He knew what he signed up for when he became their drummer.

Dark humor aside, I'm sure this has been in the works prior to that. Also, I may be alone on this, but I want Fran Drescher also comes back.

I thought there already was a sequel but it was a made for TV show in 1992 to do with the Royal Albert Hall show they did

How could a sequel almost 40 years later ever live up to the original? I guess we'll have to wait until it comes out and see.

This could be the best or worst news I've gotten today. I just want midgets with walkers when they do Stonehenge!

I remember watching the first one at my gf's house and her overly intoxicated Father walked in and thought we were watching an actual documentary and kept yelling at the tv recalling how he remembered when that certain event happened, got excited when they played a song and tried to remember the lyrics or recalled something around that same timeframe lol
