BTW: Haters en andere betweters, ga ff ergens anders trollenWelkom bij het eerste topic van Spinal Tap, waarin we maar snel de 11 mogen bereiken, waarom 11?, omdat 11 centraal staat bij alles wat Spinal Tap was, is, en zal zijn!
Bit of History
The band’s origins can be traced back to 1964 in England, when childhood friends St. Hubbins and Tufnel began to play music together. The Originals turned into the Thamesmen before the duo settled on the name Spinal Tap in 1967, and during this period the group explored typical Merseybeat and psychedelic styles popular in England at the time.
Spinal Tap Goes Hard Rock… and Perseveres:
For Spinal Tap the ‘70s were characterized by a harder-rocking style, a consistent succession of album releases, and a series of bizarre deaths afflicting the band’s rotating cast of drummers. Through it all, the band’s three core members stayed constant, changing with the times to play mystical or juvenile heavy metal, depending upon the song. As the ‘80s began, Spinal Tap’s appeal in the lucrative American market had become questionable, especially around the 1982 release of the band’s Smell the Glove album.
After a decade of relative silence (other than the continuing popularity of the 1984 film on video), Spinal Tap finally released its long-awaited second album, Break Like the Wind (Compare Prices), in 1992. The group’s three core members embarked on a tour to support the album, even releasing a live video of some of these performances the next year. Since then, group members have made occasional appearances on TV and gone out on brief tours, and in 2007 a short film surfaced that announced a reformation of Tap to fight global warming. A related concert in London is set for July 7.

Als een belasting op tabak het roken zou moeten terugbrengen, en een belasting op benzine het verbruik op brandstof zou moeten terugbrengen.
Wat denk je dan dat een belasting op inkomen zou moeten doen?
