He sure has the Beck haircut. Funny you mention him. I just walked in the door from Avenue Guitars and they have one of his old Black Les Paul's there. Man. 21 grand. It's signed with a number. They told me to take her for a rip but I said no. Just like this I almost felt guilty looking at it.
the genius of this is how Nigel keeps cutting him off because the guitars are so important to him he's not listening, he's explaining, a great piece of acting.
What might be a fun fact about the scene with Nigel and the guitars, for those who are a fan of the movie. The guitars in the scene were loaned by Norm's Rare Guitars for the movie. In actual fact the flying V which you can see in the background is Norm's own Amos Arthur Flying V - an extremely precious piece which he sold not long ago to Joe Bonamassa after owning it for 40 years. Its got a strong heritage and a lot of photographic history. Just linking some cool info I've picked up from other videos I've watched related to this.
Reiner as straight man in this bit is sooooooo good. Hilarious scene. I was at work last year and Reiner came in the place and I nearly fanboyed him - tell him how much I appreciated him as a filmmaker, but he had family with him so I left him alone.
"i wasn't going to touch it, i was just pointing at it." "well don't point even." "can i look at it?" "no." haaa!!! i know everybody loves the "these go to 11" bit but that's my favorite part of the whole exchange!
Yep, and it was posted in 2009, 2+9=11 and on June 20, which happens to be the 171st day, 171, starting and ending with 1 and being 11 days before the first half of the year
The Heavy Metal groups hated ST at first because they took it seriously , later on most realized it was all in good fun. The Horsepower Guitar from Peavey is one of a kind also. Only 25 were made
It kills me everytime, this movie's the best! Oh btw the untouchable guitar really do exists, it's an old Tom Anderson, no doubt it would have sounded amazingle...well if played :D
That is so true,especially hard or heavy metal guitarists. I know guys who dont know the difference between major and minor chords ,but , they have a dozen guitars!
+mxsxkxcrc Ricky Gervais owes a lot to many mangers around the world, some of whom I've worked with! He didn't need to know Chris Guest, he just needed to work in the real world for inspiration.
I’m a big Thin Lizzy fan and on the Live and Dangerous Video Live at the Rainbow in London the scene where they leave to go on stage from the dressing room reminds me of Spina Tap .😆
This movie is so true to the point. I wish I had a dollar for every musician who told me not to touch their "sacred" instruments!! I just loved when anybody played me drums, or used my carpentry tools!! I guess it all started with Ringo in "A Hard Days Night". Remember him chewing out the sound tech for touching his sticks??!!
"this one is just uh, it's perfect, 1959, ah you know, just, listen" "how much is uh.." "just listen for a minute... the sustain, listen to it " "i'm not hearing anything" "you would thought if it were playing"
@maneatingtoilets It is a real 59. All the guitars on here are genuine. Borrowed from museums and collectors. The Fender Bass VI (don't even look at it) displayed is one of 2 ever made in that colour. Worth over a million dollars.
The coolest part about this is because of this movie, you can now purchase the gold aftermarket marshall amp plates that actually go to 11 and install them.
It's been five years since this was uploaded, and I can still hear that sustain.
...it's been 8 years since you've made this comment, do you now have any hearing at all? lol
You must have tinitus then.
Hello from 2021, the sustain is still here. And it won't leave.
Possible you had the volume turned up to 11 and have tinitus
S
"Can I look at it?"
"NO..."
"you ve seen enough of that one" :D
Goreface69 no ones allowed to look at it. IM not even allowed to look at it

Right
"don't touch it, don't touch it"
"well uh, I wasn't going to touch it"
"no one , no, dont touch it"
"i was just pointing at it"
"well don't point"
The point when Nigel was queried why 10 wasn’t the top and announced “These go to 11” was the moment the world changed.
It's why BBC online audio goes to 11.
The amps I build go to 12, with one more control knob that I label "13" 😅 True story
"Listen to it!"
"I'm not hearing anything"
"But you would, though, if it were playing"
*AaAAAAaaAaaaaAAAa*
"They called Einstein crazy."
"Nobody called Einstein crazy."
"Well, they would have if he carried on like this!"
You could go an have a bite an you'd still be hearing this one
the best thing is I've heard people legitimately describe their guitars that same way over the years.
Hahaha yeah. Showing them off like a kid showing off their new toy they got for Christmas
Sometimes, it's not even on purpose!
My friend Jake lmao
Guitar bros are the worst lmao
" I cherish them"
Don't touch it!
I'm just pointing...
Don't point!!!
Kills me everytime!
THE best quote in all of Rock "These go to Eleven!".
Possibly the greatest quote of all time. 🤘
Exactly!! 11 is the way to Rock!! \m/
It’s one louder
I really like this guy, he gets it!
To this day when I see anything with a price tag I always say "still got the ole tagger on it." LMAO!
Don't touch it!
@@roddy2body Can I point at it?
@@xXAscendingPhoenixXx Don't point even.
Can I look at it?
@@MrParkerman6 No! No. You've seen enough of that one.
No joke, I had an amp with a scale 0-20. Would've blown Nigel's mind.
Targun Yssboern but you could just make 10 the top number and just make that a little louder…
Targun Yssboern we all know that a formidable amp must go over 9000. that would make 9001 for us peasants. and 9002 for nigel.
P Hampton j80
The dirty channel on Marshall’s JCM 900 went to 20 and Nigel did the press for it.
Some fender amps were already going to 12. Stock.
"If we need that extra push, over the cliff." Brilliant.
SPINAL TAP never gets old. It's so spot on. I can't even count how many times I've seen it, but it is more than 11.
Why didn't you whatch it ten times and then made the tenth time more special?
just listen to it...
łaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
TТТТhis movie is now aaаvailable to watch here => twitter.com/5a86ebd4b0bd083b5/status/796185892780019712 This Is Spinal Tap Nigel s Guitar Rоom
I can still hear it
The sustayyyn.
Supposedly this was based on something Les Paul said
Simply one of the greatest movie scenes ever.
Jeff Beck stated he loved the movie. But Nigel reminded him so much of himself it was kind of eerie. Guest did his homework. lol
I always thought Nigel was supposed to be somewhat of a representation of Jeff Beck.
You thought right.
I think Derrick Smalls is supposed to look like Lemmy from Motorhead.
He sure has the Beck haircut. Funny you mention him. I just walked in the door from Avenue Guitars and they have one of his old Black Les Paul's there. Man. 21 grand. It's signed with a number. They told me to take her for a rip but I said no. Just like this I almost felt guilty looking at it.
+dean mccaskill Even though you didn't play it, I bet you could still hear the sustain?
"it's just... It's quite unbelievable"
LOOOOOOOOL
the genius of this is how Nigel keeps cutting him off because the guitars are so important to him he's not listening, he's explaining, a great piece of acting.

ChrisWhite85.
Cool isn't it. In another scene (cafe), Nigel is wearing a Normans rare guitars t-shirt.
The thing is, possibly every guitar you see in there or you have ever seen or might even think you owned is probably actually owned by Joe Bonamassa
Good info Chris. Never knew that about the movie and Iv'e seen it dozens of times.
Give it time and Joe will own every guitar in this scene
"Listen... Just listen for a minute." "Im not hearing anything." pure gold
The last part makes me laugh everytime
Me too! ;-)
Me three! XD
Dalmatian me four!😂
the 'sustain' gag fucking kills me lol
Me eleven
“If we need that push off the cliff” is the most underrated line in this scene
Still got the old tagger on it.
Greg Lamb don't touch it it can't be played EVER
@@rydergrimes6696 I wasn't touching it, I was just pointing to it. 👈
Who on earth could ever thumbs down this video? 33 people? This is some brilliant inimitable comedy.
I wish could hear Nigel's sustain in Dubly.
Too much fucking perspective!
I love how Nigel is always trying to do something while holding a cigarette.
I like how he handed Marty the cigarette and made him hold it.
One of the best movies ever! Spot on in the portrayals of old rockers. I know so many people that are really like these guys!
Reiner as straight man in this bit is sooooooo good. Hilarious scene. I was at work last year and Reiner came in the place and I nearly fanboyed him - tell him how much I appreciated him as a filmmaker, but he had family with him so I left him alone.
"Well, it's one louder, isn't it?" is just the stupidest , funniest joke, it will never not make me laugh no matter how many times I see this.
"These go to eleven."
The old Fender tweeds went up to TWELVE Nigel!!!!
"Ahhhhhhh! You can go and have a bite - ahhhhhh - and you'll still be hearin' that one!" 😂😂😂😂
Best bit
I started enjoying this on a whole new level once I understood that Nigel Tufnel is a parody of Jeff Beck
Possibly the greatest 2:10 in cinematic history! Pure genius!
"Push over the cliff" is so clever.
This film made me bankrupt. I've got 35 guitars I can't even look at!
If I told them once I told them a million times: Spinal Tap THEN Puppet Show.
One of my favorite movies ever. Rock on Spinal Tap!🎸
Incredible sustain. About twenty years and still going. Christopher Guest- Magic!
"i wasn't going to touch it, i was just pointing at it."
"well don't point even."
"can i look at it?"
"no."
haaa!!! i know everybody loves the "these go to 11" bit but that's my favorite part of the whole exchange!
Nigel looks exactly like Jeff Beck!
probably intentional
Is intentional. Guest confirmed it.
Reminds me a bit of thom yorke
Pedor Thom Yorke was a wee little lad when this was made.
2 minutes and 10 seconds of absolutely flawless comedy
"no, you seen enough of that one.." classic nigel.
every line spoken in this scene is classic
Seven people choked on someone else's vomit.
richiebear1969 you can’t dust for vomit
It was a crime the police said was better left unsolved
“Then I can play without all the mucketty muck “
Love Rob Riener, his reaction which is barely nothing but highly noticeable sort of a quiet, stupid, funny but it works really really well!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh - to this day, I'm STILL hearin' it! That's some great sustain!!
After watching this movie i must say i'm a little obsessed with it. I love how the duration of the video is 2:09. 2+9= 11
Yep, and it was posted in 2009, 2+9=11 and on June 20, which happens to be the 171st day, 171, starting and ending with 1 and being 11 days before the first half of the year
This became my favorite comedy film ever!
its 2:10 now
Hah! u do have a point there.
Nerd alert!!
The "These go to eleven" joke is so good that even though Meathead completely messes up his line, it's still funny!
How does he mess up?...it's all improvised.
There's a very important life lesson here... No matter what you do in life, always go one louder! Thanks, Nigel!
The Heavy Metal groups hated ST at first because they took it seriously , later on most realized it was all in good fun. The Horsepower Guitar from Peavey is one of a kind also. Only 25 were made
lol i like this. hilarious!!! Seaform Green Fender VI "It can never be played. Don't touch it, don't point, don't even look at it!!!" hahaha
I watch this movie once a year.
It’s been 13 years since this was uploaded and I can still hear the sustain😆
It kills me everytime, this movie's the best!
Oh btw the untouchable guitar really do exists, it's an old Tom Anderson, no doubt it would have sounded amazingle...well if played :D
+Fabrizio Zado Donadelli Actually, it's not a Tom Anderson, it's a Fender Bass VI
Fabrizio Zado Donadelli don't look at it don't even point at it though
It has 11K likes right now, it’s perfect, just keep it there
Who else noticed them wiping the coke off the table when he's showing off his marshall amp?
Cigarette ashes
If anyone is wondering, the "Special" guitar is a Fender Bass VI. It actually is a very rare piece, since only 2 Seafoam Green Bass VI's were made.
Yeah, the whole room is filled with a bunch of collector's items.
One of the greatest scenes in film history here.
My favourite scene from the film , it’s genius and he embodies the typical guitarist.
That is so true,especially hard or heavy metal guitarists. I know guys who dont know the difference between major and minor chords ,but , they have a dozen guitars!
The line about the sustain on the Les Paul was actually something (paraphrased) that Les Paul said about one of his own guitars!!
This clip kills me. No matter how many times I watch it.
Grateful they haven't taken this down.
This video was uploaded 12 years ago. Man that sustain was amazing. Can still hear.
12 years later and the sustain is still going.
You can really see David Brent in this character. Ricky Gervais owes a lot to Chris Guest.
+mxsxkxcrc Ricky Gervais owes a lot to many mangers around the world, some of whom I've worked with! He didn't need to know Chris Guest, he just needed to work in the real world for inspiration.
+Trish Amee WRONG WRONG WRONG SHEEPLE WRONG
Haha....just saying WRONG doesn't make it so.
+Trish Amee you said "manger" you dumb schmuck
You coward. Insulting people for typos while hiding behind a pseudonym. Credibility=zero.
“Just listen to it.” Silence. That sums up the shift experience working in a psych facility.
I like how he could’ve just held the cigarette in his mouth but hands it to the interviewer instead lmao
Well it’s 1 louder isn’t it 😂😂..I’ll never stop laughing at this movie 😂
I’m a big Thin Lizzy fan and on the Live and Dangerous Video Live at the Rainbow in London the scene where they leave to go on stage from the dressing room reminds me of Spina Tap .😆
THANK YOU NORM'S RARE GUITARS!!!!!

"I don't hear anything...."
+Fire Marshall Bill You would, though, if it were playing.
+tfair5 "Yeah"
Fire Marshall Bill you can go have a bite and you'll still be hearing that one
+ceracen it's too good.
Love the little smile after he says exactly, he's so proud they go to 11 😂
Famous for its sustain...listen to it for a minute. Awesome
the sustain...:D
It's famous for it's sustain
This seems like a scene from an office-esque British sit com
That's mockumentary (mock-documentary) for you.
This movie is part of what helped pave the way for Office style mockumentaries.
I think Nigel could work in a chapeau shop with that enthusiasm
I don't know, what're the hours?😂
That IS an impressive collection, to be sure.
"this one is just uh, it's perfect, 1959, ah you know, just, listen"
"how much is uh.."
"just listen for a minute... the sustain, listen to it "
"i'm not hearing anything"
"you would thought if it were playing"
Still ringing today 39 years later
1959. The sustain!
I'm big in Japan.
"...these go to 11..."
The hilarity in that line can't be understated.
your average guitar forum user
1.1 Million views....11 years ago.....
Perfectly balanced.....as it should be......
This video is at the top of the heap!
Best rock movie ever !!!
Thanks to Norm for loaning these to Rob Reiner.
That 59 burst in that condition today would sale for probably a million dollars
@maneatingtoilets
It is a real 59. All the guitars on here are genuine. Borrowed from museums and collectors.
The Fender Bass VI (don't even look at it) displayed is one of 2 ever made in that colour. Worth over a million dollars.
"Just listen to it. The sustain."
"... still got the ole tagger on it ..."
he hands him a cigarette and keeps talking, and the other guy is standing there holding somebody else's lit cigarette forever. haha.
best movie of all time
' This is my complete inner structure done in a t-shirt'
The coolest part about this is because of this movie, you can now purchase the gold aftermarket marshall amp plates that actually go to 11 and install them.
"No, No . . . You've Seen Enough Of That One."
Total classic film. Many lines have become the norm.
best seen of any movie ever
"Don't even look at it, it will fucking disintegrate okay..."
"aaaaaaaaaa"
You could go and have a bite and
"aaaaaaaaa"
you'll still be hearing that one
