man after seeing this they need to make a sequel to spinal tap with all these old rockers trying to squeeze the last dimes out of there careers that peeked 30 years ago its more than appropriate commentary just as it was when the original came out back in the day plus when you get these 3 together its guaranteed laughs
True story: I sing and play drums. Someone's party I said, you know "Hotel California?" because I was going to do keyboards. guy said "yes." He lied. (it's a 3 feel in 4. High hat is like a waltz) Had to ignore him the rest of the song. Drummers in a nutshell. Not even the first time I've heard it entirely wrong in paying gigs. Not my money, though. Also: "One does not simply invent new and inappropriate drum fills for 'Hotel California.' "
"We know now, even if you're dead, you're not." "Especially when you're dead you're not." "That's the point at which you are least dead." I love how they feed off of each other. If there's ever an Improv Comedy Hall of Fame, Spinal Tap should the first inductees. Pure genius! They have absolutely perfected that inane, wannabe intellectual, meaningless, Rock Star interviewee, psychobabble. It's understandable why some musicians cried actual tears of sadness when they saw the Spinal Tap movie.
Stunningly high intelligence at display. I love how Nigel is a half-tick slow in his delivery on long-winded, convoluted misapprehensions of history and philosophy. Must drive the others' quick minds crazy, yet I think Guest gets some joy out of doing that to them as his own second-level joke. This video really highlights McKean's brilliance.
Not only was it one of the bloodiest wars, but it went down on record as the drunkest war ever fought.. and thank God for that. If not for the brutal hangovers- they'd probably still be fighting today...and if you've never fired a gun repeatedly for hours with a splitting headache- stopping only to vomit- it's not a lot of fun. Believe me. Then again there are some historians who suggest were it not for the drinking, they might never have started fighting in the first place.
"What was that unusual time signature?" "It was 4/4" .....also known as "common time" So damn funny. Guest is truly a genius but they are all AMAZINGLY gifted!
comedic geniuses, improvising quotable hilarity left right and centre, bouncing off each other in character they deserve respect for not bursting into laughter. And the music as ironic as it still rocks. I love nigel.
"...and it was a weird time signature...what was it?...it was 4/4" lol That is the most common signature in history! Love the "Tap. Tonight I am gonna rock you tonight!
From MSNBC: "Michael McKean, best known for playing Lenny in the '70s hit TV comedy "Laverne and Shirley" and David St. Hubbins in the mockumentary film "This Is Spinal Tap," was hospitalized on Tuesday after being hit by a car in New York. The actor, 64, suffered a broken leg and facial lacerations after being struck when a car jumped a curb at the intersection of W. 86 St. and Broadway. He is being treated at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, according to NBC New York."
Fascinating. Sometimes the artists themselves struggle to communicate their intent and their opinions. These rock legends do not. They just say the first things that come into their heads and do so without regard to who might watch the interview. Very brave to the point of being bold.
OMG! I totally missed the Irish-Indian War in history class. Thank goodness Spinal Tap is here to set the record straight. When the Indians went to Ellis Island to get their Christian names, one can clearly see how the tensions between the indigenous Americans and the Irish were highly sparkable and erupted into the bloody culture clash. So bloody and culturally clashy was this conflict, to this day, history writers are too pained to chronicle it for school children.
@@haeuptlingaberja4927 I saw them live in Boston when the movie was released. They were about 45 minutes late onstage. Finally, Michael McKean walked out on stage, asked the crowd if anyone in the audience had an extra guitar cable., It was hilarious..
"In ancient times... Hundreds of years before the spanish landing, lived a strange race of people... the indians... No one knows who they were or where they've go !"
Think Phil Collins. Now think his most popular song. Yup. "In the Air Tonite." See? not hard to play, but hard not to overplay. note: if playing with glowsticks, play the pre-recorded part so they sticks dont just stay on. Makes them.a bit redundant, then.
"In all our years, we never heard anyone say, 'Turn it down!'"
"Well, we wouldn't have heard it anyway."
Yeah, that's kind of the point, lol
Lololol😂😂😂

unusual time signature, 4/4, hilarious

this was filmed before chuck had to switch to an acoustic guitar due to electromagnetic sensitivity.
"chuck"?
@@kipperfeast McKean played Chuck on Better call saul

I was cracking up watching the movie WITHOUT SOUND OR TITLES in a bar.
Stone sober.
"Great rock and roll should hurt. It should change your life, not necessarily for the better."
truer words were never spoken.
Derek Smalls' 'Does this look infected?' shirt is epic.
The other shirt reads Sepsis.
'We played short and sweet... for two hours'
I think it takes at least that long to get over the idea they *pay you,* sometimes ridiculously well, even, to have fun!
lol

Haha probably. Although I think their strongest suit is their patience with each other
"We know now, even if you're dead, you're not"....... lol
lol
Jazz is the music of fear ;-)
"We played 'Short and Sweet" for two hours. I scarred me internally."
Join a band. You have the conversations every day.

6:31 "No offense intended. None taken. None mended."
I laughed so hard :)
Yet another classic addition to the Spinal Tap legacy!
"What was that unusual time signature?" "It was 4/4" .....also known as "common time" So damn funny. Guest is truly a genius but they are all AMAZINGLY gifted!
I love this almost as much as the movie itself, hilarious as hell!
Geronimo's real name was Gershowitz before he changed it at Ellis Island...ROTFLMAO!!!
comedic geniuses, improvising quotable hilarity left right and centre, bouncing off each other in character they deserve respect for not bursting into laughter. And the music as ironic as it still rocks. I love nigel.
"It didn't hurt the beast,dunno how that worked" I could imagine Karl Pilkington saying that
I instantly laughed when I saw Christopher Guest in the wig...that shows you how funny that character is
drumzmagoo LORD BARON Christopher Guest. Even funnier when you know this 😂
I think its supposed to be like John Paul Jones.
I have been well and truly rocked.
most bands talk rubbish..Tap inform .they could have been lecturers in another life
If you see Metallica being interviewed, they sound exactly like this. They are very dull people who happen to be amazing musicians.
Copacetic Nirvana gave similar interviews.
@@copacetic9018 when is the amazing part?
I can't stand their whining.
and their drummer. lol
When Nige is so serious describing something... and I'm actually buying into it... then you start laughing... he's so stupid! he's endearing
Are these guys in the RnRhof yet?
I think its disgusting that they put rap in at all.
by definition, it doesn't even qualify. :)
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 you just had to be that guy. your cover band is shit by the way
The IRISH / INDIAN wars . (why no mention of that in history books ?? )
YOUR ALBUM SHARK SANDWICH HAS MERELY A TWO WORD REVIEW...
"SHIT SANDWICH"
"That's not real, is it?"
You can't print that, can you?
I appreciate RUclips recommendations....great footage. Now searching for big bottoms..
"you think you want to has jazz"
Holy balls man, these guys are genius.
Guest could do a great Jeff Beck even without makeup, but with production it would be spot on. Wish there was an audience for it.
"...and it was a weird time signature...what was it?...it was 4/4" lol That is the most common signature in history! Love the "Tap. Tonight I am gonna rock you tonight!
autistic much
This is one of the funniest things I've ever heard!
Hahaha Nigel always citing his "research"!!!
These guys play off each other so well! Couldn't stop laughing!

this is the funniest thing i have ever seen
these guys are absolute geniuses of conversational improvisation. where talking complete rubbish for hours is art.
I grew up in one room at a time.
You want to "has" jazz..... One of my favorite Derek lines ever!! 1:17-1:20.
"If a deer could go like this..." *shrugs* "...then he did"
That made me nearly piss myself
"Well, WE wouldn't have heard it anyway." LMAO
"You think you want to has jazz"
Harry Shearer = legend

"That's where they got it, though, in case I ever hear it."
how can they keep a straight face that's talent, this is too funny!!
Forgot about the Irish-Indian war..... Man I am in desperate need of a sequel.
I could listen to these guys for days..
Feel bad for you if you weren't in a band in the 80's and have no frame of reference.
Did this type of thing go away?
I still see it all the time, lol.
I was, and I am still floored. We were smart-arses and thought ourselves clever, but we never had these comedic chops. Epic.
@@haeuptlingaberja4927
I saw them live in Boston when the movie was released.
They were about 45 minutes late onstage.
Finally, Michael McKean walked out on stage, asked the crowd if anyone in the audience had an extra guitar cable.,
It was hilarious..
"...real life situations....Stardust!" Genius!
The Irish Indian wars. fucking LOL!!!
Odd time signature...
4/4
LOVE IT!
7:26, Nigel's mind has been blown.
Can't believe "David" is also Chuck from Better Call Saul o.O
I liked this before evening watching it
10:51 it takes a huge amount of genius to be this stupid 😂😂I love it
Thin line between clever and stupid.
Hahaha, the "Irish indian wars"
02.20 "Ripped a stag's horn of its head and blew! It as the most beautiful sound..."
LOL
Damn, this is AWESOME!
was interesting to learn about the irish-indian wars these guys really know what theyre talking about.
Tremendous - more Tap!
The Irish-Indian war. Classic Tap.
lol, "Do you want to hear Jazz"? epic!!
Changing seats for each topic😂😂
It's important to wear a conundrum in this day and age.
You can't really dust for vomit.
American history according to Spinal Tap. I almost choked at my desk I was laughing so much. They have not lost their touch it seems roflmao !!!!!
lmao great improv as all three of them are such talented guys/actors/writers/impresionists
"Well WE wouldn't have heard it, anyway..."
"You can't say that. It's way too offensed, isn't it?"
Still absolutely bloody hilarious!!!
'It had an unusual time signature - what was it?'
'4/4'
'ah yeah, 4/4'
“It’s important to wear a conundrum in this day and age”.
“They pass ‘em out in school “ hahaha. PLEASE re-unite!!
11/11
Unusual time signature 4/4 heh..
"it's important to wear a conundrum in this day and age"
"they pass them out at schools now"
Where did that come from? Genius! 😄😄😄
Not only was this funny, but informative, too. I now know a lot more about the history of America XD
How did they get their English accents so real...? I was blown away when i found out the where all Americans ha ha,
The one guy's father was a Brit. Nigel, I think. He's married to Jamie Lee Curtis btw.
"In ancient times... Hundreds of years before the spanish landing, lived a strange race of people... the indians... No one knows who they were or where they've go !"
LOL Woodhenge is about 2 miles from Stonehenge.
It's pretty boring too.
After all these years he's still got a tuthis.
"Earthhenge doesn't exist." "Neither does woodhenge..." "...no, but it ought." xD
An older, wiser Spinal Tap.
in the world were in today, they couldnt film this now. Someone would flag it for hate speech during the writing stage.
If a beast could go like this 🤷🏾♀️then he did
LOL. Since when is 4/4 time signature unusual. I love these guys
"He used to come over to my house to use the toilet"
...and they still hate Jazz xD
Think Phil Collins.
Now think his most popular song.
Yup. "In the Air Tonite."
See? not hard to play, but hard not to overplay.
note: if playing with glowsticks, play the pre-recorded part so they sticks dont just stay on.
Makes them.a bit redundant, then.
Does this look infected?
Spinal Tap, wow, Tap. Its really them. Unbe-fuckin-leavible.
SO CLASSIC......much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO...[the band}..
I can just picture The Devil in Nigel's dream. "NIGEL! YOU SHALL EAT DRUMS!" XD
the guy with the sideburns looks like Dave Brock,kingpin of Hawkwind!
I think the real problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage in danger of being crushed by a dwarf!!
Hey, it's Dave Brock from Hawkwind on the left!!!
Am I the only one who thinks that Nigel Tuffnel is the spitting image of Richie Blackmore?
"Short n sweet for 2 hrs" lol
Don't blow your wad on just one song. These guys still don't get it. It's all about "Foam Henge".
Christopher Guest is turning into Jeff Beck with age...
The Irish/Indian wars.
