1. money tawks and bullshits walks

Nigel Tufnel - It's like, "How much more black could this be?", and the answer is none, none more black.

NIGEL - Really they’re quite fearful—that’s my theory. They see us on stage with tight trousers. We’ve got, you know,
armadillos in our trousers. I mean it’s really quite frightening...

[leftofthedial]

2. these go to eleven

"You see, most blokes will be playing at 10. You’re on 10, all the way up, all the way up...Where can you go from there? Nowhere. What we do, is if we need that extra push over the cliff...Eleven. One louder."

[PurityOfEssence]

14. the best explanation of fervent religious belief ever

"This one goes to eleven"

3. "You can't really dust for vomit"

"One review of your album, Shark Sandwich consisted of just two words: Shit Sandwich."

"You don't find that offensive? You don't find that sexist?"
"Well, what's wrong with being sexy?"

5. Maybe if we had recorded it in Dobly

I don't think the problem was that the band was down. I think the problem was we had a Stonehenge monument that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf!

7. Great scene, wasn't it?

Ian won't mix up inches and feet again, will he?

[Cooley Hurd]

6. Re: Stonehenge stage effect...

[Wonk]

8. It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever.

We've got Armadillos in our trousers. It's really quite frightening.

15. Ever see "Fear of a Black Hat"?

It's a version of the movie done in the rap world. Now, before you start spitting invective, it's a point-by-point homage/parody, and it's absolutely hysterical. Try it, you'll like it.

[Djinn]

[dolgoruky]

20. It's a kind of... totemistic thing

"Hey, watch your language in the presence of the king"

"It's really puts a perpective on things."
"Too much fuckin perpective."

"Janine... Smell the glove is here"

[MissMillie]

"...I must admit I've never heard anybody with that name."

"What was he the saint of?"
