Rock Diary: Spinal Tap is a concise, unique, chronological, day/month and year-by-year history documenting the complete life and career of England's loudest heavy metal band. The definitive factual story of one of the least influential groups of all time, this is the ultimate biographical timeline of Spinal Tap from its disastrous beginnings in 1961, through its ill-conceived psychedelia period to its surprise success with "This Is Spinal Tap", right up to its present-day triumphs as the most misunderstood band in rock history and its occasional mismatched pairings with the Folksmen. This is the sixth volume in the Rock Diary series which also includes individual, comprehensive biographies on all the rock greats including the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, U2 - even Lady Gaga.
