Spinal Tap 2 ...

[Mokl]

Based on the trailer, I'm not holding out much hope. The celeb cameos feel like a portent of doom to me. I'm not sure that ever works, does it?

 

I really do hope it turns out to be decent.

I laughed at Nige working in a cheesemongers with the guitars hanging up behind him. Elton on keys and vox was a bit odd, will reserve judgement until release.

Not really, he's got form. He once played keys with Saxon.

And Queens of the Stone Age, after Elton told Josh they should have a real Queen in the band 😆

And he's worked with Ozzy, Metallica, and Alice in Chains.

Remarkable! I had no idea! He’s one of the least metal people I can think of.

It’ll be dreadful but I’ll go to watch it. £4.99 a film at my local cinema

Personally, I am really looking forward to it.  We've already decided to make it a band social.  Our singer has got a DVD to educate her daughter and her band about ST 1.  The Italian Job II was nothing like the Italian Job (my favourite movie), but I still enjoyed it!

I'm bound to have recounted this before. 

 

In the early 90's Spinal Tap were promoting their album Break Like The Wind. As part of the promotion, they came into the studio where I was recording at the time. 

 

From the moment of their arrival to their departure, 3 hours later, they remained in character and were simply hilarious.

Always a bit of a worry when celebs are brought in on the joke. Zoolander 2 was terrible because of this, but hopefully they'll avoid that here.

I'm probably massively over-analysing it, but I think what bugs me from the trailers is that it's set in a world where Spinal Tap (the movie) is a comedy classic (i.e. our world). Whereas in the world of the movie, they would definitely be residing in the "Where Are They Now?" file. But complaining about a film before I've seen it is probably unfair.....

Will the amps go up to 11.2 I wonder

 

ST 1 was one of the reasons I bought an EBS head - they too go up to 11
