I was thinking the exactly same about the original movie being a product of its time. If the sequel has no new angle and ways to bring Spinal Tap to this decade, it will be cheap nostalgia bait. Rock and metal music isn't similarly on the limelight like when the movie came out.
Better Call Saul didn't have a similar problem as Breaking Bad was somewhat part of the zeitgeist and a lot of effort was made to expand Saul's character and the lore.

I'm open as well. But the precedent has been set that the average sequel/prequel/remake is not as good as the first. Here's hoping they do it well!
