No one band in particular...but many. The film is a mock rockumentary that satirized the wild personal behavior and musical pretensions of bands such as Led Zeppelin, The Who, Queen, Aerosmith, Kiss, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and The Beatles among many others.

I believe that they are just based on the whole genre of heavy metal music. Some of the scenes reflect things that have actually happened even if they are exaggerated. Many of the metal bands thought it was so accurate that it wasn't funny. I do see some of The Who and Led Zeppelin in there. Jimmy Page used to play with a violin bow on dazed and confused, but Nigel from Spinal Tap actually rubs the violin itself against the strings and he tunes the violin like that would change the sound in some way! lol! that was so funny.
