Spinal Tap

11/11/11 may be the most rockin' date ever -- at least according to Spinal Tap, the legendary British metal trio who famously turned their amps up to 11 and blew away fans (not to mention several unlucky drummers) in their classic 1984 mockumentary 'This Is Spinal Tap.'

 

In 2009, David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel and Derek Smalls rose from the ashes to rock again, and their world reunion tour brought them to the Billboard studio for a candid, hilarious sit-down. Crank your computer up 11 clicks and watch the Tap discuss their favorite memories from the road, the last episode of 'Lost,' the decline of the music industry and ... bowling balls.
