Stonehenge!
It is a magical place
Where the moon doth rise with a dragon's face
Their best song! Actually I've never seen the movie, I thought it first was a band who made a "ploy-movie"

Without evil there could be no good so it must be good to be evil sometimes.

I know some people don't like it because it "makes fun of metal", but I think metal is a bit more solid than that. I mean, some things are ridiculous and you can laugh at it - doesn't mean you have something against the music though. The movie is hilarious.
The music they did was pretty well done actually, meaning they had the sound down and it was professional to a degree. It sounds authentic and very believable and, consequentially, it's a pretty decent listen, at least the first album is.

I know I ain't doing much,
doing nothing means a lot to me.

I sorta objected to some degrees to the movie's theme because they mostly sounded like a washed-up rock and roll band from the 70's and most of the situations they seem to be about refer much more to let's say, Journey or Foreigner than an 80's HM band like the band was supposed to be, and I also had this very weird post-modern effect when I watched it for the first time in how the whole movie was basically narrated to me by friends before on various occasions so I knew all the jokes beforehand. It was like watching a buried memory.
Oh, and Psychotic Waltz - Nothing reference spotted! +10 metal points for me

Love it, best part is the live-performance of STONEHENGE, ahahahah
Some favorite quotes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[David argueing about the Stonehenge "Monument" with Manager Ian]
David St. Hubbins: I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *dwarf*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.
Ian Faith: I really think you're just making much too big a thing out of it.
Derek Smalls: Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Nigel is playing a soft piece on the piano]
Marty DiBergi: It's very pretty.
Nigel Tufnel: Yeah, I've been fooling around with it for a few months.
Marty DiBergi: It's a bit of a departure from what you normally play.
Nigel Tufnel: It's part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I'm working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why.
Marty DiBergi: It's very nice.
Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of...
Marty DiBergi: What do you call this?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David St. Hubbins: Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marty DiBergi: Now, during the Flower People period, who was your drummer?
David St. Hubbins: Stumpy's replacement, Peter James Bond. He also died in mysterious circumstances. We were playing a, uh...
Nigel Tufnel: ...Festival.
David St. Hubbins: Jazz blues festival. Where was that?
Nigel Tufnel: Blues jazz, really.
Derek Smalls: Blues jazz festival. Misnamed.
Nigel Tufnel: It was in the Isle of, uh...
David St. Hubbins: Isle of Lucy. The Isle of Lucy jazz and blues festival.
Nigel Tufnel: And, uh, it was tragic, really. He exploded on stage.
Derek Smalls: Just like that.
David St. Hubbins: He just went up.
Nigel Tufnel: He just was like a flash of green light... And that was it. Nothing was left.
David St. Hubbins: Look at his face.
Nigel Tufnel: Well, there was...
David St. Hubbins: It's true, this really did happen.
Nigel Tufnel: It's true. There was a little green globule on his drum seat.
David St. Hubbins: Like a stain, really.
Nigel Tufnel: It was more of a stain than a globule, actually.
David St. Hubbins: You know, several, you know, dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek Smalls: We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.

[discussing Nigel's Guitar collection]
Nigel Tufnel: Look... still has the old tag on, never even played it.
Marty DiBergi: [points his finger] You've never played...?
Nigel Tufnel: Don't touch it!
Marty DiBergi: We'll I wasn't going to touch it, I was just pointing at it.
Nigel Tufnel: Well... don't point! It can't be played.
Marty DiBergi: Don't point, okay. Can I look at it?
Nigel Tufnel: No. no. That's it, you've seen enough of that one.

We praise the blood that metal brings
I laugh about things related to metal bands all the time, way bands look, cover art, lyrics etc., because I love it, I realise some people could take it the wrong way, but I don't think my love could be more sincere, I live for this shit and spend every penny I can on it. I do get angry if people REALLY take the piss when it comes to metal, they don't fucking get it, I laugh because it makes me happy, the bands were genuine, you can laugh because something is great, I can laugh about the painted on steel glove on the cover of 'Into Glory Ride', but I think in a totally different way than someone who just looks at it and thinks 'that's ridiculous'.
'Spinal Tap' is good but I think 'Bad News' and 'More Bad News' are funnier:)
