Spinal Tap Reunion
May 29, 2007
Looks like Spinal Tap, one of England's loudest bands, from the faux documentary "This is Spinal Tap", will be reuniting for an Live Earth gig taking place July 7 at London's Wembley Stadium. The film defined a new "mockumentary" style that set the tone for The Office, and Christopher Guest's later films Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind and For Your Consideration. Ricky Gervais, from The Office, has been invited to join the band on stage. The original 1984 film is still a hoot and defines some of the best rock and roll moments ever.
Check out the video clip from YouTube for an interview with Spinal Tap by director Marti DeBergi (Rob Reiner) announcing the reunion. Turn it up to 11!
