Spinal Tap

[Grassman]

'I could play Stairway to Heaven on my guitar when i was just 21 and Jimmy Page did not write until he was 27 ?, I think that says a lot'

Isn't that from Bad News? The rather funny Comic Strip film?

"We had a stonehenge monument that was in danger of being crushed by a DWARF! This tended to understate the hugeness of the object!"

^ That used to be my signature! ^


"I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn't believe anything."

Yes it was. Genius. Almost as good as Tap. Almost.

"I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece..."

St Hubbins, the patron saint of quality footwear.

 

[The Large One]

(When asked what happened to their first drummer)
David St. Hubbins: He died in a bizarre gardening accident...
Nigel Tufnel: Authorities said... best leave it... unsolved.

"It's called lick my love pump"

 

[Hotchilidog]

Hundreds of people spontaneously combust every year. You just don't get to hear about it.

[The Large One]

Not a quote from the film, but a quote from the actor / drummer, Rick Parnell, being asked to play Mick Shrimpton...

"The first question they asked was, 'What do you think about a movie that's going to tear your career apart?' I said, 'You should have made this movie about 10 years ago.' They then asked me what other bands I'd been in, and I said, 'Well, I was in a band called Atomic Rooster.' They looked at each other and said, 'Yep, that's it, you're our man.'

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Nigel T: The sustain, listen to it.

Marty DB: I don't hear anything.

Nigel T: Well you would though, if it were playing.

Dm. Saddest of all the keys.

"I'm just as god made me sir"

Boo! Beat me to it. I use that quote whenever anyone calls me ugly. Or a prick.

 

[del strangefish]

...and this is my other special friend!

 

[del strangefish]

I told them to put puppet show after spinal tap

At least we got the big dressing room.
What, bigger then the puppets!

 

[Doc Lynam]

Dont worry about Boston its not a big college town.

 

[Man of Harveys]

"Come on, come on, mime is money. Do the bird."

"You know what the title of that book should be? 'Yes I can if Frank Sinatra says it's ok'"

 

[RexCathedra]

Don't worry about Boston -- it's not a big college town.

My daughter goes to Wellesley, a short train ride out of Boston. When someone's plans for a date, or to see a concert, in the city falls through, (I was going to say 'goes tits up', but at Wellesley they'd kill you for that) that's the stock response.

Introducing themselves to the crowd at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert:

"Helloooooooo Wimbledon"

And that's The Majesty Of Rock!
The Mystery of Roll!
The darning of the sock,
The scoring of the goal!
The farmer takes a wife
The barber takes a pole.
We're in this together...and ever...
