Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean and Rob Reiner of Spinal Tap had a recent conversation with The Billboard and they revealed an untold rare story about Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992.
Here is the conversation:
Billboard:
“Christopher’s guitar wasn’t initially plugged in at the 1992 Freddy Mercury tribute concert.”
Christopher:
“It was plugged in, but there was a little of mischief there because someone had sabotaged [my rig].”
Billboard:
“Purposely?”
Christopher:
“Yeah. It lasted a long time before they had to switch me to another amp.”
Harry:
“It felt like two hours.”
Billboard:
“Michael, you were doing a good job of keeping the audience entertained. Do you ever find out who responsible for that?”
Michael:
“Yeah. The theory I heard was that somebody on Guns N’ Roses [side] as a gag…”
Harry:
“I heard a specific name, and I’m not going to repeat it.”
