Title: Not a real band, but better than a lot of them
Review: I have been a devoted fan of Spinal Tap, both the film and the phenomenon, for years upon years. I was fortunate enough to see Tap play live, and even though they are "just" actors in character, they put on a fun and rocking show... Nigel's guitar solos were so long that the rest of the band went out for sandwiches and a massage (seen on the video screens) and he finished off by propping one guitar up on a stand and shooting it with darts from across the stage, and as for "Stonehenge", well, Derek said it all when he stopped the song mid-way and shouted "it's not too big, your building is too f**king small!". Musically, they are just above competent, but this music is so much fun to listen to. They really skewered the cliches of 60's 70's and 80's rock.Final note: When I saw them at the Universal Amphitheater in L.A. in the early 90's, a mosh pit formed. A MOSH PIT! Kids... they don't get it.
