I was at Donington that year, absolutley p**sed, as were all my mates and Bad News were f**king great. The whole crowd was in stitches laughing. The tour shirt said "I saw Bad News Fuck up at Donington". Hahaha. They should do a follow-up in middle age.
Adrian Edmonson is actually a very good Guitarist and I've heard Nigel Planer sing and he's got a very good voice. They purposely played bad in Bad News. Brian May produced the Queen Cover, I'd say he had a great laugh while doing it.
I was there that year. I remember the bottles being thrown, and the sky turning black! Funny how some of the rock stars got the joke, and others appeared not to!
Yes they can actually play the instruments that they all chose to learn and they actually had Brian may tutor them and help them do the queen cover.And they actually went to the monsters of rock back in the day when throwing glass bottles was common practise and sometimes they were full of piss aswell lol.The real crazy thing is that they didnt tell the crowd who they were
Also, my sister went to Donington that year and I remember she said "Bad News were rubbish". The irony of watching a joke metal band at a metal festival was way, way far ahead of its time. For years I thought Bad News the poor English Spinal Tap. I had no idea until today they did it first, and actually rather well! Everyone who has played in a band has heard "No, we're NOT playing fackin' Stone 'enge!" r whatever; I reckon Bad News is the new Spinal Tap for those in the know.
I live in Long Eaton, and contest that: 1. The end 'hospital' scenes were filmed in Nottingham Queen's Medical Centre (those circular fingerholes in the bedside patient cabinets give it away perfectly). 2. The hotel scenes were filmed in Novotel, Bostocks Ln (which is where Mr Tommy Lee infamously pleasured Bruce Dickinson's girlfriend of the time). 3. Er.. most of the clay pack tracks into Donington (no double 'n', please) entrances to the site are now hardcored. I have no more to add.
thats way cool! what did they do? just scream? ahahahah "BAD NEWS WOO IM PREGNANT!" Can't blame them for the Ben Elton bit tho ahaha :P you are so lucky to have seen them! I wasn't even born! Legends! And I'd probably do the same about the t.shirts. I'll be buried in my F+S one!
Totally AWESOME! Would love to have been at Donington that year, well funny... Rock on everyone, rock on!
