So I just discovered this new band . . . Hammers of Misfortune!

[JayKeeley]

I say you can't beat the main riff of Aqualung, because well, you can't!

Did Spinal Tap rip it off on their first album (from the movie)? I'm sure they did -- I think on "Sex Farm" perhaps? It's strange because each time I hear the Aqualung riff, all I can think of is Spinal Tap and I'd like to know why. I don't have the ST album anymore so I can't even check!

All roads lead to the Tap somehow.

 

[NAD]

Don't know! I don't have Spinal Tap either. They're more of a right of passage than daily listening material anyway.

 

[JayKeeley]

I have the DVD. Will check it out one of these months. (Apparently, a highlight of the DVD is the commentary where the three of them are doing the whole thing in character, and I've yet to hear it...).

For years, I never knew they were Americans. The fake accents are probably the best I've ever heard, seriously. They're such good actors -- I even laugh at their folk trio in A Mighty Wind.

 

[NAD]

Haha that's funny. You do know that Harry Shearer does like 10 voices on the Simpsons right? I love him, and not just because he played bass for the Tap.

 

[JayKeeley]

Excellent, Smithers.

I must get season 4 on DVD. If there is any season worth owning, it's season 4.

 

[NAD]

Yeah Season 4 is easily the best. Well, 4, 5, & 6 really. If memory serves. They even had the ever so slightly psychotic eye thing and looking down camera angle bit that really makes it grand(er).

 

[Krilons Resa]

Ya, that's definitely some type of flute. There are MANY instances on the album that send me into orbit. It's like a continuous creamage of pantage.

I'll list em later tonight. wooppp
