You see, most blokes are gonna 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? Nowhere, exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Eleven. Exactly. One louder. - Nigel Tufnel, _This Is Spinal Tap_
