5. Uhh...seven and a quarter....

:hi:

[Cabcere]

46. Yes, I think we have that...

...you know, that sort of thing, I think I could do that.

[yardwork]

51. ...do you wear black?

[Cabcere]

68. See, that sort of thing I think I could...muster up.

(Do you think you'd be happy doing that sort of thing?)

Well, I don't know...wh-what are the hours?

:hi:

[Cabcere]

3. Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation...

;)

[quip]

7. No, we shan’t work together again.

:hi:

[PVnRT]

6. That's quite beautiful, what do you call it?

95. I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and this is sort of in between...

...sort of like a Mach piece, you know...

:hi:

[Blue-Jay]

8. Two words: Amplifier Capo.

[quip]

14. Now that's from the follow up film IIRC

I need to find that on DVD...

15. It is!

The Return of Spinal Tap is a rare gem.

18. Hey, I just used that pic a while ago....

:hi:

[IntravenousDemilo]

9. You gotta know that I do! I just wanna make some eardrums bleed!

Know what I'd like to see? Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, and Christopher Guest together on one episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! McKean and Shearer have both been on in separate games and done well, and I have to assume that Christopher Guest would be just as strong.

It would be even better if they were to do it in costume.

[quip]

13. It would be a riot and BTW

Hearty congratulations on your impressive victories! Good Luck! :hi:

PS Do you pay royalties to Tap for the ID? ;-)

[IntravenousDemilo]

25. Thank you.

I hope you'll be watching the rest of the tournament.

Nope, no royalties, thank goodness. After all the times I've used this handle, I'd be seriously in hock to them. :D

[quip]

26. LOL

I will be sending you all of the positive vibes I can muster, Doug! :thumbsup:

[FloridaJudy]

10. The official explantion is

...he choked on vomit. But they can't prove whose vomit it was.

[Blue-Jay]

11. You can't dust for vomit.

[FloridaJudy]

19. Whoa! That post went to ELEVEN! n/t

[GCP]

12. Boston - not a big college town

[Cabcere]

41. That turned out to be a lie.

(from the DVD commentary)

Another one of my favorite moments from the commentary:

"You know, if she hadn't been a cheat, a liar, and a bitch, she would've been a nice woman." (talking about Bobbi Flekman)

[Critters2]

63. I was in grad school in Boston when I saw the film.

And I can attest to this being true. Really, not much of a college town at all.

[quip]

64. More of a bean town

:hi:

[Critters2]

62. There's a fine line between stupid

and clever.

[quip]

17. If I told them once, I told them a hundred times: put “Spinal Tap” first and “Puppet show” last

God I love that one! :applause:

[Cabcere]

42. We've got the bigger dressing room, though.

:hi:

[Tikki]

20. The numbers all go to eleven.

Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven. Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten.



Tikki

[quip]

21. Why don’t you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

[Tikki]

22. What we do is.....

if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Eleven. Exactly. One louder.


Tikki

[quip]

23. You’re on ten on your guitar...where can you go from there? Where?

[Aristus]

40. *chews gum, carefully thinking it through*

This one goes to eleven!

[gmoney]

93. "But this goes to 11" (n/t)

[Beaverhausen]

24. Not Sexy. Sexist

[quip]

27. Ian, you put a greased naked woman...

on all fours... .with a dog collar around her neck... and a leash... and a man’s arm extended out up to here holding onto the leash and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don’t find that offensive? You don’t find that sexist?

[Cabcere]

43. No, I don't.

C'mon, Bobbi, this is 1982!

[quip]

53. Well you should have seen the cover they wanted

to do. It wasn’t a glove believe me.

[Cabcere]

69. I love that line

One of Ian's best, IMO. :rofl: :hi:

[Beaverhausen]

28. Fuck the napkin!

[quip]

32. I do not, for one, think that the problem

was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been... that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

[Cabcere]

45. I think you're just making way too big a thing out of this.

Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea.

:rofl: I love Derek Smalls.

[quip]

56. His best line:

The two totally distinct types of visionaries, it’s like fire and ice, basically, you see, and I feel my role in the band, is to
be kind of in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water, in a sense.

:rofl:

[Cabcere]

67. That and the "preserved moose" bit - priceless!

:rofl: :hi:

[quip]

71. Yes, I thought of that one after I posted

His double-necked bass is beyond hilarious (since the entire band plays bass on Big Bottom)

[Cabcere]

75. I know! It's awesome.

:D :rofl: I guess that's his way of taking it up to eleven. :hi:

[darkstar]

52. That tended to understate its massiveness

Maybe we can just change the choreography so the dwarves won't trod upon it.

:rofl:

[quip]

57. Now, whether he knows the difference

between feet and inches is not my problem. I do what I’m told.

[Cabcere]

72. But you're not as confused as him, are you?

It's not your job to be as confused as Nigel is.

[quip]

80. So it became a comedy number.

[Cabcere]

82. Yes it did...

...yes, it fucking well did! And it was not pleasant to be part of that comedy number on stage - perhaps backstage it was very amusing.

[quip]

84. Maybe we just fix the choreography. Keep the dwarf clear.

"keep the dwarf clear"???? Are you kidding me?? :rofl:

[Cabcere]

86. I don't think that's the issue here.

:rofl: Soooooo classic! :hi:

Edited to add: Along with "Can I raise a practical question?" ("What?") "Are we gonna do Stonehenge tomorrow night?" ("NO, WE'RE NOT GONNA FUCKING DO STONEHENGE!!") :rofl:

[judaspriestess]

30. As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll

[quip]

34. Was that Mick in the bathtub?

[Cabcere]

44. Yes, I do believe it was.

:) :hi:

[darkstar]

31. "We can't perform Jazz Odyssey in front of festival seating"

Oh, but they can friends. I was at Sea World that day. Changed my life.

[quip]

36. Really?

Tell more! :-)

[johnnie]

33. There's a fine line..

..between clever and stupid.

[tigereye]

35. that would be me!

I even have the special version of it with all the outtakes...

:crazy:


I think Christopher Guest is awesome.


oh, uh, he was killed in a gardening accident.... (sic)


BIg Bottom makes me howl every time....

"Talk about mudflaps, my girl's got em... "

[quip]

37. Yes, the deleted scenes go on for literally hours!

Bruno Kirby smoking MJ-- awesome! :hi:

[tigereye]

38. sometimes I can't believe I sit through those...

I have to say, I really like most of Guest's improv films - Best In Show is excellemt, but ST is my favorite.

(was it all improvised like his other films were?)

[quip]

39. Basically yes.

They had a rough sketch of what they would talk about for each scene. Pure gold.

Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind, are terrific. I, for some reason, haven't seen For Your Consideration yet.

Tap was actually directed by Rob Reiner himself; his first movie!

[tigereye]

134. For Your Consderation was very clever, but not as funny, I thought

Guest makes me think of that British director who has his actors improvise most scenes... Mike Leigh. I love his films, too.

I think Altman did some of that, too.

[Cabcere]

92. That was indeed hilarious.

:rofl: "Alllllll the waaaaaaayyyyy..." We used to play that song in jazz band in high school...if I'd seen that then, I never would've been able to get through it without laughing my head off. :D :hi:

[Cabcere]

47. David, every movie in every cinema is about death.

Death sells!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

48. There's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

[Dr. Strange]

49. Crap! I turn my back and temeah starts a Tap thread.

Have a good time all the time.

[quip]

60. Tonite I'm going to rock you tonite

:hi: Plenty of quotations remain!

[Tikki]

50. MARTY: Oh, there actually is, uh...there was a Saint Hubbins?

DAVID: That's right, yes.

MARTY: What was he the saint of?

DAVID: He was the patron saint of quality footwear.....

Wow.

78. I can't see the picture

:(

...but you wouldn't happen to be the guy who's recreated scenes from Spinal Tap in Lego on YouTube, would you? :D Because that is friggin' AWESOME. :hi:

[quip]

87. No, but now you've piqued my interest...

Crap! I wonder why you can't see it. Here is a linkie! :-)

[Cabcere]

89. Yay! Thanks for the link - that is awesome!

:wow: :loveya: You're amazingly talented. :thumbsup:

In return for that, I give you this:

Lego Spinal Tap in action!

I wish I could claim credit for that, but I can't - just stumbled upon it while looking up Spinal Tap vids to get my fix before I actually bought the DVD. ;) Enjoy! :hi:

[quip]

94. Thanks, and thanks

for the links.... that is totally hilarious!

[quip]

77. God that entire interview is GOLD!

Pure Gold! :-)

[bbernardini]

55. I was surprised when Harry Shearer recently admitted on his show that he was a member of Tap...

I don't think I've ever heard Guest or McKean discuss their Tap personas out of character, but in July, Harry Shearer mentioned on his radio show that he had been in London to play with Tap at Live Earth.

[Generic Brad]

66. Big Bottoms

81. The titles alone:

The sun Never Sweats? Rock & Roll Creation? (AND IT WAS GOOOOOOOOOD!)

:rofl: :hi:

[Cabcere]

83. LOL, so true!

:rofl: :hi:

[CreekDog]

73. I only love the DVD version with commentary *on*

"He's dead", etc.

[Cabcere]

76. Haha, yeah

:D It's pretty great, isn't it? They're so snarky! :rofl:

"Oh, there's Ian...it's almost amazing to see him with his hands in his OWN pockets, isn't it?"

:hi:

[Redbear]

85. The last time Tap toured America, they where, uh

booked into 10,000 seat arenas, and 15,000 seat venues,and it seems that now, on the current tour they’re being booked into 1,200 seat arenas, 1,500 seat arenas,
and uh I was just wondering, does this mean uh...the popularity of the group is waning?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no...no, no, not at all. I, I, I just think that the.. uh.. their appeal is becoming more selective.

[quip]

88. LOL I was just going to post that one!

:rofl: :hi:

[Initech]

90. On what day did the Lord create Spinal Tap and couldn't he have rested on that day?

[Cabcere]

91. The review for "Shark Sandwich"

was merely a two-word review that read simply "Shit Sandwich."

"That's not real." "Where'd they print that? You can't print that!" :hi:

[quip]

96. I dedicate this review to DUer Intravenous de Milo....

“This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth rate of this band cannot even be
charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry.”

:hi:

[Dr. Strange]

115. That's just nitpicking, isn't it?

We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.

[quip]

119. That is one of the best lines from one of the best scenes!

Even they can hardly keep straight faces in that scene!

"They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry.” OMG!

:hi:

[Cabcere]

98. I don't want this, I want LARGE bread!

:hi:

[quip]

101. ...so then it’s like this, this doesn’t work because then ...it’s all....

‘cause it hangs out like that?

:-)

[Cabcere]

103. ...and everything has to be folded...

:P

[quip]

105. No, I don’t want to eat... I wouldn’t want to put that in my mouth,

no you’re right, Nigel, you’re right.

:9

[Cabcere]

107. Right, exactly, Exhibit A.

And then here - look, who's in here? No one, and then in here there's a little guy! So you see it's a complete catastrophe...

[quip]

113. "complete catastrophe"

:rofl:

[Cabcere]

99. Don't talk back, mime is money!

(trying to dial this thread up to 100 replies before I go to bed tonight!) :P

[quip]

100. A young Billy Crystal! Classic!

:thumbsup:

[Cabcere]

102. And wasn't a young Dana Carvey in that scene too?

I don't know if he was the waiter that Crystal's character was yelling at, but for some reason I'm thinking he was... :shrug: Ah well. I just probably just shut up, y'know? Don't say nothin'. ;)

[quip]

108. Yes, I think he IS the mime to whom Crystal is speaking....

Gotta go look that up! :P

[Cabcere]

109. Geez, temeah, get with it!

:P You oughtta KNOW these things! ;) :hi: :hug:

121. "Workin' on a sex farm!"

My favorite Tap song.

[Strawman]

122. Did you ever run into a musical group that works out of Kansas City?

They call themselves Four Jacks and a Jill?

They've been at a Ramada Inn there for about 18 months.

So if you're ever in Kansas City and want to hear some good music, you might want to drop by.

[quip]

124. ..and you are Spinal Tarp?

Fred Willard is comedic genius! :hi:

[Dr. Strange]

135. These haircuts wouldn't pass military muster, believe me.

Although I shouldn't talk...my hair's getting a little shaggy too, better not get too close to you, they'll think I'm part of the band.





I am joking, of course.


Hey, temeah, we should make this a monthly thing.
Once a month, we start a Tap thread in the Lounge!

[quip]

143. ONLY once a month????

Yeah, that would be great. How about every full moon? :-) :hi:

[Dr. Strange]

161. I was thinking on the 11th of each month.

But full moons would be okay, if you keep track of that sort of thing!

[quip]

163. NO NO!

This 11th is PERFECT and far more apropos! Good call :-) :hi:

"So does it pay well?"

"I get a stipend."

"Whats that?"

"Well, its when they give you money, but its not enough to actually call it 'money', so they call it a stipend."

[quip]

126. I need to frickin' get a copy of that

155. Walter Becker's Tecnical Note for "Break Like the Wind"

(I worked part time ina studio when this came out; we laughed our asses off and riffed on the Crosely system for months on end.)

http://www.granatino.com/sdresource/20letters.htm

Spinal Tap Technical Notes

Remarkable as this recording may be on the esthetic level, it so happens that "Break Like the Wind" is equally notable for its breakthroughs in the state of the art of modem audio recording techniques. Let me explain.

Firstly, all of the vocals on the current album were recorded and re-mixed with the astonishing Crosley Phase Linear Ionic Induction Voice Processor System. This device was invented and first used by the late Graehham Crosley and was later perfected for studio use by producer Reg Thorpe, who had an aborted go with the Tap lads during one of their early mid-seventies comeback attempts. There were a few bugs in the system at that time ("Like, it wouldn't fucking work. Period." recalls Nigel Tufnel fondly) and so work with it was abandoned. In the intervening years Thorpe has managed to sort out the last remaining kinks in the system and made it available for these sessions. He himself generously offered to make the crucial fine adjustments necessary to eliminate background chatter and allow the awesome fidelity and signal to noise ratio of The System to stand out, as I believe it does, in the final mixes.

Here's how the Crosley device works: when a vocalist sings, a stream of accelerated air particles issue from his vocal chords, out his mouth and out into the room where there is waiting, we hope, the diaphragm of an expensive tube mic. This diaphragm does a passable job of imitating the vibration of the air molecules by twitching in its little suspension, which movements are we hope turned into a low level electrical flux in the tiny wires attached to the diaphragm assembly.

But wait! For there are many problems inherent in a device of this sort, including mechanical resonances in the diaphragm itself, variations in the temperature and humidity of the air in the room, foreign particles issuing from the gaping maw of the vocalist himself (a particular problem for the Tap lads -- corrosive smoke particles and bits of mango pickle from cheap Indian takeaways) and so on, all of which result in reduced fidelity for you, the listener. However, the Crosley device does not care one whit about all of these things, for it measures only the flow of ionic muons (small charged particles with an atomic weight of between 1.699669 x 10 -17 Electron Units and roughly twice that much, give or take a teenie bit here and there) past a negatively charged grid, itself roughly the size of, say, a gnat's cock (to use a comparison to which most of us can relate). The resulting current is used to modulate a constant voltage which is self-referenced to the known inductance of the system itself and to the body capacitance of The Artist. For in order for the system to work, the vocalist must wear on his person a number of small balance plates which will offset the fields created by various inanimate objects on his body at the time of the recording (afterwards he may wear what he likes). In the case of David St. Hubbins for example, after much experimentation the correct voltages were found to be applied to these small balancing plates when attached to his billfold, to his wristwatch (a fake Rolex which he evidently took for the real thing), and to the Raybans that he habitually wore in the studio ("Me lucky shades"). It was also necessary to put a plate in his groin region to offset the charge produced by, of all things, a roll of quarters tucked into his shorts. This combination -- spectacles, testicles, wallet, watch -- seemed to do the trick and soon enough a frighteningly realistic and three dimensional vocal image was suspended in space between the nearfields mounted on the console (Wombat G 7's and Holographe 96/96, respectively).

157. That's classic!

Thanks for sharing it, darkstar :-) :hi:

159. It's a grand thing

When we were doing ad stuff (vs bands) we were always talking "Crosley" this, "negatively charged" that, how good the new Wombats sounded, and asking if perhaps we needed to break out the body capacitance plates.

162. Kick this ass, for a man.

No, seriously - kick my ass offa DU and make me write my two response papers that are due tomorrow. x(

164. I TOTALLY know what you mean!

I am SO bad spending time in the Lounge. God I'll be up tonite working to pay for it! x(

[Cabcere]

165. I know - it's terrible, isn't it?

x( I have a response paper due in a little over two hours, and another one due tomorrow morning at 9:30, and I really should finish them both soon so I can get some sleep before I drive home tomorrow. x( Silly assignments, getting in the way of my loungitude! (Hey, did I just make up a new word? :D Cool!)
