I know it's Pitchfork, but I love that they gave Music from the Elder a score of 0.0 ... :mrgreen:

Yes, This Is Spinal Tap is a very good movie.

Oof. The falsetto vocal with the double bass drum underneath is a...choice. Some of the riffs are okay? This is not good.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I'm regularly baffled by why celebrities should wade outside their area of expertise—amusing us for money—into rather difficult social questions. Unless you have first-hand experience, you have nothing to offer, especially someone with the gravitas of an elevator fart.

This isn't turning into the celebration of KISS I hoped it would be.

But it is the celebration they deserve.

Your revenge is that KISS has somehow actually gotten worse over time?
