Overview
You're about to get personal with one of music history's greatest — and loudest — heavy metal bands...SPINAL TAP!

Whether or not you're a die-hard fan of the group, you'll love this detailed "rockumentary" of England's legendary Spinal Tap. Acclaimed commercial director, Marty DiBergi, also takes you behind-the-scenes for an intimate look at a band whose time has come...and gone...and come again...and... Through interviews, rare footage and lots of music — including classic Tap tunes like "Big Bottom" and "Hell Hole" — you'll get acquainted with David St. Hubbins (lead guitar), Nigel Tufnel (lead guitar), Derek Smalls (lead bass) and every drummer who ever lived — and died — for this renowned rock band.

Be a part of the sights, sounds and smells of this celebrated heavy metal phenomenon. It's an experience you'll never forget.
