"Spinal Tap" was Christopher Guest's idea based on an English band he saw checking in to a hotel in 1974.

Is it me or does Michael McKean's character look like the rhythm guitarist in Status Quo ?

[@warrenginmartini]

Nowadays many Marshall amps go to 11 and some even go to 20. Eat your heart out Nigel Tufnel!

Why not make ten louder

[@warrenginmartini]

It's easier to design a knob that goes to 11 or 20 than to make an amp go louder I guess. 🤣

the UK's broadcaster the BBC have their volume on the BBC iplayer go up to 11 a while before niknaks in the Tesla.
