    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Some events in the band's history were inspired by actual events involving real-life bands: Brian Lovell's (Bruce Robinson's) absence from the band resembled Syd Barrett's departure from Pink Floyd due to a drug-induced nervous breakdown; David "Beano" Baggot's (Timothy Spall's) tardiness for a gig echoes that of Keith Moon, the notoriously erratic drummer for The Who. The character of Ray Simms (Bill Nighy) appears to have been inspired in some part by David Lee Roth, famed front-man for Van Halen. Other bands, such as Deep Purple, have undergone line-up changes with various degrees of infighting and success.
    • Goofs
      After the disastrous Dutch concert where Ray goes missing, the rest of the group drinks a beer at the bar. Hughie is drinking Grolsch, while the rest appears to be drinking Brouwers Bier. The latter is an "economy" supermarket label, and extremely unlikely to be served in normal Dutch establishments.
    • Quotes

      Ray Simms: I can see you Brian, so clearly, do you have a message?

      Brian Lovell: Got a gig on Saturday man.

      Ray Simms: Wha-what?

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the credits, voices are heard of members of Strange Fruit playing the Bands-with-body-parts-in-their-name game.

    A fantastic film.
    This is perhaps the best rockumentary ever- a British, better This Is Spinal Tap. The characters are believable, the plot is great, and you can genuinely empathise with some of the events- such as Ray's problem with fitting in the band.

    The soundtrack is excellent. Real period stuff, even if it is in the same key, you'll be humming some of the songs for days. What I liked was the nearly all-British cast, with some of the favourite household names. Ray's wife is priceless...

    The film never drags, it just goes at the right pace, and has some genuinely funny sections in it. A generator of some really good catchphrases!

    It's a hidden diamond.
