    Back when the movie came out every band was denying it was based on them. Now every band of that era claims it was directly based on them.

      Black Sabbath was definitely one of the bands that were imitated. Geezer Butler gave a recent interview with Eddie Trunk where he described a Stone Hedge stage prop that was built for a tour but the manufacturer/artist thought they wanted it in meters when they had meant feet. So they had a Stone Hedge set that was so big it wouldn't fit in any of the venues and they ultimately left it sitting on a freighter. I think it's even funnier now.

      It’s interesting. Born Again was released in august 83, just about the same time Spinal Tap was filmed. It must have been just about the same week where Geezer Butler demanded Stone Henge as a stage prop - “In natural size” - to when Spinal Tap was filming their Stone Henge in feet or inches confusion!
      Btw, Sabbath’s Stone Henge ended being in two third of natural size - and still useless in 98% of the concerts.

      Sharon paid her father off for the remainder of Ozzy's contract so she had what amounted to at the time a sizable investment. I'd say she made her money back.

      Think how differently a lot of great musicians' careers might have turned out if Ozzy and Ronnie James Dio ever had the balls to stand up to their gawdawful wives. What a couple of gutless simps they turned out to be.

      It's a weird profession. I understand that they do a lot of promoting, sometimes guys like Trunk really do help unknown bands get recognition - and that's important. But it's kind of strange to me when people (Trunk in particular) try to be famous stars and demand respect just for basically hanging out with people who actually create and do all the hard work.
      It's sort of like he's just the world's ugliest groupie. :D

    Anybody that walked out on Spinal Tap needed to get a sense of humor, and probably, some of the scenes hit a little too close to home.

      When you see Michael McKean in interviews now he REALLY comes off as being even more arrogant and stuck-up than the character he played in Spinal Tap. It's downright bizarre. If that's just an act he's putting on, he's a better actor than I ever realized.
      Dude. You're Lenny from Laverne and Shirley, not the greatest actor who ever lived or some shit. GTF over yourself LOL.
