   Oh, and the epic stonehenge moment is supposed to be based on an idea
by Black Sabbath, who had a replica built of stonehenge 3 times larger
than the original, they took it to their first show but couldn't even
get it through the doors....

	The 60's psych debut of Spinal Tap and the lenght of their carreer reminds me of Status Quo! The drummer situation reminds me of Judas Priest. The Smell The Glove album Metallica's Black album.
	let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

	Derek Smalls (he of pod fame) went on the road with Saxon to pick up some bass playing hints. AC/DC, St. Hubbins said 'there was an influence one way or another'

	I heard that it was Saxon but I'm sure they took bits from many bands.

	It's funny, but in interviews, many bands have admitted to thinking that the spoof was aimed at them personally.... especially Aerosmith, as Steve Tyler thought a lot of the similarities were so uncanny that he assumed they must have had the inside word from one of their roadies! (Classic Rock interview, about 5 years ago...) In truth, I think most rock bands would like to have thought they were important enough for such an epic to have taken the 'mick' out of them personally!
	Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

	Spinal Tap is a great movie, but which bands were being mocked? I'm sure the fibreglass pods were in memory of the Topographic oceans set, but maybe not. Maybe you know more than i do.
