The eternal question about Spinal Tap is, how more, great can they be… and the answer is…none…none, more great…

This entire video is less than truthful. The topic changes constantly without any lead-ins or explanation of what they are talking about. It’s edited to seem one way when that makes no sense at all.
But the creator has Clickbaited by including Paul McCartney’s name in the title AND in the Thumbnail Pic, has his picture next to a 🗯️ saying “I thought he was a bit bossy”.
If you can even get through the video without getting a headache (because the editing is so bad that none of it makes any sense at all), you will discover that it is edited for the viewer to “assume” what is implied. There’s no proof that what is being implied is actually what is fact…INCLUDING PAUL MCCARTNEY. His name is never even mentioned in this bogus video. Except in the text added to the video. The same thing was done with the names of Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. If one of the people talking had actually said these names, why not include that portion?
Another text added was them talking about Ozzy.
The Alamo incident: “I’m more or less an American now (I really hope not) so I see things through the prism (what?) of the U.S. (no possible way unless a person is truly an American). “ He continues “So I’ve got to say taking a leak on (it’s at, not on 🙄) Alamo had to be my favorite Ozzy moment.”
WTF does he mean? If he wants to pretend that he’s more or less an American, he would not consider that any favorite moment of anyone!!
DAY-O?? If this video had begun with that part, we all could have saved our time by actually watching the rest of it. That would have given us all we needed to know about the video and any truth or logic of it.
These people were either edited to seem very stupid or they were very stupid. Either way, if it were me I would be extremely embarrassed.
As a viewer, I’m pissed for being lied to by the creator(s) and will be blocking the channel after reporting it to YouTube.

McCartney is arrogant, and "bossy", and pushes his own personal agenda on people. That's one of the reasons why Ringo had quit the band (during the White Album) and had to be talked back, and then George Harrison also quit and walked out (during the "Let It Be" / "Get Back" sessions) , and then had to be talked back. And Ringo and George are about the easiest personalities to work with.

The bit about Paul Mc should have being…we go back along time but we had a song issue…I whistle him, and he came out with yesterday…and he never gave me credit,….Did you have him the melody? No I just whistle a cab, and he was close by, but my wistle is unique…😂

Okay that is really clever they're commenting on the movie as if it's just like the movie as weird as that sounds lol

LOLOLOLOL
@JTM78143 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
No joke, if they do not make it intothe rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame it would be a tragedy. They play real music if remember correctly, regardless put them in, they changed too much and all musicians love them.
@Madisonrvr On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
I am just loving that Elton John and Paul McCartney are joining in on the fun.
@AfterGlow_Video On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
One joke taken to its absolute extreme
@dennisichikawa8055 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Great respect for Michael McKean being able to play both Chuck McGill and David St. Hubbins!
@6789uiop On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
I used to read Billboard in the 70's. Thank you.
@martineldritch On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Anyone else here in 2025 sitting around listening to these two legends not thinking together ?
@martineldritch On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
I could sit around listening to these two not thinking together all day !
@bucksdiaryfan On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Are they doing Manchester accents?
@markhoffman2237 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Without Spinal Tap, there would've been no Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Vincent, Lonnie Donegan, or the Shadows, not to mention Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Big Walter, Sonny Boys 1 and 2, and B.B. King. They were so influential that they birthed their predecessors. That's a rare or at least medium-rare talent.
@mikeoyler2983 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
These guys are wearing some pretty nice shoes. I wonder if Nigel ever pursued that career in shoe sales.
@SingularlyNaked On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Once again, a master class in “yes, and"
@melodydances On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Such a fun film.
@joeschmoe1794 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
“decent songwriter” 😅
@raecoyote On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Can’t wait to see it 😂
@lucibjlb On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
OMG. This is hilarious! I'm hooked.
@jackkerrigan914 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
So bad

@petesmith9472 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
They’re so funny. Probably the only Americans who have nailed British comedy culture
@KurtI2525 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
They used to be hilarious and cool.
@tsicby On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
I guess Rob Reiner needed the money so he dug up this old fossil.
@david_a_uno On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
For the record, we've never seen Ozzie and Belafonte in a room at the same time, so it raises a few questions.
@PCJ52 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
"Spinal Tap" can refer to either a 1984 mockumentary film, This Is Spinal Tap, about a fictional heavy metal band, or the fictional band itself.
@GreenChile-v5m On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
David St Hubbins is going – mum on the topic.
@LedStanger On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Loved the movie! You truly felt the emotions of these blokes getting back together after 15yrs. And Derek hooking up with Jeanine, what a shocker!
@m6smitten On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
"Hello Cleveland!"
@jagger9031 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Spinal Tap 2 had some great moments…but a short movie…1 hr 20 minutes.
@njgbz On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Nothing on earth could've made me laugh harder than this today LOVE THESE GUYS 🩵💙
@pi-sx3mb On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
I have to say, this movie shocked me to my core.
Paul McCartney was pretty pushy. Who does that guy think he is anyway?
Fortunately they didn't let him near the amps – Tap is still England's loudest band.
BTW, a huge shoutout to Stormy Daniels for making the whole thing possible.
@lewistaylor1965 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Took me a couple minutes to realise they were still in character…
@thetruthchannel349 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
actually its always one of the viola players that get lost or can't play in time or have major intonation issues. Always a Viola player.
@Gibbo1 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Bad News is better
@LeonFelixRusso On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Geez, I thought Harry Belafonte WAS Ozzy Osbourne.
@shouldhavedonebetter On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
I wonder if McCartney learned a thing or two about songwriting from David or Nigel.
@juliostube On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
It must be some sort of inside joke that these guys are so full of themselves, even a surprise visit from somebody as legendary as Paul McCartney can't get them to stop fighting in the studio. I can't stop laughing.
@rinohunter6190 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
I love these guys
@ericwobschall8410 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Not that I want to say anything serious at this moment, but I was first exposed to Spinal Tap when my friends were in a regional hotel lounge band in the early 80s (and no they weren't called Two Jacks and a Jill). That band watched VHS tapes of Spinal Tap along with Purple Rain every night after their show. On an unrelated note, Night Ranger, who were playing nearby in West Virginia popped into the lounge one night, They were lovely.
@sebastianmaharg On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
Funniest promo interview so far.
@dirtworshiper2800 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
These guys make me piss myself. Fricking hilarious.
@thomasrichmond2413 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
It was funny once
@bowowski936 On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
This interview is so funny!!!! 🙂
@ARIZJOE On November 3, 2025 at 3:54 am
I've met some rock stars. These guys are way closer to the truth than you dare imagine. When I see Spinal Tap, I say to myself, "Why did you go to so many relatively stupid concerts?"
