Nigel Tufnel (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001302/): The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001661/): Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001302/): Exactly.
Marty DiBergi (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001661/): Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001302/): Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001661/): I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001302/): Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001661/): Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001302/): Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001661/): Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001302/): [pause] These go to eleven.

Christopher Guest, AKA Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel, is 62 today. He will probably celebrate with his wife, Jamie Lee Curtis.

I always make sure to write in a number 11 on all of my guitar amps.

Lol, that's awesome! I posted this knowing most folks would not even know what the heck Spinal Tap is, but a few do. Every now and then someone posts a goofy response with something to the effect of "it goes to 11". Mr. Guest has been in a lot of great movies, but I think this is the best. Well, he was in "The Long Riders", the greatest western ever made, so mebbe it's a tie as to which one is better.

My Peavey Windsor (http://www.harmony-central.com/ProductImages/Large/000000395.jpg) amp goes up to 12. That's "one louder" than 11!!!

Take that, Nigel!
