Spinal Tap - Mockumentary Stars Are "Back From The Dead"




During this 25th anniversary of the film and album This is Spinal Tap, the band has reunited to set the record straight, once and for all. What a stupendous relief for the countless fans who empathized with Tap's well-documented fall from grace and money. All of the original album has been re-recorded, along with much anticipated never-released material for a total of 19 tracks. The release, out June 16, also includes a one-hour DVD and a pop-up diorama package that unveils three 12-inch action figures of the band and a proportionally sized Stonehenge.

Tracking for Back From the Dead took place at The Village in L.A. with engineer Ed Cherney and longtime Tap collaborator CJ Vanston producing. Guest artists include Phil Collen of Def Leppard, John Mayer, Keith Emerson and Steve Vai.

For the recording of this project, they enlisted a "ringer".


How do you get the group's massive drum sound?

We have a maswsive drummer, Skippy Skuffleton [aka Greg Bissonette]. We really tried to fatten him up for this record. He lives in a motor home that he parks outside the studio, and we send Mexican food out to him at regimented intervals. Of course, it takes a special engineer to capture the sheer violence when Skippy is trying to finish the track to make a run for the loo. That would be Ed Cherney, the only guy Skippy will let closer that 10 feet to his drums.
