  • Who's the real Spinal Tap Band

    I mean the band most likely who they copied when they created Spinal Tap, my guess is Iron Maiden
    I say the boy ain't right!

    They're roughly modeled after Iron Maiden, Saxon, Judas Priest, Status Quo, and The Who (exploding drummer).
    I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

      I thought the Stonehenge thing was a pisstake on Black Sabbath set they toured with years ago?

        Ten Years After had an LP "Stonehenge". I know no one cares, but they are my most favorite band.
        I am a true ass set to this board.

          The people who made Spinal Tap accompanied Saxon on one of their UK tours before making the film.

            +1 - that would be Rob Reiner, aka Meathead. Having met Biff and the boys, it does not surprise me...

                Like someone else said, the stonehenge thing was a take off of Sabbaths stonehenge set which was too big to fit into some venues.

                      Saw Kiss on the first or second reunion tour. Gene got stuck as they lowered him during God of Thunder and a roadie had to come out and put a box underneath his feet. In the same show, Paul got stuck on the cable that takes him to the satellite stage and Gene had to do most of the vocals while Paul was stranded. Didn't matter though cuz seeing the original lineup in full gear rocked.
