\n\tSpinal Tap may be a fake band, but its music is very real, and it is being used to raise money for Teen Cancer America, a non-profit founded by The Who<\/a>\u2019s Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend that runs cancer programs for teens and young adults ages 15-39.<\/p>\n

\n\tMembers of such legendary groups as Guns N\u2019 Roses<\/a>, Foo Fighter<\/a>s, The Go-Go\u2019s and Tool, among others, appear on The Majesty of Rock<\/em>, a 32-song collection from the Spinal Tap catalog, including such Tap classics as\u201d Sex Farm,\u201d \u201c(Listen to the) Flower People,\u201d \u201cHell Hole\u201d and \u201cBig Bottom.\u201d The collection also features a contribution from the Play it Back Players, a band comprised of cancer patients and professional musicians, who donate their time.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the spirit of Spinal Tap, many of the musicians created fake bands for the project. For example, Vixen\u2019s Britt Lightning formed The Lightning Rods for her contribution. Guns N\u2019 Roses\u2019 Dizzy Reed plays with a group dubbed Jason Achilles, while System of a Down<\/a>\u2019s John Dolmayan plays with Antenna the End. \u201cBig Bottom\u201d is attributed to the band S.S.R.J.C.T., which is comprised of Mastadon\u2019s Troy Sanders, Failure\u2019s Kellii Scott, Kyuss\u2019s Scott Reeder, Foo Fighters\u2019 Rami Jaffee, Tool\u2019s Justin Chancellor and The Go-Go\u2019s Abby Travis. (The band takes its name from the first initial of each musician\u2019s last name)<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly 5,000 digital copies of the compilation will be available and can be purchased here<\/a> for a minimum donation of $19.84, a reference to the year This is Spinal Tap<\/em> was released in 1984.<\/p>\n

\n\tJournalist and podcaster Marc Shea produced the set, which came about following a conversation on his Performance Anxiety. \u201cThree and a half years later, we have a double album to honor the musical and comedic legacy of Spinal Tap, the band that gave us \u2018going to 11\u2019 as well as raising awareness for spontaneous combustion,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cI can\u2019t thank the contributors or TCA enough for their support.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0\u201cThis tribute album is a fun, powerful way to raise crucial funds and awareness for the unique challenges facing this age group,\u201d Shannon Sullivan, executive director of Teen Cancer America, said in a statement. We are incredibly grateful to the brilliant artists who have lent their talents to this project and to the creators of Spinal Tap for allowing us to celebrate their genius for a cause that is so important.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
