating horizontally btw... but... jeez dude... how about raising his mike? i mean... you know how to do that don't ya?

turntableable. Sad but true.😐
Def better than Vince Neil.
@csmiller1988 It's called 'Cash on Delivery', off of 'Break Like The Wind'.
''Little girl it's a great big world but theres still only one of......MMMEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!''
fockin spinal tap
fictional????they look so damn real,good music too

@@davidpage3893 That's the biggest one but hardly the only one. Lots of injuries with wires like that.
@csmiller1988 Found my answer. The 2nd song is "Cash on Delivery"
