I knew a guy wh thought that Spinal Tap...

They recorded a second album in 1992, Break Like The Wind.

Still funny songs, but also good. Go figure, they're better than a lot of "real" bands.
 
...was a REAL BAND!

And I spent about a half hour trying to convince hin otherwise. He finally gave me an open when he said "That lead singer looks like Lenny fro Laverne & Shirley". I then told him "That IS the guy!". That finally convinced him. Just thought I'd share this funny and true story.

Just don't show him the band members names after watching the closing credits of The Simpsons - his world view might totally implode :)
 
I first watched "This Is Spinal Tap" on video, and when I turned of the tape there was an interview with David Lee Roth on MTV.

As someone once said of this mockumentary, you can't parody the rock scene.
 
I showed the DVD to someone a few months ago and they too thought it was a real documentary until they saw Fran Drescher quite early on.

She was a fan of the Osbournes though, so after she watched that show religiously it wouldn't have been too strange that she thought Spinal Tap was real.
 
Re: I knew a guy who thought that Spinal Tap...

^yup, that's him.

"You know good urologist?"

I had recently bought the (finally) cleaned up & officially released DVD. And had ripped it and been watching here at work, so i thought I'd finally put up an avatar.
 
Are you suggesting The D is not a real band?

I'm a bit fuzzy on their formation - but this seems like a good time to ask...

Did Tenacious D start as a band or a TV show? I always assumed it was two guys mesing around, then one of them (JB most likely) pitched a comedy idea.

Or have the true origins faded away into 'legend'
 
Tap played live at the Freddie Mercury tribute and at Live 8 (or was it Live Earth?)


David St Hubbins: "We've cut our set down just a bit today. Because Freddy would have wanted it that way" (as cameras pan down to set list taped to the stage with only one song on it). Sadly, their performance of "Majesty Of Rock" was cut from the official release of the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. Bastards! I saw Tap live four times and they rocked me to my hell hole every time.

Also, The Rutles were great! Who will ever forget being a part of Rutlemania and the first time they heard their favorite song by the Prefab Four?
