The legendary Spinal Tap delivered a whole lot of bass to their performance of “Big Bottom” on Monday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Alongside core members Derek Smalls and Nigel Tufnel, the legendary rockers were joined by Tal Wilkenfeld and Thundercat, bringing the total number of bassists on stage to a cool four.
Rounding out Spinal Tap’s lineup for the evening were singer David St. Hubbins, C.J. Vanston, and the band’s brand-new drummer, DD Crockett — who, I’m happy to report, made it through the performance unscathed.
Spinal Tap, alongside filmmaker Marty DiBergi, also joined Kimmel to talk about their new documentary film (which hits theaters this Friday), the companion book and soundtrackwhat they enjoyed most about collaborating with Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Garth Brooks (“it meant three songs we didn’t have to do”), what their streaming today (Bing Crosby, Cardi B), their backstage tour riders which includes four different types of orange juice, and why they’re not allowed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and more.
