"Seeing the band get back together after some years of estrangement is heartwarming, and, as in the first film, very funny. In our interview, DeBergi told me why the group was not happy with the first film and Spinal Tap talked about some contemporary musicians they admire, their early influences, and the audience's reaction when they had the folk singing trio The Folksmen for their opening act."
"NIGEL TUFNEL: Well, you've got different cheeses in the States. In the States, I would say you must do cheddar. English cheddar is different than American cheddar, you see. Our cheddar is a white cheese, actually. And Irish cheddar is also white. Americans put the fake coloring in it. But you can't go wrong with a good cheddar. On toast."
Spinal Tap reunites after years of estrangement for a reunion performance in New Orleans, directed by Marty DeBergi. The reunion blends heartfelt moments with the same broad comedy evident in the first film. The group was not happy with the original film. The new film includes auditions to replace lost drummers and highlights band dynamics and consensus decisions. The Folksmen folk trio opened and drew notable audience reactions. Band members pursue eccentric side projects: Derek Smalls runs a glue museum and recommends mucilage, while Nigel Tufnel runs a guitar-and-cheese shop and endorses English-style white cheddar. The band references contemporary musicians and early influences.
