		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.

	The Criterion Collection: This is Spinal Tap
		In assessing Spinal Tap’s place in rock ’n’ roll history (apart, that is, from the full page they already occupy in the Rocklopedia Brittanicus), one has to take into account the extraordinary extent to which the well-chronicled events of their lives have entered into rock legend.
		Although reaching back to the band’s beginnings with a few archival film clips, This Is Spinal Tap essentially documents a recent moment in the band’s checkered history—one that only coincidentally represents a brief decline in the sine wave of their careers.
		As seen in this classic film, Spinal Tap emerge as truly heroic figures from a bygone age, from a time when the surest sign of a profoundly awesome band was its ability to trash a hotel room thoroughly and escape without paying for it.

	Sonos Metallicos - Arvostelu: Spinal Tap - This Is Spinal Tap
		Spinal Tap on kaukana oikeasta yhtyeestä; bändi oli alunperin koomikko Rob Reinerin luomus, parodia rockin ja heavy metalin suuryhtyeistä kuten Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin ja Aerosmith.
		This Is Spinal Tap on siis soundtrack samannimiselle elokuvalle, joka pääsi hihnalta vuonna 1984 ja joka on sittemmin niittänyt kulttimainetta hevimiesten ja -naisten keskuudessa.
		Spinal Tap on siis tarinan mukaan Englannin suosituin ja suurin heavy metal-bändi, joka on menettänyt rumpaleita mitä omituisimmilla tavoilla perustamisvuodestaan (1964) lähtien.

	Review: This Is Spinal Tap (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This Is Spinal Tap purports to be the documentary effort of a filmmaker named Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner) to chronicle the comeback attempt of his favorite heavy metal group, Spinal Tap.
		This Is Spinal Tap is constructed to resemble the work of a genuine low-budget documentarian, except that the tone, instead of being earnest, is mocking.
		In 1992, there was a Spinal Tap "reunion" special, and the three main players gathered in a room in 2000 to record an in-character DVD commentary track.

	This Is Spinal Tap @ Filmbug
		This Is Spinal Tap remains the funniest, and most truthful, look at rock culture ever filmed and a personal best for all involved.
		Spinal Tap are everything that was silly, trite and ridiculous about the music industry in the early 80's.
		The jokes in `This Is Spinal Tap' do not overshadow the characters and the story told, but with very few actual jokes the film is still unbelievably, consistently, laugh-out-loud roll-on-the-floor funny.
