    This Is Spinal Tap is one of the best films of all time, and I'd watch it ahead of any 'straight' rock 'n' roll films every time.

    Errrly rock n roll yes, I was tempted to pick Girl Can't Help it and Blackboard Jungle, possibly Jailhouse Rock, but they didn't make my top 10. Well, actually mine goes up to eleven. That didn't make it either. :p

    What more can I say? - he was brilliant; he looks more menacing now than he did in the 70s, and his guitar style is still both unique and amazing (a left-hander playing a right-handed Telecaster like a machine gun). And yes, I did get the ticket at a reasonable price, face value of £17.50 from the venue. Could have sold it on ebay for £100, but no way was I going to do that.

    Thanks for the memories Wilko, I'll miss you when you leave us. :eek:
