„Some guitarists have style and technique. I got volume“ (Nigel Tufnel) 😁
I've followed the Tap since the time I was just a sprog in Chiswick, and I have appreciated their intellect and philosophy as much as their music. They are the thinking person's heavy metal band.
Plus they have feelings. Remember graveside at Elvis' grave? "Well, this is depressing.."
@@robstimson4234 and They have a notable sense of humor...
Remember, Nigel says, maybe they should have done it in bobly
And in this, again, Nigel says, no no it's too late for you....
True poets those three. Fire, ice and luke-warm water.
Before Spinal Tap, no other heavy metal band thought an amp could go to 11. That's because no other heavy metal bands were thinking. They're not just the thinking person's heavy metal band. They're the thinking heavy metal band.
"It's a thin line between clever and stupid". Nigel Tuffnell
If you're been in bands, you lived every bit of that movie, irl
David St. Hubbins said "it's a thin line between clever and..." Derek Smalls said "stupid". Not a Nige quote.
🧿❤💙🚗🚙❣🦋🧿
‘Fine’ line. Not ‘Thin’. Apologies for my pedantry but the details matter when it comes to Tap 😂
'a mans relationship with the devil is his own private affair' brilliant.
"Satan....sure it's great stuff"
Now that's the Xmas message that we can all relate to.
"An evening's fun". LOL!
I'm 59 and still the funniest movie of my Lifetime !
I hope you also heard the DVD commentary in which they do a raw comment over the entire movie in character. It's like watching the movie's sequel.
These guys are pure gold
Go to any Oasis interview after watching this.
😂
Legend has it that Liam watched the whole of Spinal Tap without realising it was a spoof.
@@kurakura281apparently there were others back in the 80’s who thought it was a real “Rocumentary” and some one said they should have featured a well known band!
LMFAO
For those who don't know: that's not a laugh track, that's the Saturday Night Live audience reacting to what they're watching. SNL has always left in the audience laughter when they show pre-taped pieces (except for a few episodes in the first season, when they were finding their footing). It sure would feel funnier without the laughter, but I can't blame the audience for reacting the way anyone would when watching this.
Side note, I've seen every episode of Spin City and yet it completely slipped past me that that's Barry Bostwick interviewing them! He played the Mayor!
I'm not sure about this example, but I know that nowadays NBC does add more laughter in post. Recently I had to check something between the DVR and when it went up on Hulu and there were more laughs added on the Hulu version.
That said, yes, SNL has always left in the live studio reactions to video shorts like this.
@@alextirrellRI They tape two times a night if I remember, could be that as well.
I thought that was Peter Weller
too handsome for Peter Weller@@vanhiyakumoto5857
Ohhhhh, Braddddd!
Oh, dammit! 😁
"MOZART! MOZART! DON'T PLAY LOUD!"
That's my favorite line of all time!!!
As he cranks it up to 11
Anytime im feeling down, I put on "This Is Spinal Tap" ... Cheers me right up ! Funniest movie EVER !
It's great. Have you seen Withnail and I, though? It's also a classic!
"14 yo white boys"
spot on
I thought they said 40 yr old.
And 14 year old white girls as well - at least if you happened to live in Finland in the mid 80s like me! I was one of them =D
Michael McKean looks like a mermaid with the wig and his aqua teal outfit 🧜♀️
That can only be a compliment.
@@ourcorrectopinions6824 it is a compliment!
To this day I my brain just keeps screaming...It's Lenny Kosnowski!
It’s “ Mer-mam”!
"...and they go 'yeah'..." Hilarious :D
"A scientific study........of the bun."--Nigel Tufnel
I was lucky enough to see Spinal Tap live on the Break Like The Wind tour, and they were, in fact, the loudest band I ever saw live.
What, they actually did live performances in concerts? Or was that like a comedy show?
@@danielciocilteu3545 it was a real tour in 1992!
And this is entirely improvised. The guy just asks questions and they run with whatever.
To have the confidence to be able to do this is commendable.
I have been waiting for this clip most of my life.
I'm a Geordie and I was convinced they were English!
I don't know how many times Spinal Tap broke up, but there was a period of the 1970s when Nigel played guitar for Lenny and the Squigtones. Even played on Dick Clark with them.
Too right. My relationship with the Devil is no one's damn business.
These dudes are the bestest. I love Spinal Tap.
I remember when Täp was to perform their song, “Sausage Sally” on the John Denver show in ‘75. I waited outside the studio for their autographs for three days before realizing they’d been cancelled from the show entirely.
"Why do you play so loud?
"What?"
How'd they miss that one?
What?
might be a takeoff on the famous 1967 Pink Floyd Performance/Interview with Hans Keller on the BBC's 'Look of the Week' program where the first question Hans asks Roger and Syd "Why does it all have to be so terribly loud?"
laughter totally kills it. whole point is what they're saying isn't acknowledged funny.
@@michaelprovost6066 Wow, have no memory of ever watching this, let alone commenting. However, having just had a little reminder I have to say I still agree with myself Michael. Putting the live laughter over the recorded piece kills the actual humour.
I think you'll find that these short films were shown to a live audience during the actual broadcast of Saturday Night Live. This is genuine and spontaneous laughter.
@@CousinCreepy still kinda ruins the clip tho
It’s still kinda from an old episode of snl
Laughter is involuntary, and the people laughing are sitting in the audience of Studio 8H during a live taping of SNL.
"How could Ieave this behind..."
Christopher Guest totally made this!!!
Guest seems like the one who could riff the most and longest to throw the others off.
"Hello Laverne"
This must've been such inspiration for Fred Armisen, and subsequently Documentary Now with Bill Hader
Seen the movie for the first time when I was like 8 - fell in love with Nigel, can’t watch anything where he isn’t Nigel - best band ever!
I always heard about them in the 80"s but never saw them. I would have loved them. I must admit their feigned Bri-ish accents seemed spot-on. The faux-blonde guy is a babe!
He plays CHUCK on BETTER CALL SAUL
And he was Lenny on Laverne and Shirley.
Still crazy after all these years!
I heard they officially changed their name to Lumbar Puncture.
They wanted to follow the fad of spelling their name wrongly ( like Led Zeppelin ) but they accidentally spelt it right !
Chuck McGill wasn't always a stuck up attorney, apparently.
I didn't recognize him without his Lone wolf jacket
Spinal Tap interviews are classic
Audience laughter, whether warranted, always sounds weird when it’s in response to a Tap interview.
it's chuck!
Can't wait for the sequel!
so Mozart’s mother would call him “Mozart.”
…and not Wolfgang.
I think this is all ad-libbed. Genius!
Wow, he sneezed a cigarette, that's impressive
Long live Spinal Tap
No drummer here because they kept dying.
LOL
I like that Mozart's mother would call him by his last name.
I would never recognize Chuck McGill if I didn’t know he was in the band.
Yes in a past life he was David St.Hubbins! Lead Singer and Rhythm Guitarist Of The Legendary Spinal Tap!
“There’s a fine line between clever and stupid”!
And wasn’t he brilliant in that as well?
A scientific study... of the bun.
Brad!
The greatest rock band that never existed
If i remember right..Spinal Tap was a spoof on GlamBands, but they were good, so it took off... then they were fighting for civil rights with Tipper Gore... pretty cool legacy...=]
I'm betting that they took the whole movie from real bands. P*ssed Metallica off, I hear. Their Some Kind of Monster was hilarious, tho I don't think they meant it to be.
Goes back even farther. There's reference material from Led Zeppelin and Jeff Beck to The New Wave of British Heavy Metal ie. Scorpions, Saxon and Iron Maiden.
@@erictrenbeath9680 Hell Yes!!! as it should, right?
@@TTownTim Absolutely!
Omfg its been years since i saw the movie but ive NEVER seen this and I love it.
This would be much better without canned laughs! I love Paps!
The laughter is not canned. It's there because it's SNL so basically the clip is played to a live audience and we can hear their reaction.
If only the canned laughter was in Dubly
Trilateral Commission…
Brilliant!
1:30 "Mozart played keyboards..."
Um
.
.
.
.
This episode of SNL goes to 11
Whoever edited in the laugh track, which bears no relation to anything being said or done (and also whoever made them do it) should be ashamed, and I expect an apology
Brilliant.
This is all improvised.
Of course he plays loud, all his amps got to 11.
In the history of film and television, these are the best 'English' accents, without exception. It's not science fiction, it's science fact.
I'm pretty impressed with name dropping the Trilateral Commission, and then another guy comes in with "The Illuminati" right on queue. It's easy to look that stuff up now, but not so much in 1984.
Some great points made. @3:40 I don't think any actual buns were hurt in the recording of that single. You have to seperate music from limbs or feelings which the music might represent. If we don't, then where are we? Good luck to you, they'd say.
This type of great British humour is similar to Penelope Cunk.
Chuck McGill before he got into law. What a journey.
Satanism: "It's an evening's fun."
they dont get enough love or credit
Great est band eva!
They learned British from Rosetta Stone.
Remember the singer from Lavern and Shirly...
Wish they would have talked about their most beautiful song, “Lick My Love Pump.”
Sux the performance are not posted.
Brilliant comedy and wit.. however, the laugh track really sullies this.
They go to 11.
TRES Cool/tap/tap/tap!
Tried to like. So fun.
The laugh track is fucking horrendous, the point of spinal tap is how naive they are too how ridiculous they are.
Its not a laugh track, its a live audience.
... how naive they are to* how ridiculous they are.
TOO LATE FOR YOU! 😂😂
is he the Mayor in Spin City?
Is that canned laughter?
Uber rock super Tap!!
I stayed up and/or stayed home to videotape this and now - seeing it again for the first time in probably 30 years - can't shake how annoying the audience laughter is.
Barry Bostwick?
Yes, a *young & handsome* Barry Bostwick!!😁❤😍
Derek has a zucchini
Harry should not have been wearing a "Harley" T shirt...even tho Mr Harley and Mr Davidson were both British lads. Eee shuld ave ad a Tri-umf or Nor-un T-shirt on. Not that yank rubbish. If Lenny was there, why didnt Squiggy join the group? I still have my This is Spinal Tap badge from 1984.
How can they keep straight faces?
I think you have to be Gen X to really understand it
Shit Sandwich!
Please, can we delete the canned laughter?
🤣🤣🤣
Chuck from Better Call Saul??? Unbelievable!!!!
No, David St. Hubbins from Spinal Tap.
F Chuck!!
Was this a real band ?
No, but they did perform live a lot so yes
Sell outs....you see what they were doing in the sixties: psychedelia, sitars, etc. '80's come along, they jump on the bandwagon of metal...f' em.....
The laugh track in the background is really annoying.
The laughter track shows how little SNL knows about comedy.
not a laugh track
@@pada443 They're not laughing where anything is funny, tho.
I have read a few comments about it being the audience. But it makes no sense! Maybe the audience was stoned. I saw The Big Chill stoned outta my mind in high school. My friend and I cracked up during the funeral.
@@gardenlover9663 Live performances can be funny for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes the actors are being funny off camera, other times they would br laughing at other audience members or laughing about something that the scene reminds them of.
Seriously it seems like a lot of youtube comedy critics have never been to a comedy show.
Best British accents by Americans ever.
No such thing as a British accent
Listen to that awful laughter.
it's a live studio audience.
@@Hellwyck you're my hero for finding these people as annoying as I do.
I hate canned laughter as much as a normal person, but its insane the amount of people who are on youtube watching SNL clips who don't seem to understand what SNL is or how live comedy works.
At least nobody is using cue cards so they're aren't 500 comments complaining about the actors looking towards camera.
I would love a new spinal tap movie with Taran Killam, Bill hader and Harry styles
1. You can not have a new Spinal Tap - the original is the band.
2. Harry Styles and music do not go together, he's a boyband shill.
Bill Hader* and Harry Styles*
oh look, an actually funny bit on SNL... far cry from today's skits
This is the reason why Spinal Tap became such a cult movie, this is brilliant comedy. How can they not crack each other up.
Michael McKean looks like he's going to laugh a few times
Agreed, but also have to include the camera operator who knows just when to zoom in on Derek Smalls when he is picking his nose.
Wtf is that sneeze lmao
Tell me about it. They crack me.up continually 🤣😆🤣😆😂😂😂😂
I think they are trying to crack each other up.
Michael McKean's blank "dumb" facial expressions are killing me. Then he spits some knowledge that's Satanically brilliant.
😫😂
