I'm a Brit and I genuinely thought they were English when I first saw the movie. I was taken aback when I discovered they were American a few years later. The accents are so authentic and they don't go for the predictably cheesy 'posh' sounding English accent, but more of a working class London area accent.

He quickly jumped up and tried to keep playing while someone retrieved his seat. It was hilarious and embarrassing simultaneously. It was a true Spinal Tap moment in real life.

@@boataxe4605 I saw a doc about a band called Anvil once and thought it was an homage to ST but it turns out they are a real band. They are like the real life ST. Seriously.

Christopher Guest looks like an absolute treat to be around.

These guys are pure genius ... They are even hilarious out of character ... So much talent!

There's a music store in Stockholm that's named "These Go To 11". :)

I swear I won't bring this up again... Christopher guest is some kind of genius.

This is just hands down one of my favorite movies of all time and was one of the best ideas that came to fruition

Dang, Rob Reiner looks fantastic. All these guys are legends.

I've seen ST at least 20 times, and almost every time I see some little nuance or piece of business I'd missed. One of the 20 funniest films ever made. Thanks, guys!

This and Curb are all I need to make me laugh

Something I wish they had touched on is the DVD commentary for the film. It's so good. Very much like having a sequel within the original film 👌

I was so fortunate to be able to see them live in concert! They were fantastic!

The "Never worked with people before" line is one of the funniest things I have ever heard

One of the most ingenious comedies of all time! Between this, "Waiting for Guffman", "Best in SHow", "A Mighty Wind", all of them are true comedy:-).

it's just cool that all the Tap band sans drummer have been friends for so long that they form like a Monty Python comedy troop and gave us all those great movies.

Seriously important film made by 4 geniuses

As a mockimentary, Spinal Tap is unsurpassed. Brilliant, hysterical, witty, spot on. So many moments, situations, and dialogue that could never have 22:42 been scripted with the perfection of their impromptu performance.

Funniest thing for me is that they were/are all American actors portraying to be English, and they did it superbly!

Didn’t know it was all improvised. Genius!

I got to see Spinal Tap in Wisconsin, they are excellent musicians. The best prop was the oversized Stonehenge that got stuck in the rafters. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.

I saw them in DC. When they played Stonehenge, somebody bought a FedEx envelope on stage and when they opened it there was a hand sized Stonehenge in it. Great show.

Saw them in Orlando in the early 90s. Third row. It was a blast!!!

This Is Spinal Tap IS my favorite comedy. I’m a musician, and I can’t tell you how many times “This one goes to 11” has been quoted in rehearsals and gigs.

I love how the band can turn on American accents and are able to pose as actors for this interview. Pure Genius

Their concert film Spinal Tap Live At Royal Albert Hall is awesome. It show how well these guys can actually play their instruments. They need to be inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

Christopher Guest making fun of those hands at 16:30 just killed me, hahaha

Christopher Guest has never wanted to be anywhere in his life and I love him.

There will never be a better comedy with better improvisers ever.

The years of comedy these men produced on this premise truly was.. One Louder! Thank you for coming together.

you just have to have these guys in a room, no need of scripts they make everything so hilarious.

this conversation reminds me of all the confusion surrounding the film, nobody knew what to think, i was stunned by how many people who thought it was real, the acting was that good, and the fact that it was all ad-libbed gave credence to it being a real movie. despite how many well-known actors were in it, which only confused people even more. this thing flew under the radar in the early years. it took a while for the pubic to catch on.

Thamesmen , criminally underrated. That was a real band.

Just finished spinning "Intravenus de Milo" on my turntable and saw this pop up on the KZread. What a weird coincidence.

Dude! I was listening to Shark Sandwich when this popped up!

As a teenager, I saw Spinal Tap on The "TV Show." My best friend's dad was hip and turned us on to things like that and we LOVED the Spinal Tap Rock and Roll Nightmare bit. I was 17 when the Spinal Tap movie came out and sat behind Cher (somehow) at one of the first (premiere?) showings in L.A.

"in the northeast end of the southeast end." Classic.

"I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day" GOLD

How could I leave this - behind! I actually saw them in concert in Jacksonville, FL! They were amazing live!!

Brilliant team work. Also the other characters in the movie. Tap's manager Ian is just a hilarious stereotype. So well played.

'Nigel' just has to sit there with that face and I'm laughing 😀

Chuck McGill was in a band before he became a lawyer.

Did you ever notice that TWO members of Spinal Tap were in Better Call Saul? Michael McKean and their drummer Ed Begley Jr who played on Gimmie Some Money! Ok technically they were The Thamesmen then...
