3. Every song needs a bassline, some chords and a melody.

ok, maybe 4 or 5 even. I've recorded some songs just for fun with 5 bass tracks. Very soft and smooth sounding.

The best thing about Spinal Tap is how many don't get the spoof of it. It's almost too close for comfort.

I just watched "Bitch School". It just struck me that the drummer looks a lot like Neil Peart, complete with silly cap.

I think the dancers were more to match the 'big bottom' song.

Although I'd call those bottoms more 'curvy' than 'big'.

So, did all the bassists need amps that went to '11'?

Did they all get lost backstage?

I was bitterly disappointed the drummer didn't explode or choak on someone else's vomit.

And did they have enough bass amps for the, how many were there? basses? You can imagine the backstage crew for that song!!
