All the jokes about Heavy metal are right here. Admired by fans of the genre and friends of humour, Spinal tap is the famous film about the most theatrical hard rock. Somewhat idiotic bassists, Stonehenge, Amps to 11, lost in the backstage, Smell the glove... A thousand jokes in leggings, and windswept barnets.

All the jokes about heavy metal are here. There's no need for any Heavy Metal Movie now, we've got them all here. Admired by metal fans (a situation which isn't in the least paradoxical) and friends of humour in general, Spinal Tap is the hilarious quintessential film about theatrical hard rock. An apocryphal story inspired by Saxon (although Iron Maiden believed it was actually about them), Spinal Tap is the piece of reference for all the mocking-rockumentales that came after it. It's so well done, it's something so faithful that folks like Guns'n'Roses admitted that they couldn't see the funny side - it seems too much like real life. No biped life on the planet Earth is complete without having had the pleasure of seeing it. It has it all: venereal infections, A&R asshole fools, delusions of unfounded geniality, totemization of the guitar, somewhat idiotic bassists, Stonehenge, Amps to 11, songs about druids and bitchy chicks, lost in the backstage, tour in Japan, Yoko Ono, Smell the glove... A thousand million belly laughs in Spandex and long hair, which In-Edit Beefeater rescues on the twenty fifth birthday of the film for all rock fans and those who are adept in metallic trends.
