'Spaw,

I can't agree with you on BIS being better than Spinal Tap. Then again, I'm younger than you, I spent my teen years surrounded by "Jimmy Page is God" guys. Guest & crew, absolutely nailed those bands. Nigel Tufnell is one of my all time favourite characters. I just found that there were way more classic lines in Tap. "You can't really dust for vomit", "there's too much dobly", "no, you can't touch it, don't even look at it", "just kick my ass", "of course we have top billing, we're on with a f@#&ing Puppet show", "Hello Cleveland", and of course "this one goes to eleven".

The visuals too, Derek getting stuck in the pod, Nigel on his knees leaning back playing his solo and getting stuck and my absolute favorite, Nigels parody of Jimmy Page's use of a violin bow. Nigel is playing his awful solo, grabs the violin and uses it as a bow on his Strat, then tunes one of the violin strings before doing it again. The first time I saw that seen I almost wet myself laughing.
