This Is Spinal Tap: Cast Breaks Down Fan-Favorite Scenes (Flashback) 

That was damn funny

@@rationalmuscle because it's true.....

But I couldn't take Nigel seriously, especially when he was serious.

@@robertconahan187 🧐 Looks like you didn't get the same memo as the rest of us.

@@robertconahan187umm….ya think?

The 1st time i watched this I ate some shrooms and I was laughing so hard I was crying pretty much from start to finish. Nigels's solo is the stuff of legends

watching him tune the violin is one of the low key funniest parts of the movie!

funniest member of the group by far love nigels energy anytime i wanna poke fun i try and grab that same energy

I hope it wasn't hard to clean up.

@@random__joe my 1st shroom movie was Apocalypse Now! 60' screen, ...This is the End, my only friend.

Well, you can't dust for vomit. Technically about a different part but it seemed prudent all the same. The bizarre gardening accident of their first drummer was best left unsolved but their second drummer choked of vomit of undetermined origin.

I dont think its funny you making fun of the tragic death of their drummer .

​@@derricklarsen2919 Plenty more where he came from

@@joeb2487 your the guy who was making fun of my mule you better apologize 😡

GREAT suggestion! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I am genuinely surprised they are sitting there so calmly with that backstabber, Marty DeBirgi, after he did them so wrong.

I saw this for the first time in the early 80s My oldest brother sat down and got up within 20 minutes and said, this is stupid. I showed it to my middle brother and he got 100%. Actually caught “Not a big college town” the first time. Saw them live on the Break Like The Wind tour at Universal Amphitheater. Had the best time. 😊

The first four or five times I watched this film was on vhs and dvd. Then I got a chance to see it at a screening on the big screen. I noticed a number of things that were not so apparent on video. The sequel is in production as of March 2024, I can’t wait to see what the guys have come up with. Though I would not be surprised if there is a bit of sadness at the end.

Yeah it's definitely a movie that benefits from multiple viewings.

​@@mplsmark222 I just hope Rob Reiner doesn't turn it into a political thing. Since the 80s he's become unbearable.

@@mplsmark222 Christopher Guest's films tend to have bittersweet endings, it's true. The sequel apparently will have cameos by Elton John, Garth Brooks and Dirk McQuickly.

Stone'enge 🙂

I think that the problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

@@slackthompson9231 No-one knows who they were, or what they were doing.

Squeaky!

A lot of chicanery in show business

And is a great satellite technician in Used Cars

​@@goratgo1970 he even built and installed a pacemaker in another man's chest...!

My favorite line... OMG ... Now that I look back , that's one of my favorite movies .

It was the first successful one. All that came after are trying to ride it's coat tails.

The Rutles: "All You Need is Cash" comes close. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sEwySvgfwLE.html

@@napoearth Is it the first one ever? Or just the first successful one?

@PaulTheSkeptic probably both. it's the first I'd ever heard of. I'm 56, maybe there were some before. I don't know.

@@napoearth Hm. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of something but hell, I don't know.

Fact: The BBC's online streaming service iPlayer has always had a volume control that goes to 11. That's one louder.

On IMDb it's the only movie that is rated out of 11

Marshal made amps that go to 11 because of this. Limited runs.

Indeed. It's a specific Estuary accent, not generic "stage-school" English.

@@jimdaw65 Yep, in fact that is my exact accent! I thought they were English for years! 😁

@@pup1008 There's only one giveaway moment, when Derek Smalls, talking about Nigel and David being fire and ice, says he's half-way between the two, warm "wat-her", not wawter or wa'ah.

@@jimdaw65 I know what you mean. It was peculiar that they picked that exact accent up, as you say it's not even strict Cockney or general London? The only thing I can think of is that had been analysing the way *Mick Jagger* talks as he is or was bang on "Estuary" &, in fact, born only about a mile from actually being in it!

@@pup1008 Maybe Black Sabbath brummie would have been indecipherable to an American audience 🙂 I'm the founder, and so far only, member of the Dick Van Dyke Defence League. He was paid to do a U.S.-friendly version of cockney. If he'd done authentic cockney he'd have been thrown off the set due to the cost of subtitles for American viewers in the 1960s..

It's always better to watch it with your friends, or band mates especially

U Rokk!

I cannot look at Deep Purple's album covers from the '70's w/o thinking, "That's so Spinal Tap..." (I don't think that's a compliment....)

Rob Halford mentions it at least half a dozen times in his autobiography, he loves it

The real irony is that metalheads in the 80s (and I was one) unironically enjoyed a soundtrack which parodied the genre we lived for.

I’m laughing so hard at this 😂

Lol. I'm a musician and I never noticed that. That's funny. It's just a big old showy backache. Doublenecks are heavy. They might be good for a song or two but you wouldn't want to do a whole show with one. Or a whole tour.

Ahead of his time. Good musical instrument redundancy. Covers him perfectly if he breaks a string or one of them goes out of tune. 😃

@@karmicselling4252 Doublenecks sure are heavy. Most touring musician prefer to have a backup. Plus, bass strings break very rarely. Like, VERY rarely.

Lmfao 🤣

Yea authorities love having unsolved cases in their books 😂 especially when it's an extremely bizarre incident

This should be the top comment! 😂

He will do that once he has finished editing the 96 hours of film that ended up on the cutting room floor after making "Let's Be The Rutles Naturally".

First he's got to edit the footage for that puppet show they opened up for

I always wondered if they got that from bassman Duck Dunn from the Blues Brothers movie, which came a few years before

He asked Jeff Beck for "permission" to use his mannerisms as inspiration for Nigel Tufnel.

​@@Nghilifaand why not some of the stones😂

Because he wanted to emulate Jeff Beck.

I always thought Beck was legitimately a moron because of Guest's portrayal lol.

In the interview, he reminds me of Paul Simon.

Sequel? Are you serious?

@@ogelsmogel Yes, I believe it was actually supposed to be done last year but the writer's strike got in the way. Plenty of ripe material for a bunch of over-the-hill rock stars!

@@rockturtleneck Wow. I didn't know. I hope they got something good planned out..

check out the work print version, it's longer than the original movie, and with a lot of never before seen parts

Yup, perfection 🤌

Sadly, Fred Willard won't have a part.

The Princess Bride is great too.

@@Woozlewuzzleable I love best in Show and A Mighty Wind too.

@@DavidOakesMusic Those are Christopher Guest led movies. Reiner isn't in them

Stand by Me and Misery are also excellent.

@@brianmiller1077 Oh yeah, great modern classics. I didn't know he did Misery.

I hope it's in Dubly

Seriously.

the free form jazz period gets overlooked, unfairly to me...Kiss did the Elder, Def Leppard did their grunge album in the '90's, and U2 did their techno album, but that period of Tap is always dogged; people just want their bands to do the same type of music over and over. Had I been older, I would've been at the front row of that event...(I would not have sat through that stupid puppet show, though!)

"Saucy Jack" is a whole other story, though....

You're a naughty one ... Saucy Jack. Such a haughty one ... Saucy Jack. They just don't make 'em like that anymore. 🤧 good days, good days.

Let me guess; you don’t like his politics. Get over it dude. Mel Gibson is a right wing lunatic but I am not shy about loving his work as a director and actor. Music and movies are way more fun when you leave the politics at the door.

And The Rutles

@@marknewbold2583 Here I am in the Ratskeller. Literally, a cellar full of rats.

... after The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash.

This and Airplane! are perfect comedies

I am not performing freeform jazz before a festival audience! (Next scene) The bass player wrote this one!
