wie vind hier de muziek van Spinal Tap serieus goed?
ookal is de band en de film een geniaal uitgewerkte grap
ik moet toch zeggen dat het muzikaal zeer in orde is
mening

Nu we aan de vooravond staan van een baanbrekend reunie-optreden van Spinal Tap, dat ongetwijfeld het hoogtepunt zal worden van de reeks Live Earth concerten, leek het me de juiste tijd voor een retro review van het verzamelalbum This Is Spinal Tap. Zie: http://www.metalfan.nl/reviews.php?id=3775.

Billboard.comSpinal Tap Trio Announce "Unwigged" Tour
March 02, 2009 03:48 PM ET
Gary Graff, Detroit
Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer are leaving the costumes and wigs at home but will still play the music of their cinematic alter egos Spinal Tap, as well as the Folksmen from "A Mighty Wind" on a 30-date concert tour this spring.
The six-week theater trek, dubbed Unwigged & Unplugged: An Evening with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer, kicks off April 17 in Vancouver and runs through May 31 in Milwaukee. Tickets go on sale starting Friday (March 6).
"We've never gone out as ourselves," Shearer said Monday during a webcast teleconference at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. "It's interesting; after playing characters all these years, we're having meetings trying to figure out who WE are...We have to ask ourselves, 'What would WE do?'"
McKean, meanwhile, referred to outing as "a non-pony dog show," while Guest said the trio had started planning the tour "a couple years ago."
The shows' repertoire will be drawn from the two Spinal Tap albums -- "This is Spinal Tap" and "Break Like the Wind" -- as well as the soundtrack to the Guest-directed "A Mighty Wind." At the press conference Guest, McKean and Shearer played a short set that included Spinal Tap's "Hell Hole" and "Sex Farm" and "Old Joe's Place" from "A Mighty Wind."
The trio is also in the midst of recording a new Spinal Tap album that will be released May 26 and feature the "original studio versions" of the live songs on "This is Spinal Tap" and some new songs -- including the ironically titled "Short and Sweet," a 20-minute epic to which they're "adding stellar guitar player (guest) as we speak," according to McKean.
Some bonus material will likely be available for digital download only.
McKean said the partners are "trying to figure out a way to do (Spinal Tap's bass opus) 'Big Bottom' on three acoustic guitars" and said some incarnation of "Stonehenge" "is possible."
Tour information is available at www.unwigged.com, while www.spinaltap.com is also being reactivated.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7985487.stmSpinal Tap announce 'world tour'
The band played Wembley Stadium for Live Earth in 2007
Spoof band Spinal Tap have announced a "world tour" consisting of a single June date at London's Wembley Arena.
The tour marks the 25th anniversary of mockumentary film, This is Spinal Tap, which launched the band's career.
The band will be backed by 1960s folk trio The Folksmen, the focus of another spoof film, 2003's A Mighty Wind.
Spinal Tap's lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel commented: "If we're going to do a World tour on only one night, at least it's this world."
Bassist Derek Smalls added: "one night is not enough, and it's way too much".
Spinal Tap have used a variety of drummers over the years due several untimely deaths, including a spontaneous combustion on stage.
The rest of the line-up for the world tour has not been announced but the group paid tribute to former members.
Singer and rhythm guitarist David St Hubbins said: "This show will be dedicated to all of our drummers who have passed on, either to their reward or to middle management at Sainsbury's."
'Unstoppable'
The band also announced that they had tried in vain to produce some new material and will instead be releasing a new lost album this summer.
Their last tour was the Back from the Dead series of gigs in the US and Canada in 2000 and in 2007 they appeared at Live Earth.
Bassists from almost every other act on the bill including Metallica, Foo Fighters and Beastie Boys, joined Spinal Tap on stage in an effort to get the noise level up to 11 - a comedy reference to the film.
The announcement of the new tour comes after the band revealed on their website that their Unstoppable tour, scheduled for this year, had been cancelled.
The men behind Spinal Tap will be touring in their own right this summer
A letter from the tour promoter explained: "The poor economy plays a role in this decision, as does the band's history, pertaining to shows."
Spinal Tap are played by Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest and Michael McKean. The three actors will be touring America this summer in their own personae for a series of acoustic gigs called Unwigged and Unplugged.
Tickets for the one off Spinal Tap London gig go on-sale on 9th April at 0900.
"Back From The Dead" is a deluxe CD/DVD package aggressively priced and containing 19 original SPINAL TAP songs, a one-hour DVD and unique pop-up diorama package that unveils three 12-inch action figures (courtesy of Sideshow Collectibles) of the band along with a proportionally sized Stonehenge.
"Back From The Dead" is destined to be a collector's item, especially among collectors. The LP includes the newly interpreted TAP classics "Hell Hole", "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight", "Heavy Duty", "Rock 'n' Roll Creation", "America", "Cups and Cakes", "Big Bottom", "Sex Farm", "Stonehenge", "Gimme Some Money" and "(Listen to the) Flower People".
