Spinal Tap: The Band We Need Right Now, Again - Paste Magazine

“Out of the emptiness, salvation, rhythm and light and sound,” sings St. Hubbins on Spinal Tap epic “Rock and Roll Creation.” And now, 41 years after their fateful tour, their prophecy comes to light; Spinal Tap are returning to our screens, to our hearts, to our eardrums once again. Like many lesser bands before them–Oasis, Pavement, Black Sabbath–Spinal Tap are coming back together, ready to shred, to rock, to turn up the volume to 11 once more. I don’t think it is possible to understate the importance of Spinal Tap and the long shadow their career has cast on the history of rock and roll, but is it possible their future will be even more influential? When it comes to Spinal Tap, anything is possible.

Paste MagazineSpinal Tap: The Band We Need Right Now, AgainOn the eve of another historic reunion, we reflect on the undeniable rock greatness of the immortal Spinal Tap.

#Comedon starts in four minutes...

If today is Thursday this must be #Comedon day. This week's pick is the classic "This Is Spın̈al Tap," a mockumentary rockumenentary following the fictional British heavy metal band on an American tour.

If you want to join in on the #Comedon tag the party starts at 6PT/9ET.

The film is hilarious as it parodies rock excesses and stereotypes, driven by the ensemble cast improvising almost all the dialog. Musicians like Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, Metallica's Lars Ulrich, and Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzy Osbourne all recognized some of their own absurd experiences in it, but Aerosmith's Steven Tyler didn't find it funny at all. I find that pretty funny.
