Spinal Tap

Spinal Tap Official Licensed Merch

This Is Spinal Tap is a 1984 mockumentary film directed by Rob Reiner. It follows the fictional British heavy metal band Spinal Tap on a disastrous U.S. tour. The movie parodies rock documentaries, showing the group’s exaggerated egos, creative struggles, and declining popularity. It stars Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer as band members, with improvised dialogue and a realistic documentary style.

The fictional band Spinal Tap became a real performing act! The actors—Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer—released albums such as This Is Spinal Tap (1984) and Break Like the Wind (1992), and performed live concerts. They occasionally reunited for appearances, including charity events and anniversaries of the film.
