THIS IS SPINAL TAP SOUNDTRACK SERIES
With Ian reinstalled as manager, Spinal Tap performs a series of sold-out shows in Japan, despite the loss of drummer Mick, who explodes onstage. As the band performs, David invites Nigel onstage, reuniting them, which excites everyone but Jeanine. Before they go on stage, Nigel arrives to tell them that their song "Sex Farm" has become a major hit in Japan, and that Ian wants to arrange a tour there. At their next gig, in an amphitheater at an amusement park, the band finds their repertoire is severely limited without Nigel, and improvise an experimental "Jazz Odyssey", which is poorly received.Īt the last show of the tour, David and Derek consider exploring old side projects, such as a musical theatre production about Jack the Ripper. At a gig at a United States Air Force base, Nigel is upset by an equipment malfunction and quits mid-performance. Nigel is marginalized by Jeanine and David. The tour continues, rescheduled into smaller and smaller venues. The group blames Ian, and when David suggests Jeanine should co-manage the group, Ian quits. However, Nigel, rushing a sketch on a napkin, mislabels its dimensions the resulting prop is only 18 inches high rather than 18 feet, making the group a laughing stock. Nigel suggests staging a lavish show, and asks Ian to order a Stonehenge megalith. Despite their manager convincing the band that it would have a similar appeal to the White Album, the album fails to draw crowds to autograph sessions with the band. The band's distributor opts to release Smell the Glove with an entirely black cover without consulting the band. David's girlfriend Jeanine, a manipulative yoga and astrology devotee, joins the group on tour and participates in band meetings, influencing their costumes and stage presentation. Tensions arise between the band and their manager Ian Faith. Several of the band's tour shows are canceled because of low ticket sales, and major retailers refuse to sell Smell the Glove because of its sexist cover art. Nigel's amplifier dials that go up to eleven this scene is the origin of the term up to eleven. At one point, Nigel shows Marty a custom-made amplifier that has volume knobs that go up to eleven, believing this would make their output louder. Segments of Marty's film show David and Nigel to be competent but dimwitted and immature musicians. Several of their previous drummers died in strange circumstances: spontaneous human combustion (Peter James Bond), a "bizarre gardening accident" (John "Stumpy" Pepys), and choking on vomit (Eric "Stumpy Joe" Childs - "someone else's vomit"). They had a hit as the Thamesmen with their single "Gimme Some Money", before changing their name to Spinal Tap and achieving a minor hit with the flower power anthem "Listen to the Flower People", and finally transitioning to heavy metal. They were known as the Originals until they found out another band had that name so they changed their name to the New Originals. Hubbins and Nigel Tufnel on vocals and guitar, bassist Derek Smalls, keyboardist Viv Savage, and drummer Mick Shrimpton. The band comprises childhood friends David St.
Filmmaker Martin "Marty" Di Bergi is creating a documentary that follows the English rock group Spinal Tap on their 1982 United States concert tour to promote their new album Smell the Glove.
