After 25 years, Spinal Tap is back! Following on the recent "Unwigged & Unplugged" Tour Spinal Tap has just released a new CD / DVD combo "Back from the Dead." As the title track lyrics boldly proclaim: "Give me reincarnation or give me death!" More apt words were never spoken.
The packages includes 19 songs featuring 6 new tunes as well as re-recorded and re-worked oldies (a funked up version of "Sex Farm", Reggae version of "Listen to the Flower People") that are not only better, they're louder! The album also includes guests artists Keith Emerson, Steve Vai and John Mayer and a pop-up diorama. All this for $10. Honestly, it's a steal.
Rob Reiner's "This is Spinal Tap" remains one of the greatest rock 'n' roll movies ever made. The fact that many incidents in the film were inspired by real bands only makes it funnier. If you like Spinal Tap, pick up "Back from the Dead."
And if you're in London, get ready for Tap's "One Night Only" World Tour to be held at Wembley Stadium June 30. Opening for Spinal Tap will be The Folksmen. Featured below is a video excerpt from the DVD featured on YouTube.
