I am actually in this video. I'm at the very end in the London subway scene. I'm wearing a blue plaid flannel shirt, shorts and I have a long pony tail. It was a lot of fun working on this shoot that day.
My old band and I were playing New Year's Eve in Panorama, British Columbia, and were just about to head down to the show. Someone found this on the TV, which changed everything. We all locked ourselves into one hotel room to watch it - with the promoter banging on the door. We opened it once to threaten him and to have hime go get more beer ( which he did ), then he joined us. We were 45 mins late but it was worth it!
Love this band but most of their stuff after 1978 is either overproduced and underappreciated, or it's underproduced and overappreciated. Sometimes it's underproduced and overrated. Other times their work is underrated and overproduced. Sometimes it's overproduced and underproduced. Sometimes it's overrated and underappreciated. Many times it's been underappreciated, overproduced and overrated. Still other times it's been overappreciated, underproduced and underrated.
That is the main fall of Spinal Tap. They are accomplised musicians but their lyrics are so childish. And they kicked onto the Psychadelic fad in 67, at its peak.
They are good musicians. Their failure came from their immature lyrics and how they always jumped on a music bandwagon just as the fad was winding down.
some of you have forgot that it s just entertainment !! its not a real band :) they are comedians before being musicians . the success of the 1st " spinal tap " made them tour , make album etc.. but they are COMEDIANS ! you know . debate about the lyrics is so funny :)
