Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and... Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten? Nigel Tufnel: Exactly. Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder? Nigel Tufnel: 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? Marty DiBergi: I don't know. Nigel Tufnel : Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven. Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder. Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

That up to 11 is the funnist scene  , however the best gag is Tufnel using the violin as a violin bow to imitate Jimmy Page.  ------------- 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 |

There were many funny scenes, including the ones listed above, but my favourite scene was Stonehenge. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

| Went with the whole Stonehenge bit. Liked the whole "Smell the Glove" --> Black Album things. From Bobbi asking why didn't find a naked, greased woman on all fours with a glove shoved in her face sexist ... to Its like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none none more black. |

I like the strategically placed cold sores that appear intermittently on each band member's lips. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Classic Reiner ! As much as the Stonehenge bit is a little funny, I have to go with Derek Smalls getting trapped in the cocoon. And here's why... I saw ELPowell at Massey Hall in Toronto back in the '86. They had the stage surrounded by a black curtain so you couldn't see the instruments. The lights dimmed, the the opening drone of The Score can be heard then boom the songs starts and the light come on...but damn...the curtain is still up. Now I can hear the band playing but we ain't seein' nothin'. Finally after about 30-45 seconds the curtain drops and the band is in plain view. My first observation...Greg looking over at Keith with a slightly bowed head just giving it a little shake. Such a perfect Spinal Tap moment. They responded by putting on a great show. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

Such a great movie!! Spinal Tap Part II, out in 2024! Hard to pick a favorite scene. Here is my choice, for today, with Billy Crystal and Dana Carvey. |

The post-Stonehenge band meeting where their manager resigns after refusing to co-manage the band with the lead singer's girlfriend who "dresses like an Australian's nightmare." After he walks out Derek Smalls asks if they're going to play Stonehenge that night, to which the lead singer replies with exasperation: "Nah we're not gonna fakkin' do Stone 'enge!" Always makes me laugh, and impressive mastery of dumb English swearing. ------------- "And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!" "He's up the pub" |

At the age of 16, me and my mate found 'Lick My Love Pump' beyond hilarious, so I've voted for it.. but for some reason, I always found Spinal Tap II in the band stand with the tambourines and no audience, toe-curlingly funny. ------------- 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 |

Their discussions about their future options ("jazz" and "we shan't work together again"), or their derogatory discussion about their disdain for Jeanine and her influence over David--while she's present! "Hello, Cleveland!" Derek's pipe. Nigel's Jeff Beck look. Billy Crystal's "Mime is money." and SO MANY others!! ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

It will be interesting to see what they do in the upcoming sequel. Will it have the any of the now-classic bits like Stonehenge or Turn it up to Eleven? http://www.nme.com/features/film-interviews/this-is-spinal-tap-2-preview-rob-reiner-sequel-3234361" rel="nofollow - http://www.nme.com/features/film-interviews/this-is-spinal-tap-2-preview-rob-reiner-sequel-3234361 BTW, does anyone hate the way PA requires you to use a drop down menu to select "http://" or "https:''/ when it's already part of every hyperlink you copy from the address bar? They should add an option of "" (i.e. null) and make it the default. |
