Ever since Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Co. made the heavy metal mockumentary, “This Is Spinal Tap,” the very form of music that group lovingly lampooned has been reduced to a punchline. No sooner does a well-intentioned tribe of metal mates don the black leather pants and the Flying V guitars then some smart-aleck is pronouncing them “total ‘Spinal Tap,’ dude!”—and all of this before the band even launches into an epic celebrating the mystical, magical properties of Stonehenge.
