BBC iPlayer volume goes up to 11... made me giggle when I saw that.
Legendary rockers Spinal Tap are back in the studio after an extended musical hiatus broken only by their breathtaking performance at 2007's Live Earth spectacular in London. Speaking to BBC 5 Live, actor and Simpsons voiceover artist Harry Shearer - aka Tap bassist Derek Smalls - said: "We've never recorded the song we did at …
Rock on!
I want an amp that goes to 11!
Why?
"Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?"
Do you think this one will go to eleven?
...and is that one louder than anything in the top ten?
I'm sure I'd feel a lot better about this if I wasn't under such heavy sedation.
The crucial thing about 'Da Tap, is that as well as being achingly funny, it's also damn fine rock music they create.
I saw a clip on You Tube of their "how many bassists?" version of Big Bottom - brilliant stuff!
I was on some website the other day and noticed the volume control on the video player went up to 11. Niiice... :-D
that this will earn a place in the Top 11.
The answer is none. None more black.

That would be the BBC iPlayer, a very nice touch having 11 on the volume...

... because ols Fender Amps went all the way to twelve!
Will it be blues-jazz or jazz-blues influenced? That's if Dave's wife ( "It's your f**kin' wife! She's not my wife! Whatever f**k she is!" ) let's him play of course!
How many drummers will they go through this time?
I see the record companies have changed the name of the '84 album in order to sell it to us again.
The album that defined the none-blacker-than line between clever and stupid was "Smell The Glove". "This Is Spinal Tap" was the film.
you can get them...
I have them on my amp and guitar...
I'm waiting for the day they have knobs that go to 12... cos you see, once you're at 11, where else is there to go... with a knob that goes up to 12, you can go one louder...
for "Saucy Jack" to open on the West End and Broadway.
And as I leave you, I would like to say "Stone--enge!!"

What about the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium (the old one) in 1992?

Where's the "Stonehenge was in serious danger of being knocked over by a dwarf!" icon when you need it?
Excellent news, and nice to see the Tap fans coming out of the woodwork :-)
I want the guitar they had at the Albert Hall concert - the Marshall guitar that you could make louder by plugging another part onto the bottom of the guitar.
ah - an article here: http://news.harmony-central.com/News/2001/Marshall-Guitar-Auction.html
ttfn
wot no Spinal Tap icon?
.....is actually quite a good album.
The Tap are always welcome.
Although you would likely have only seen it if you were the barkeep, the on-screen volume control on many Atari coin-op games "goes to 11". (5-bit log attenuator + mute, how could I resist :-)
excellent news
Paris Hilton - it's a hotel and you don't have an icon for Edgewater Inn or mudsharks ;)
Pardon me while I shake my head at the lack of originality.
11 minutes of course.
I just like to be first to mention "Lick my Love Pump" and use a PH icon
...will it be recorded in Dubbly?
Enquiring Australian Hairdresser's Nightmares need to know!
Mine's the one with the zucchini wrapped in tin foil in the pocket.
Nobody knows who they were....or what they were doing....
Carvin has amps that go to 12!
