U2 vs. Spinal Tap

[LMP]

It's fellow UK rockers Spinal Tap against U2, who'd win?

Nigel Tufnel
David St. Hubbins
Derek Smalls
and current drummer: Joe "Mama" Besser

Think about this one for a second, for now I'd pick U2 because they have The Edge, and you never get into a fight with a man who's job involves intense hand-eye coordination

(i hope this thread isn't overkill )

Stonehenge!!

It is overkill. Times three.

you cant beat a mirroball lemon wrecking in the middle of the tour

It is overkill. Times three.

No times eleven. Or how many units there are on the volume knob.

noel gallagher of Oasis actually thought Spinal Tap were a real band.

Although played by actors, the members of Spinal Tap did play their instruments, and did write their own songs.
So I'd say they're more of a band than...oh, let's say the Backstreet Boys.

I enjoyed that. Thank you!

U2 would win because Spinal Tap's drummer would die in a freak accident, leaving them outnumbered 3-4.

 

[Popmartijn]

I enjoyed that. Thank you!

You're welcome.

U2 has Larry, and Larry doesn't age, which makes him somewhat inhuman, which might just make him immortal, which means he won't die unexpectedly which I think makes U2 a bit better than Spinal Tap.

But Spinal Tap has the pods that tend to break down as well.

Spinal Tap can take it to 11



But, as we've learned with Vertigo, U2 goes to 14!

And they have a song written in the saddest of all keys - D minor.

How can U2 compete with that?

 

[corianderstem]

It's got a bit of Mozart and a bit of Bach ... it's a Mach piece.

Who would win? The first band to release Saucy Jack.

Joe 'Mama' Besser is not the current drummer of spinal tap. Mick Shrimpton's twin brother Rick played with the band during their tour in 1992 and movie 'The Return of Spinal Tap'. Besser is said to have '...either gone back to the world of jazz or died.'

I meant 1982-1984 Spinal Tap in their washed-up Marty DiBergi docu-glory
