Members SuperPA Posted January 8, 2006 Members Share Posted January 8, 2006 Originally posted by Narcosynthesis i guess part of it is british humour, not always as quite in your face as some of your american comedy David Definietly on the dry humor side, but the guys were all American...

Members jake not Posted January 8, 2006 Members Share Posted January 8, 2006 Well with a sig like mine of course I'm gonna post.... I remember seeing them on Saturday Night Live as the musical act back in '84. I thought they were hilarious and recognized the actors but was floored that they were actually playing for real. Everyone should be issued a copy of the 'Tap movie when they buy a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nomegusta Posted January 8, 2006 Members Share Posted January 8, 2006 Originally posted by Romanian Reaper and the best part of that scene is when Nigel says "What's wrong with being Sexy?" and the whole band starts saying "ist, sex-ist!" And the wart he's got on his lip in that scene:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bob Savage Posted January 8, 2006 Members Share Posted January 8, 2006 Spinal Tap is one of those "you had to be there" type of movies, in my opinion. If you weren't around for the craziness of the music scene in the late 70's and early 80's, I don't think it's going to be that funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My band-intensive days were the late 80's/early 90s, and I beg to differ. The movie is chock full of humor that transcends any specific timeframe, IMO.

Having been around in the late 80's, you got to see plenty of stupidity, so you would certainly get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Matter-Eater Lad Posted January 8, 2006 Members Share Posted January 8, 2006 Howard Hessman: "Look, we'd love to stand around & chat but we've got to sit down in the lobby and wait for the limo."

Members DenverDave Posted January 8, 2006 Members Share Posted January 8, 2006 Did you get the DVD version that has the commentary option?? That is probably just as funny as the movie - best commentary disc I have ever watched (main 3 actors doing the commentary in character as the band member 20 years later - it must be heard to be believed...).

Members KirkHammett1 Posted January 8, 2006 Members Share Posted January 8, 2006 Originally posted by BrendanO The DVD is twice as hilarious, because the commentary is done in character. So they accuse Marty of being a hack, and making them look stupid "He chooses the one night the pods didn't work to put in the film!"and of course'No, no, no! If I told them once, I told them a thousand times! Spinal Tap ABOVE the puppet show!" Definately. With the commentary on, its just a whole other show, equally quoteable material in the commentary. I think I may watch it tonight. Anyone see A Mighty Wind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KirkHammett1 Posted January 8, 2006 Members Share Posted January 8, 2006 Marty DiBergi: David St. Hubbins... I must admit I've never heard anybody with that name. David St. Hubbins: It's an unusual name, well, he was an unusual saint, he's not a very well known saint. Marty DiBergi: Oh, there actually is, uh... there was a Saint Hubbins? David St. Hubbins: That's right, yes. Marty DiBergi: What was he the saint of? David St. Hubbins: He was the patron saint of quality footwear. Marty DiBergi: It's very pretty. Nigel Tufnel: Yeah, I've been fooling around with it for a few months. Marty DiBergi: It's a bit of a departure from what you normally play. Nigel Tufnel: It's part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I'm working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why. Marty DiBergi: It's very nice. Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of... Marty DiBergi: What do you call this? Nigel Tufnel: Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump".
