BRILLIANT. Because if you've EVER tried to be in a band (and I may have from time to time, who knows? ;) you'd know just how DEADLY ACCURATE this all is.
When they're playing the song just before Vim complains about playing a G, the camera work is pretty neat, how did they get around the room like that without it looking like footsteps
It's a little known recording trick not many cameramen (or women!) learn nowadays, but back then they would practice balancing the camera on their heads, because of the terribly long days a cameraman (or woman!) would face they tended to consume a lot of caffeine which would make their hands shake, balancing the camera on your head counteracts the shakes much more efficiently due to the neck being central to the body mass of a cameraman (or woman!).
I taped this off the telly on to VHS, and then on to cassette tape from the TV speaker so I could listen to it on the way to school. Loved it!
Your ancestors would be so proud
Me and my mates used to practice Warriors of Genghis Khan in my Dad's garage.. those were the days..
The blood won't wash away!
I swear that both Bad News and More Bad News are even funnier than Spinal Tap ... and that's saying something. Just how did they keep a straight face?
Still Crazy was another good one that I thought was better than Spinal Tap, and Bill Nighy did all his own vocals.
I agree, more bad news is absolutely hilarious
It's so accurate when it comes to local bands, I've met every one of these in different bands lol
The album is hilarious too
I saw them at Donnington & a few years later at the Edinburgh Playhouse on the More Bad News tour. great fun
The one thing that always gets me about this scene is how fucking cool the tune sounds when they start
I'm a warrior ❤
WOGK is a pretty good track...
@@jasoncee666 Of Ghengis Khan?
@@TradCatMan nah just a cold hole known as Tasmania 🤣🤣🤣
@@serverlan763 Warriors and Drink Till I Die are proper pumpin rock tracks. Obviously, having Brian May there helps a bit.
They should have made a full series of Bad News, it could have been as big as the Young ones, just hilarious 👍🏻😂
It was an actual band ... check it out
I remember watching this for the first time and rolling with laughter, watching this takes me back to then. BN1 an 2 were brilliant full stop.
That "we need a proper bassplayer" line always makes chuckle 😂.
Right. I’m off.
At least I'm not a banker
What was needed was "why can't we find a left handed bass player who can actually play a left handed bass".
The truth ... i am watching it since 30 years and it gets truer every time i am seeing it 😂 !!! BAD NEWS for president
Brilliant watched the comic strip back in the day and have all the complete dvds,love how they take the piss out of heavy metal 😂😅😅😅😅😄😄😄😄😄 Rip Rik.
Mayall, Edmondson and Planer are comic masters.
Richardson is no slouch either.
and the other fella..
In my gigging days, when asked to do my mike check I'd say 'Hello Spider!' 😀
I was a metal fan as a teen in the 80s and Bad News was so good my mates and myself still quote it as much as Spinal Tap. Genius.
“Where’s the toilet”…. Classic Neil
“You know I’ve got a runny bottom, Rik!”
I never heard of this, but I remember "The Young Ones"
The first time i saw this, i laughed so much that i ended up puking.
It’s a classic line-up! 😂👍
BRILLIANT. Because if you've EVER tried to be in a band (and I may have from time to time, who knows? ;) you'd know just how DEADLY ACCURATE this all is.
True - The band member who starts a fight out of nothing.
I did, it is! lol
"Who has been here?……………Bananarama…"
I bloody LOVE Bad News! Could watch this and Bad News Tour on a loop forever! :-)
Now that is it!!.....I'm going....right now....I refuse to argue with you.........
"See I,m refusing to argue with you"
Bye then hee hee 😂
Anthony Stewart Head as the engineer
Well there's a tour Bad News, Spinal Tap,and Steel Panther.
Who’s that playing bass? WHO IS IT!? Classic Rik Mayall
theyre all brilliant but Peter Richardson is so underated in these comic strip presents !!
"Colin, stop crying." "I'm not crying... "
Everything Den says and does has me in pieces....
Hey lads, There's a crate of beer here !! love it
Class! Pure class!
bad news brilliant love this.
Basically Rick and Viv with long hair
Who's that playing bass? Who is it? 😅
Viv looks like Mantas from Venom. 😂
My first time seeing or hearing of this. I recognize Nigel from The Young One's but that's it. Based on the comments, Ive been missing out.
Aw, you've gotta feel for Colin.
I watched the out take of them setting up ready to perform at Heavy Metal festival. Very funny.
The gag about the bass player not being on the record.... That happens way more than most bands will admit!
we need more, more bad news
I would choose a Vox AC30 amp over a Marshall stack every time.
You’re not a cliche 1980s heavy metal guitarist character, so it’s moot.
@@thefonzkissBut a Vox AC31 would be appropriate.😂
mezzabarba trinity for me
LOL!! TIMELESS!!!! SPINAL TAP AND THESE GUYS ARE STILL BETTER THAN THE MUSICAL PLANTS CREATED BY THE MAINSTREAM INDUSTRY TODAY!!!
When you build on the shoulders of giants...
Ohhhhhh, this is VERY funny..Yes, it's funnier, and Spinal Tap is a hoot!!
Can anyone recognise Den's amp? Never seen anything like it.
No way. This one's mine now. lol
So much better than Spinal Tap. And they played Donington!
awesome
Heard ade on radio 2 today, then this pops up 😂
Who's that playing bass?

....and he was playing a G.
@@Fearless_Beggar Exactly. :)
@@abegarfield7031 Heh yeah you noticed that too? :)
I actually liked their music. Warriors of Genghis Khan was a classic lol. The two documentaries were hilarious.
On a clear day
I have the cash in on Christmas album on CD
Bye than
...Bananarama... World's greatest band! Whoa! Not Bananarama, but Bad News, of course!
The Young Ones!
"WHO IS IT!?!"
The tuning 'drone', those were the days.
It's all alcopops and samplers these days.
I'm not sure what this is but I'm dying laughing
I wish it was longer ....
I had a girlfriend who used to say those very words!
lol
7:23 lol
"Just a touch more.....shut up" Typical bass player!
what's wrong vim??
nigel planer was the funniest in Bad News
I thought we were Heavy Metal
Colin discovers what Bill Wyman did if he wasn't there. Someone else will play the Bass on the track.
Rip rik
To be honest they sound like Royal Blood....
They could actually play apart from Rick
Still good though
5:02😅😅😅
they actually pre dated spinal tap by a few months...
Den your playing a G
American hair bands... take note.
very spinal tap.
Vim
i found it tedious and no where near the class of spinal tap
Frilly Pink....isnt that the record label for gays?
The uncold lager is so not funny. It almost made me puke.
1:42
The UK was a great place then...............
its another country now?
If the UK isn’t a great place, then I’m a queer 🤨
