Steven Tyler didn’t think it was funny
This Is Spinal Tap should have had one of the band members with a pre-pubescent girlfriend, but I guess that would have been too over the top even for them.

I was amazed to read that the surviving members of the band wanted that movie to be primarily about what Queen did after Mercury’s death.
