So I just finished watching Spinal Tap...
 
and it made me nostalgic for my old college days. I went to Music Business school at Loyola University New Orleans. In my Music Business Forum, the final at the end of the semester was a "Spinal Final". All we had to do was show up and watch Spinal Tap.

The professor's logic on this was that once we understood the innerworkings of the music business, it became that much funnier.

when spinal tap was screened in california for a bunch of rockers back when it premiered, eddie van halen said he did not laugh one bit, because it was all too painfully true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that always makes me laugh

This sounds incredibly awkward to me. Should it be "it became that much more funny". That doesn't sound right either. Hmm....Come on grammar police, I know you're out there. Help me out here...

Classic movie.

I think I might be IN Spinal Tap.

How many drummers have you had?

Savage Clone 05.07.2009 04:26 PM

Two in this band, but ironically, the drummer in two of my previous bands actually is dead now...

:(

It wasn't by some kind of freak accident was it?

Savage Clone 05.07.2009 04:33 PM

No, it was a heart attack in his sleep. None of us knew he even had a heart problem (even him). It was a big mystery for a couple of months, though...

NaiveMelody 05.07.2009 04:33 PM

That's horrible! I'm sorry.

Savage Clone 05.07.2009 04:36 PM

Thanks. It's been about a year and a half now, I guess. Weird losing a friend so young.
However, I do think he would appreciate my using his drummer-death in a Spinal Tap thread. And I do seriously think my current activities could border on that territory if we don't keep certain elements in check.
And I didn't mean to be Captain Bringdown there, either. Sorry about that.

the only movie I'm in sucks ass. :( at least, I assume it sucks ass, as I refuse to watch it.

and...that's all I'm gonna say on the matter.

Savage Clone 05.07.2009 04:37 PM

I think I might know the movie you are likely to be in.

atsonicpark 05.07.2009 04:38 PM

I'm in a movie. It's called "fracture". It's a doom drone epic art film. Order your copy today at small-doses.com !

floatingslowly 05.07.2009 04:39 PM

^^^ I think you fucking are a movie.

NaiveMelody 05.07.2009 04:40 PM

My mom is in Big Fish. Well, a lot of people from around here are actually, just like The Grass Harp and Fried Green Tomatos. All three were filmed in the area.

And Savagle Clone....do you have a song about big bottoms? Like how you can wear your woman lixe a flesh-tuxedo and how you are going to sink your pink-torpedo?

Savage Clone 05.07.2009 04:44 PM

I don't write "funny" music, but I do wear ridiculous outfits and play pompous space/prog/psych through huge amps. And we have a keyboard player with long grey hair and giant wizard eyebrows (and a keyboard setup on two sides of him, which includes a real Mellotron). And a bassist who is about nine feet tall. And we like fog machines. And lighting.
