Gimme some (more) money, demand Spinal Tap

Alex

Classic! 

Heart

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?"

DutchOven

New single 

Joke

Do you think this one will go to eleven?

...and is that one louder than anything in the top ten?

Eddie Edwards

Awesome 

Thumb Up

I'm sure I'd feel a lot better about this if I wasn't under such heavy sedation.

Rock on!

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

I feel confident 

Thumb Up

that this will earn a place in the Top 11.

How much more black could this be? 

Happy

The answer is none. None more black.

BBC iPlayer volume goes up to 11... made me giggle when I saw that.

"I was on some website the other day and noticed the volume control on the video player went up to 11. Niiice... :-D""

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

Les Matthew

Someone at the BBC must be a fan.

Bastiaan van Zwieten

I bet they'll switch Amps ... 

... because ols Fender Amps went all the way to twelve!

The Fuzzy Wotnot

Hmmmm 

Thumb Up

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!

Boris the Cockroach

Question 

How many drummers will they go through this time?

Sanjirmil Srith Terklaren

How could I leave this behind? 

Thumb Down

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.

paulc

knobs that go up to 11... 

Thumb Up

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...

steven kraft

I'm still waiting... 

Happy

for "Saucy Jack" to open on the West End and Broadway.

And as I leave you, I would like to say "Stone--enge!!"

Doc Dish

Some mistake, shurely? 

Dead Vulture

"...extended musical hiatus broken only by their breathtaking performance at 2007's Live Earth spectacular in London."

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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Mercury_Tribute_Concert#Without_Queen

Where's the "Stonehenge was in serious danger of being knocked over by a dwarf!" icon when you need it?

Paul Murphy

Yes, I was trying to find warmer than hell. 

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?

jason

Break Like The Wind... 

Happy

.....is actually quite a good album.

The Tap are always welcome.

Mike

Just to point out 

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 :-)

Simon Brown

happy days 

Paris Hilton

excellent news

Paris Hilton - it's a hotel and you don't have an icon for Edgewater Inn or mudsharks ;)

jake

Eleven. Gawd/ess. How old. 

Pardon me while I shake my head at the lack of originality.

blackworx

Oh ffs 

Flame

Comments page reads exactly as expected :roll:

pctechxp

And how long will the album version be 

Joke

11 minutes of course.

Dave

Just one word... 

Dead Vulture

SHIT SANDWICH

Ponder Stebbins

no comment to make 

Paris Hilton

I just like to be first to mention "Lick my Love Pump" and use a PH icon

Kane

Yes, but..... 

Coat

...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.
