Line 176:
:*Peter "James" Bond (1967–1977) (Portrayed by [[Russ Kunkel]] whose character was mistakenly credited as the name of the previous drummer). [[Spontaneous human combustion|Spontaneously combusted]] on stage during a jazz-blues or blues-jazz festival on the Isle of Lucy, leaving behind what has been described alternately as a "globule" or a "stain".
:*Mick Shrimpton (1977–1982) (Portrayed by [[Ric Parnell|R. J. "Ric" Parnell]]). Exploded onstage.
:*Joe "Mama" Besser (1982) (Portrayed by [[Fred Asparagus]]). Claimed he "couldn't take this [[4/4 time|{{music|time|4|4}}]] shit"; according to an [[MTV]] interview with Spinal Tap in November 1991, he disappeared along with the equipment during their Japanese tour. He is either dead or playing [[jazz]]. The name is a reference to that of [[Joe Besser]], who similarly had a short-lived and ill-fitted stint as a member of [[The Three Stooges]]; it is also a play on the insult phrase "[[Maternal insult|Yo mama]]".
:*Richard "Ric" Shrimpton (1982–1999). Allegedly sold his [[Kidney dialysis|dialysis]] machine for drugs; presumed dead.
:*Sammy "Stumpy" Bateman (1999–2001). Died trying to jump over a tank full of sharks while on a tricycle in a freak show.
