RIP Ric Parnell, aka Mick Shrimpton -- the drum solo bit in this remains a top five moment in this film for me.

Anyone who worked in a record store in the 80s will instantly recognize the absolutely spot on performance of Paul Shaffer as Artie Fufkin.

SEQUEL!

The sequel will be in the style of Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Waltz,” the legendary concert documentary that followed the farewell tour of the Canadian American rock group The Band. “Spinal Tap 2” will also feature real-life musicians in the film. No names have been revealed yet, but it will likely depend on the artists’ touring schedules.
Bono? Boaby?

"The Last Waltz" ripe for parody + Christopher Guest's wonderful tried-and-true lead-up to a big show at the end gives me hope for it.

The tour video they released after the 1992 shows already was a sequel, really, thanks to the various interstitial/where are they now bits.
