One of the best!

 

[Randy]

Well, it's on par with his singing.

A real masterpiece.

Holy crap. I expected bad but...

This kinda upsets me because there were a lot of people there cheering. I knew that the common consumer knew very little about music, but to pay to see somebody do that, and then be satisfied...

YouTube - Nigel Tufnel amazing guitar shred solo

Holy crap. I like how he tuned that violin (viola or cello?) at the very end of the video as if it made a difference.

Usually I see a video so amazing it makes me want to quit guitar, but these were so bad, it makes me want to quit.

The Nigel Tufnel one is supposed to be bad...it's from "This is Spinal Tap" which is a mockumentary about an ageing rock band. If you haven't watched it, watch it, it's hilarious!

 

[noodles]

Dude has never seen Spinal Tap? :lol:

 

[Stitch]

...how can any self-respecting guitarist not have at least heard of Nigel Tufnel?!

Well I guess I am not a self-respecting (or peer-respected) guitarist.

WATCH SPINAL TAP.

WATCH IT NOW. :squint:

 

[Stitch]

Calm down, kid.

 

[MFB]

WATCH SPINAL TAP.

WATCH IT NOW. :squint:

He's really not missing much :shrug: It's alright but nothing too "holy shit I'll watch this for ever till I die!" like people make it out to be

Haha, okay. Also, I don't own a tv, so I will have to find it interwebz style.:metal:

It gets better with repeated watching.

Also, the more experience I get playing music, the more hilarious certain scenes become. Like getting lost under the stage, or having people request totally out-of-genre songs at a party that your band probably shouldn't be playing in the first place :lol:

 

[Hungoverstin]

The commentary on the dvd is also absurdly awesome.

I wonder if this is what gave St Sanders the idea for all those parody videos

Seriously, man, being at least passingly familiar with Spinal Tap is sort of mandatory for a rock guitarist. Go rent it. You won't get it at first (drinks help), but over time things will keep happening that remind you of Spinal Tap, and it gets funnier.

This local bar used to do Sunday night movies, and a friend of mine randomly popped in for a drink one sunday right as they were putting on Spinal Tap. It was AWESOME, my friend hadn't seen it before, so it was kind of an educational experience for her.
