jimmy page is right. violin bow is also correct. the answer you are looking for is dazed and confused, mainly because they played that at almost every live show. in the light or in the evening or how many more times could be correct, but they are not popularly known for their incorporation of said instrumentation.

“but… it goes to 11!” is the best part of the movie. when I get an amp (probably some time in the next 6 months) I’ll be relabling the volume knobs to go up to 11.

My favorite scene is the one where Nigel Tufnel is showing Marty DiBergi his guitar collection, including the one that’s never been played (movie quotes from IMDB):

Nigel Tufnel: Look… still has the old tag on, never even played it.
Marty DiBergi: [points his finger] You’ve never played…?
Nigel Tufnel: Don’t touch it!
Marty DiBergi: We’ll I wasn’t going to touch it, I was just pointing at it.
Nigel Tufnel: Well… don’t point! It can’t be played.
Marty DiBergi: Don’t point, okay. Can I look at it?
Nigel Tufnel: No. no. That’s it, you’ve seen enough of that one.

And then right after that, we find out about the amp that goes to 11 instead of 10.

Favorite part is when he adjusts the tuning on the violin just a hair. And when he uses his cheezy sneakers to adjust something (forget what)

It’s Jimmy Page that he’s mocking. It would be more accurate with a violin bow. And there is no studio recording that contains Jimmy using a bow but he does perform with it live on the song “Dazed and Confused.”

My favorite part of that scene is the tuning of the violin. Just perfect. :)

Rox and Josey both got it! Rox first, of course. The only song Page really used the bow on was “Dazed and Confused” — especially in the movie The Song Remains the Same, which is the scene Nigel is mocking.

Of course Nigel isn’t content just mocking Jimmy Page, he also has a guitar he kicks with his foot there on the stage (possibly a reference to Keith Emerson kicking his keyboards).

One of the best moments in this scene is when Nigel stops his solo to adjust the tuning peg on THE VIOLIN!!

Nigel Tufnel: You can’t really dust for vomit.
