"The British fund for aging rockers. And they give grants. I applied for it... It's the money left over from austerity." I'd been chuckling through the joke laden interview but when he said the gag about austerity I lost it. I don't know how Jonesy kept a straight face. Harry Shearer is an intelligently funny man.
“...but he just pushes it too far...he’s got these beautiful miniature goats...but they’re too small to milk.” I nearly choked on my breakfast laughing at that one! 🤣
Brilliance. Sheer brilliance. I can’t get enough of Steve Jones or Spinal Tap! Brilliance!!!! “Near Death Metal”....... brilliant. Salmon farm. Even better! Lmao!

Near-death metal! I'm not from the UK or LA, so I have no idea who that other gentleman is (some 70s pop singer I expect), but Derek Smalls is my spiritual centre. (I'm American, but I spell it that way to honour Derek.) When his band Tapped into America, he Tapped into my soul. I live my life collecting butter, but Derek Smalls has always been my bread. When all I have is bread, he provides the cucumber.
harry shearer was on the pilot episode of leave it to beaver, check it out! dudes been in the entertainment game since the fifties, it looks like he's wearing David st. hubbins wig?
So funny to watch all the comments on these shows. This is really just old school radio turned into a podcast. Back in the day radio had this vibe. Relaxed and improvised with some notes if the host needed them. And today it's almost radical because people has been fed with short attention spanned entertainment for decades. This is like taking a time machine back to the 70s.
Hahaha, I don't think I've ever seen any of the Spinal Tap guys interact with real rockstars before. It's even funnier. Jones just seems genuinely interested and relating to all the ridiculous jokes.
Oh cripes, for a few minutes I was trying to place 'Derek Smalls' as a real rock star who would know Steve Jones. And I wondered why he sounds a lot like Christopher Lee.
@@alanjudd7537 It actually happened to me,I grew up in Boston,moved to Florida and after a 14 yrs. I went back and everyone said I had a Southern accent
I just saw Edgar Winter on Jonesy's. He's been out of Texas since he was 16, and he STILL has his Texas accent! Ditto with Jonesy himself, whose been in Beverly Hills almost as long. So not everyone. But I do notice its easier for Australians, for some reason, to sound like Americans. Think Rick Springfield and Mel Gibson.
@@markyncole Of course I know Spinal Tap is a joke!. I was just trying to illustrate the point the other guys were making, and it was a valid point that needed to be made.
I have to correct Derek, Armadillos are mammals related to anteaters. They are warm blooded and do not lay eggs and therefore not reptiles. But he's an authority on everything else

I come back to this interview every few months. Comedy gold.
"The British fund for aging rockers. And they give grants. I applied for it... It's the money left over from austerity."
I'd been chuckling through the joke laden interview but when he said the gag about austerity I lost it. I don't know how Jonesy kept a straight face. Harry Shearer is an intelligently funny man.
One of my all time favorite jokes that one, just brilliant!
I love it, the way they play off each other. It's brilliant.
Nigel Tufnel is a genius. He invented a capo for amps, as well as a folding wine glass.
The amp capo changed rock forever.
Don't talk to me about that! I lost a lot of wine!
Plus his amp goes to 11!
Love Jonesy and love Derek.
But neither of them has loved and lost like Frank has.
Derek has a great voice. He should do animation characters.
He seems like the type that would hold out for more money
“...but he just pushes it too far...he’s got these beautiful miniature goats...but they’re too small to milk.”
I nearly choked on my breakfast laughing at that one! 🤣
God bless Steve. His talents are not just limited to guitar playing.
Another delightful interview.
"a near-death metal band"
happyfrancis - the underplay...
Brilliance. Sheer brilliance. I can’t get enough of Steve Jones or Spinal Tap! Brilliance!!!! “Near Death Metal”....... brilliant. Salmon farm. Even better! Lmao!

Derek Smalls is a legend in his own lunchtime.
True, what a disappointment.
Best thing in a long time. Just one after the other. Great chemistry bouncing off of each other!
Great interview, although I was hoping that Derek would give us a live, in-studio acoustic version of Jazz Odyssey.
That would have killed! An extended version with 20% more acoustic bass improv?
Holy shit, Derek Smalls randomly said the EXACT day I was born. July 21, 1975! So cool
Thanks for bringing us in on a lovely chat between blokes.
This is one of the best ones i have seen man.. great laugh
And what, Sir Derek, have you done with "Saucy Jack"??
We've been waiting 41 bloody years, man!

Derek Smalls on bass guitar. He wrote this.
I loved how Steve Jones played this so straight.
I love how they were impersonating each other
I think much of it went over his head - Harry Shearer's often just too subtle for him. 😆
@@johnnyboy2k I agree, when Harry said he had a mate who played in a Near Death Metal Band it seemed to pass Jonesy by
@@NoxiousRob That line had me splitting my sides open!
Imagine that he also did the voice for Montgomery Burns. I used to work for his wife, Judith Owen, a fantastic musician in her own right
It was fun watching these two interact.
The only thing funnier than This is Spinal Tap is watching it with the commentary turned on since they are all in character.
an instant classic ! THANKS men !
Anytime I think I've found my favourite Jonesy's Jukebox I find yet another 😂
Blimey, you pair of silly sods! Very amusing, more power to both of you...... love from South London
"If you put all that on a piece of paper it has flavor."
Derek sounds like he's doing Harry Shearer.

Steve is just great to listen to,admire the guy and always have.
The grants were paid for by the $$ left over from “austerity” 😂🤣😂🤣
I avoided this one until I ran out of Jonesy Juke Box Videos. OMG. I saved the best for last. OMG. He dressed the part and everything. So f'n funny.
This interview really puts a perspective on things
Loving the new Split screen thing
No Derek Smalls, no Spinal Tap. PERIOD! Derek Smalls IS Spinal Tap. He rocks!
Nigel is Spinal Tap, his music is based on Indonesian folk
Love this! Its made my monday morning!
my two favourite bands
harry shearer was on the pilot episode of leave it to beaver, check it out! dudes been in the entertainment game since the fifties, it looks like he's wearing David st. hubbins wig?
I imagine that "Shark Sandwich" is my favorite album by Spinal Tap. If my mind was a couch, they have definitely left their imprints. Legends.
The two word review was shit sandwich😂
I hope Derek still has his telephone kiosk cleaning business,its a very important job 😃
God, I love British humor.
In true Spinal Tap style, right at the start of the video, an assistant positions the mic for Steve and then Steve moves it back again.
😂
When Derek’s Hollywood biopic is finally released it will be titled Jazz Odyssey.
And why not.
I learnt that an armadillo is a reptile. Thanks Derek.
Only in New Orleans. Elsewhere it's a mammal.
"Oh, it's not a rodent"? "Well it runs along the side of a road".
Steve hasn`t seen an Armadillo since the one in the Clash`s Rock The Casbah video in the early 1980s lol
Caught out by the “pasty” 😆
Two L.A. radio greats collide.
“Near death metal band”. Killing me.)
So good.
@ 3:07 "And I'm here to do you....I'm not doing you, I'm doing your show" Haha!
Capt Notsobvious (and me) say: " This is fookn brilliant!"
🗣Tremendous!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Slow... soft... FM radio... that takes... its time...
Hahaha, I don't think I've ever seen any of the Spinal Tap guys interact with real rockstars before. It's even funnier. Jones just seems genuinely interested and relating to all the ridiculous jokes.
I really enjoyed this interview.
Methinks am waiting for Mister Lottery too. What a crack me up! Great Show Jonesy/KLOS!
Got his hands full of goats" 😂😂😂😂
Christopher Guest does the best British accent of The Tap.
"If you go up there with a bird, who cares about Brighton?"
Like a seagull would, you mean? :0)
Steve , you need some pie and mash with liquor !!! Hope you start feeling better !
This interview hit me like an armadillo wrapped in tin foil...
Is that the mammalian Texas armadillo or the reptilian Louisiana armadillo? It matters because you have to pair the wine properly.
Seen Spinal Tap at one of the first Bumbershoot Festivals in Seattle.
Oh cripes, for a few minutes I was trying to place 'Derek Smalls' as a real rock star who would know Steve Jones. And I wondered why he sounds a lot like Christopher Lee.
I want that jacket !!
I'll have a gator sandwich and make it snappy!
😆😃😂😂
Sqweerl. Squirrel? Caught the Yankee out Jonesy!
Still, he does a bloody good accent for a Yank
His accent is crap, always has been, he sounds like an australian (pay-sties, sqweerrl)But this is definitely in the top 5 Jonesy interviews.
That was great
Harry Shearer .......amazing. You'd think he was English, wouldn't you?
Except for the pronunciation of squirrel. He is great!
parkviewmo Oh yeah, and pasties.....
He also says "twentyfive hundred" instead of "two and a half thousand".
you wouldn't but it's not bad
he does live in London...
love Derek!
"Is there a Lego Doctor's Office?"
Too small to milk. Very good. Perfectly delivered and they nearly blew it.
Money left over from austerity . Classic
The lukewarm water of rock and roll.
“Near death metal band”
excellent
Gawd if only Michael Cain would just show up
Derek and Jonesy doing Derek and Clive..this gives me the horn...
It gives you "the Salmon and Prawn"
You could try a little Desenex on that.
Where is the video post for the interview with Andy Summers???
Boudosaved i support the movement to get an andy summers vid posted!
What, Andy was on Jonesy's Jukebox?!
Derek Smalls has been living in America too long,he's losing his British accent.
it can happen if you travel' or live in two places, Odd How Some folks accents 'Never 'Change. any ideas' any one?
@@alanjudd7537 It actually happened to me,I grew up in Boston,moved to Florida and after a 14 yrs. I went back and everyone said I had a Southern accent

@@patricialambert3110 It was a joke. He's an American pretending to be British. He never had a British accent. Haven't ever seen Spinal Tap?
@@markyncole Of course I know Spinal Tap is a joke!. I was just trying to illustrate the point the other guys were making, and it was a valid point that needed to be made.
If you add all that to a piece of paper..
This went to 11
4:20 started at San Rafael High School
Where's the drummer?
Spontaneous combustion
A Classic!
I have to correct Derek, Armadillos are mammals related to anteaters. They are warm blooded and do not lay eggs and therefore not reptiles. But he's an authority on everything else
How profound
Yeah. You could have kept it to yourself. It broke my mood.
Cheer up jonesy ,,fucking made me sad
The Best !!!!!!!❤️
Genius!
he looks like geralt of rivia
I hope Derek was joking with a straight face when he told Steve avocados are vegetables😁😁😁
I saw the Spinals in 1974. Unfortunately their talent was not fully recognised. London's finest!
A TRUE MENTOR AND MUSICAL GENIUS YEASH Roberttyrannymirabilio
The Pyramid's weren't surrounded by desert back then though, there was grassland and water and trees.
Voices.voices inside my head...summer teeth
Hahaha "near death metal " brilliant.
it's not a rodent? well, it runs along the side of the road!
Is that Les Holroyd from Barclay James Harvest 🤔
lol, Jones is good at word-association play. How does Shearer know so much about England to talk like a native like this?
kcirdrab .....months of arduous research in regional pubs?
Probably years not months!
I think he spends a lot of time in London, his wifes British...
That'll explain it then, thx.
His wife, Judith Owen, was born in London so it helps when you're surrounded by an accent and references.
All the hipster "trans teens" of the 2020s would probably change their mind if they knew they will end up looking like Derek Smalls one day 😁
I wish you have Warren Huart on
Streisand Sings... Big Bottom! :0)
