Screamin’s Pick of the Week: Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap
Nigel Tufnel:
Nigel Tufnel is a fictional character in the 1984 mock-rockumentary film “This Is Spinal Tap.” In the film, he is the lead guitarist of the rock band Spinal Tap. I never actually met the actor Christopher Guest from the movie. How I acquired this gem of a pic is from Lzzy Hale of Halestorm. We were hanging out at the former Detroit Hard Rock Cafe’ and traded guitar pics that we happen to have on us. Traded my band Chit’s guitar pic for a Spinal Tap pic and that’s how I got it!
Born in Mt Clemens, Screamin’ Scott has been a part of the Detroit airwaves for 30-plus years. With 40 years of experience in radio. When he’s not out on the streets for WCSX, you can find him devoting time to local charities with his, “Screamin Angels”; and for 16 years with Rock 4 Tots charity. And last 10 years with his local band, "Chit!." Screamin Scott likes to write about nostalgic Detroit area memories, classic rock, and local metro Detroit topics.
