Sark Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 QUOTE (Test4VitalSigns @ May 11 2005, 12:21 PM) Spinal Tap is on my "DVD's To Get List" tomorrow....Which version is the best possible version to buy? Come on Tapheads help me out!!! Haven't seen this movie in years! Wasn't the whole "Stonehenge" part based on real life problems Black Sabbath was having (When Ian Gillan sang for them) in the early 80's? I vaguely recalled Sabbath had a Stonehenge stage theme but had problems getting it set up in small arenas during the tour.... You had a Stonehenge that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf!

rushfanNlv Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Guitar Player magazine had a feature in the May issue: "99 Ways to Play Better Now" where guitarists gave their tips or advise on playing better or sounding better. Number 13 comes from Mr. Nigel Tufnel himself and I quote: "Start playing loud when you're young, and you'll be one step ahead of the game. If you start off playing soft, it will get you into a lot of bad habits. Terrible, terrible habits. Look at these jazz people. Of course they play soft. It's a trick so you can't hear them." Of course there was a complaint letter in the next issue where some jazz player was offended by what Nigel had said. The writer of the letter was even more concerned about the negative affects of teaching our children to "play loud". GP published the letter without pointing out the joke. I think that took a lot of class. This one goes to 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushbass Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 David St. Hubbins: "Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

rushbass Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Nigel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and... Martin: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten? Nigel: Exactly. Martin: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder? Nigel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? Martin: I don't know. Nigel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Martin: Put it up to eleven. Nigel: Elevn. Exactly. One louder. Martin: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? [Pause.] Nigel: These go to eleven.

I saw an interview with Geezer (sabbath documentary) a while back, and he said that they made huge stonehenge models. So big in fact they coudn't get them through doors and had to leave them in some containers at some docks somewhere. HAHA! Spinal tap just reversed the size issue around Ha ha F..k the napkin!

condemned2bfree Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Lt. Hookstratten: This is our monthly "At Ease" weekend. It gives us a chance to let our hair down, although I see you've got a head start in that department. I shouldn't talk, though, I'm getting a little shaggy myself. I'd better not stand too close to you, people might think I'm part of the band. I'm joking, of course. Viv savage's face at this point is classic. Man I love this film.

condemned2bfree Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 The Guys from spinal tap studied 'Saxon' of all people, to get familiar with rock and roll poses etc. I heard this is where derrick(forgot the actors name) realized to play open e,a etc notes freeing his other hand, enabling him to punch the air at the crowd.

condemned2bfree Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marty DiBergi: "This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry." Nigel Tufnel: That's just nitpicking, isn't it? Nigel Tufnel: What's wrong with being sexy? Ian: Sexist, sexist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbass Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 David: I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. 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. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object. Ian: I really think you're just making a much too big thing out of it. Derek: Making a big thing out of it would've been a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
