They go up to 11

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2004)

This is the one of the sharpest and funniest satires ever made. I can't understand people who gave it anything less than a 10. There's every rock cliché in here and then some. I think the writers were freakin geniuses. My favorite part is when Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest) is showing off his versatility by playing the piano, and when Marty says that's really pretty, what do you call it, Nigel replies, "Lick my love pump." Harry Shearer is CLASSIC as Derek Smalls. I really enjoy all the cameos of famous people in here as well. I've downloaded some of the songs. It's amazing how the writers actually wrote some heavy metal songs that are better than a lot of crap they play on the radio. These guys are one of the reasons I learned how to play guitar--I learned that music can be loud and fun, too. TAP ROCKS!
