Christopher Haden-Guest, 5th Baron Haden-Guest (born February 5, 1948), simply known as Christopher Guest, is an English-American screenwriter, composer, musician, director, actor, and comedian who holds dual British and American citizenship.
 Guest is most widely known in Hollywood for having written, directed and starred in his series of comedy films shot in mock-documentary (mockumentary) style.
 Many scenes and character backgrounds in Guest's films are written and directed, although actors have no rehearsal time and the ensemble improvise scenes while filming them.
 The series of films began with "This Is Spinal Tap" (directed by Rob Reiner), and continued with "Waiting for Guffman", "Best In Show", "A Mighty Wind", "For Your Consideration", and "Mascots".
Spinal Tap (stylized as Spın̈al Tap, with a dotless letter "i" and a metal umlaut over the "n") is a parody band spoofing the style of rock heavy metal groups.
 The band first appeared on a 1979 ABC TV sketch comedy pilot called "The T.V. Show", starring Rob Reiner.
 The sketch, actually a mock promotional video for the song "Rock and Roll Nightmare", was written by Reiner and the band, and included songwriter/performer Loudon Wainwright III on keyboards.
 Later the band became the fictional subject of the 1984 rockumentary/mockumentary film "This Is Spinal Tap".
 The band members are portrayed by Michael McKean (as David St. Hubbins), Christopher Guest (as Nigel Tufnel) and Harry Shearer (as Derek Smalls).

 His work includes hit comedies and mockumentaries such as "This is Spinal Tap", "Best in Show" and "When Harry Met Sally" as well as classic dramas such as "Stand by Me" and the Stephen King thriller, "Misery", which garnered actress Kathy Bates a "Best Actress" Oscar.

 Actors Paul Shaffer, Fred Willard, Fran Drescher, Bruno Kirby, Howard Hesseman, Ed Begley, Jr., Patrick Macnee, Anjelica Huston, Vicki Blue, Dana Carvey, Billy Crystal and Linnea Quigley all play supporting roles or make cameo appearances in the movie.

Spontaneous Combustion is an album by progressive metal group Liquid Trio Experiment, and is the result of the studio improvisations of Liquid Tension Experiment which occurred while John Petrucci was with his wife while she was giving birth.
 The trio of Mike Portnoy, Tony Levin and Jordan Rudess continued to write music during this period.
 It was released on October 23, 2007.
 A few songs from "Liquid Tension Experiment 2" were spawned from these jam sessions including "914", "Chewbacca", and "Liquid Dreams".
 The song "Chris & Kevin's Bogus Journey" is not a reference to Portnoy and Petrucci's former Dream Theater bandmates Chris Collins and Kevin Moore, but rather to the track on Liquid Tension Experiment's first album entitled "Chris & Kevin's Excellent Adventure", which is itself a reference to the band's photographer's habit of calling Mike Portnoy and Tony Levin "Chris and Kevin", even after being corrected several times.
 It is also a reference to the 1991 film "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey", the sequel to "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure".
 The song "Jazz Odyssey" is a reference to the movie "This Is Spinal Tap", in which Spinal Tap experiments with an improvisational song of the same name.

 In the film, he is the lead guitarist of the rock band Spinal Tap.
