	CMT.com : Spinal Tap : Biography
		Spinal Tap comes from the 1984 satirical movie This Is Spinal Tap, a Rob Reiner film starring actors/comedians Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer.
		Spinal Tap's 1982 tour got off to a bad start when some of their biggest gigs were canceled, and they were forced to play in much smaller arenas.
		Although Spinal Tap may never release another album, film another movie, or do another tour, their work provides rock fans with authentic '80s metal that, ironically, surpasses the work of many of the artists they imitated.

	Spinal Tap (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The band is "mostly fictional" in the sense that its primary members have always been actors parodying heavy metal stereotypes, yet by playing concerts and releasing albums, they've blurred the line between fact and fiction.
		Spinal Tap has had a succession of drummers, all of whom have died under odd circumstances: one in a "bizarre gardening accident"; another "choked on vomit," (although it was never determined whose vomit it was), and a third from apparent spontaneous human combustion onstage, leaving a small green stain on his drum stool.
		Spinal Tap's "none more fl" quote inspired the name of the punk band of the same name.

	Spinal Tap DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		‘This is Spinal Tap’ is a hilariously detailed chronicle of a disastrous American tour by the ne’er-do-well musical group, who over a decade and a half of borderline existence have changed their act to suit current tastes.
		Spinal Tap has captured the imagination of filmmaker Marty Di Bergi (Reiner), who has leapt at the chance to do a documentary on his idols.
		Nearly all of the material seems to have been cut in order to bring ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ in at a certain running time, rather than for lack of humor, as there’s nary a moment that betrays either the ingenuity or the spirit of the footage we already know and love.

	This Is Spinal Tap (1984/2000): Rob Reiner, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer - PopMatters Film Review
		Spinal Tap's brand of death metal/glam rock has deteriorated into a distant memory that survives only in jokes about hairspray, K-Tel record offers, and the occasional nostalgia tour by Iron Maiden, Posion, Whitesnake, or countless other bands that no one under the age of 21 remembers.
		When the song ends, the DJ says: "...the band reformed as Spinal Tap, had a couple of hits, and currently resides in the 'Where are now?' file." This is the only time in the film when the group is confronted with their own failure.
		Spinal Tap refuses to recognize this truth: they're still ready for their close-up, but the camera has long since trained its eye on someone else.

		Spinal Tap, a little over fifteen years old, still has the sharp bite and wit it had when it first came out.
		The film is a fictional documentary about an aging British rock band (self-proclaimed 'loudest' band in England) embarking on their first US tour in a number of years.
		Spinal Tap is guitarist Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest, Best in Show, Almost Heroes), lead vocalist David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean, Little Nicky, Mystery, Alaska) and bassist Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer, The Simpsons, Dick).

		These days, Spinal Tap could probably get away with the original cover, as described by the publicist (Fran Drescher): "A woman on all fours, greased up, with a dog collar around her neck, and a man's glove in her face, asking her to smell the glove?!!"
		The band members of Spinal Tap consisted of David St. Hubbins(McKean), who is the band's vocalist and one of two main guitarists.
		The band became known as the loudest, and in some circles, the most talentless, band in England.

	DVD Times - This Is Spinal Tap - Special Edition
		This Is Spinal Tap is a hilarious spoof, and actors fill the parts to such a believable extent that you'd seriously think that the goings-on presented in the film are real, if it weren't so damned funny.
		Not only is This Is Spinal Tap one of the best rockumentaries of all time, but it's the best 'mock'umentary of them all, and is regarded as one of the funniest films to ever grace the cinematic screen.
		This Is Spinal Tap is one of those films in which the hype and praise heaped upon it is fully deserved.

	This Is Spinal Tap Movie -The 80s Rewind «
		Spinal Tap, now in great disarray, ends their tour not in an arena or a stadium, but at an amusement park second-billed after a puppet show.
		There is a deleted subplot in the movie which explains the cold sores on the band members' lips: the band takes on an opening act for the tour and the lead singer, a slutty girl, sleeps with each bandmember, giving each one herpes in turn.
		According to the BBC 1 documentary when rock ruled the world, spinal tap were actually based on UK heavy metal group Saxon and not Iron Maiden as earlier suggested, this is backed up by several of the films stars.

		The classic This is Spinal Tap is truly the greatest depiction of a rock band in cinematic history.
		Bands like that did exist in much worse form even, and -that's even scarier- they still do today (again, no need to mention names, those with even half a brain know the culprits).
		As a movie, "Spinal Tap" does well picking on all the rock cliches and their inane shallowness, it does even better representing the average rock farsical god, but it does so without keeping you interested enough, especially if you're not a rock afficionado and you dont "see" the references.

	Spinal Tap: The Official History
		SPINAL TAP made their biggest splash at the now-legendary Electric Zoo concerts in Wimpton, culminating in the then-legendary two-horn St. Hubbins/Tufnel guitar solo on Short and Sweet.
		Capitalizing on this momentum, SPINAL TAP regrouped with drummer Mick Shrimpton (once drummer with the Eurovision Song Contest house band) and toured the States for the first time since the late sixties.
		SPINAL TAP's twelfth album, Smell the Glove, was the center of controversy due to its allegedly sexist cover art.

	This Is Spinal Tap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name Spinal Tap might come from the 1959 dystopian science fiction novel 'Wolfbane' by Frederik Pohl and Cyril Kornbluth that includes the draining of spinal fluid (using a spinal tap) as a particularly unpleasant and lengthy form of execution.
		The band members were expecting a full sized, 18-foot (5.5 meter) high replica, but were instead presented with an 18-inch (46 cm) model, made exactly as indicated on the original plan by Tufnel (a bar napkin with 18" instead of 18' written on it).
		The film ends with Spinal Tap performing in Japan with new drummer, Joe "Mama" Besser (a reference to one of the latter members of The Three Stooges), after Mick Shrimpton's sudden death from spontaneous human combustion.

	This Is Spinal Tap - The Premiere (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		When Rob Reiner’s mock rockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap” first hit theater screens some 16 years go, many didn’t really get the joke that this was not a real band, but a bunch of hired actors, posing as a mentally defunct heavy metal band.
		Soon the opening band appeared on stage and it took me a few seconds to realize that what we were offered there were none others than Spinal Tap, playing folk songs - with a twist of course.
		This was an exciting night and a fantastic party that MGM put up for their re-release of “This Is Spinal Tap.” It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get to actually get to see “Spinal Tap” live and I am thankful I didn’t miss it.

	This Is Spinal Tap (1984) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The gritty, unpretty reality of rock music is on display in director Marty DiBergi's unsparing rockumentary "This Is Spinal Tap," which chronicles the British metal band's tour through the United States in the latter part of 1982.
		The band struggles on, and perceptive viewers may detect a slight note of friction between Tufnel and Jeanine, St. Hubbins's girlfriend, for example when Tufnel throws his guitar down on stage, stares at Jeanine accusingly for a minute, and then quits the band.
		But the band soldiers on, and by the end, you will be glad you stuck around, too, rough as it is to see the harshness on screen.

	This Is Spinal Tap: Criterion Collection (1984)
		Long considered a cult classic, This Is Spinal Tap has taken on new significance in the decade of the aging rocker, and dead-on satire secured it a place in history as one of the funniest films ever made.
		This is Spinal Tap was the documentary I had watched on TV about this group.
		I actually avoided it, even after I discovered Spinal Tap was a mock band, more on the fact that mockumentaries never amused me. I had seen a Canadian film called Hard Core Logo and was not at all amused by it.

	This Is Spinal Tap
		This Is Spinal Tap is a magnificent and classic look at the gradual fall from grace of the heavy metal band Spinal Tap, reputedly the greatest and LOUDEST heavy metal band in the history of the genre.
		We get to see the band "warts and all" as this tour doesn't go the way they expect, and are provided with an intimate insight into the band members' personal lives and loves.
		Yes, I know This Is Spinal Tap is satire and the band is not real as such, but half the fun in seeing this movie for the first time is finding this out for yourself.

		The film chronicles hard rock band Spinal Tap, as they tour the US in support of their album "Smell the Glove" (circa 1982).
		While this version of the band didn't have much commercial or critical success, they were quite influential on many of the "hair" bands of the 1980s.
		Spinal Tap's 1980 album SMELL THE GLOVE was a poorly conceived comeback album for the one time British greats SPINAL TAP.

		The band is made up of five members at the present time: David St. Hubbins (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Nigel Tufnel (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Derek Smalls (Bass, Vocals), drummer of the week Mick Shrimpton (Drummer), and Viv Savage (Keyboards, vocals).
		He follows the band, and their entourage, around the United States during their first stateside tour in recent memory.

		Still “This Is Spinal Tap” is one of the few truly hilarious movies that a large majority of people have neither heard of or seen.
		Everything about the movie is genuinely funny--from the names of their albums (“Intravenous De Milo”, “Shark Sandwich”, “The Gospel According to Spinal Tap”) and songs (“Big Bottom”, “Hell Hole”, “Stonehenge”, “Sex Farm Woman” and “Rock’n’Roll of Creation”) to the band’s philosophies and back-story, the entire script is chock full of crafted satire.
		As absurd as their remarks and music are, they almost convince you that they could indeed be a real rock band.

		A band of un-legendary proportions, arguably proclaimed 'the loudest band in the world' and on a downward slope to obscurity and mediocrity, who should have taken the world by storm.
		Not, you may think because of their musical genius (for they had none), but for the groundbreaking style and hilarious content of this 'rockumentary' in which their trials and tribulations are featured and which was largely overlooked when it was initially released.
		The band, Spinal Tap, did not really exist, devised as it was by Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Michael McKean, who star as the three lead protagonists, and also Rob Reiner, who helmed the whole project behind the camera, as well as taking on the role of documentary maker, Marty DiBergi.
