Me, my brother and sister, and a couple of our friends tuned in to MTVs very first moment on the air and saw the first ever MTV video, Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles. Pat Benatar scored the second video with You Better Run. Can't remember the order after, but I remember The Who, You Better You Bet and Phil Collins In the Air Tonight were in first 5. In those first few years MTV was ALL music videos and nothing but. They had a VJ to announce the next video. That was it! 👍✌️🤘
I was born in 86’ and I got to see the ass end of growing up pre-internet. MTV was great.. for a minute real world and road rules were the only non music shows. And they gave smaller bands airtime on Headbangers Ball and stuff.. it was great for a kid. Imagine sitting in front of a TV for hours on airing for a music video you wanted to see.. it kinda forced you to hear everything else and opened you up to new stuff. I was really bummed around 2002.. it went downhill quick with reality-tv picking up speed. It’s like they went all in on that for some strange reason. Maybe it was cheaper and needed less talent?
Did Nigel just predict endless rotary encoders or "endless" knobs on today's music gear in his explanation of his 'infinity' knob settings on his Marshall Stack guitar? The engineering genius of Nigel Tufnel :D
Yeh, but it makes sense. On an interview with a british talk show host he said he was an inventor for many years after the Breaking Wind Tour so i think that knob is his invention.
Martha Quinn... goddess. Monster crush on her back then. I was like 16 and had devised what I wanted my partner to look and be like and Martha was it. She's still a sweet person and loads of fun to talk to.
One Christmas eve, in the mid 90's, a friend of mine asked if I wanted to join him going over to Martha's place for the evening. I asked, "Who's Martha?" and he was vague when he answered. Yes, it turned out to be Martha Quinn's house. There were no more than five or six of us there and I have to say, I totally fell for her. She was married to the guy from The Fuzztones, though. He wasn't there, so we got into a long conversation. Martha was incredibly down to earth, hospitable, charming, sweet, smart, and she liked cats. I really felt like we were hitting it off, but I think really, she's the kind of person who could hit it off with anyone.
@@jdhill770 It's true. There was a horrible spate of gardening-related deaths in 2020, caused mainly by the deaths of the drummers. No one could have seen it coming though, because they were dead. That's the cruel irony of the situation.
I heard that one of the drummers actually died of cholera. He went to the hospital but the doctors misdiagnosed him with covid and they gave him covid medicine instead of cholera treatment which was... an honest mistake im sure...but he died of cholera, which is ironic considering that people only died of covid in those two years. No one would have suspected cholera... Such a shame, he was quite talented too.
Why don't I remember Martha being that gorgeous back then? I was in HS, and I thought she was kinda cute, but looking at her now back then, she's way more than kinda cute.
Do you all know about the B side of the Rockumentary... If you search YT there is a whole other 90 minutes of Footage that didn't make the cut. I wish someone would edit it all together to make a 3 hour movie for theme nights at the cinema?
Martha Quinn! Wow! Its been a long time! MTV was so great back then. So much talent at that time.
Had a HUGE crush on her. My friends all loved Nina Blackwood, but there was something so sexy and simple about Martha.
Such a cutie. I forgot how much I like her smile.
Love it Nigel's aside to Michael McKean:
Q: "What's a 'pantheon'?
A: "It's a kind of zoo."
Believe it or not MTV (music television) used to actually be about music

But she does not like the tongue thing

Today, I will be mostly searching the Internet for Spinal Tap Rare clips.
Admirable
What an amazing time to be alive. I miss it so much
lmao I love how she's trying to keep it together while they're takin the piss
Spinal Tap Live at Antietam.
So damn funny.
That would have been epic! They could have fired off some old civil war cannons during the show!
It's always great to hear some wit and wisdom from the lads in Spinal Tap, and good to see Martha too!
I was at their Millennium show back in '89 and caught a drumstick during the solo. It had a volume knob on the bottom that went to 5.5.
Man, I miss television like this.
The genius of Spinal Tap is that the whole world is a spinal tab one way or another .
Martha Quinn......what a DOLL......and she still is 😍

I would LOVE to believe there are ACTUAL Official 8 Tracks!
Great use of the word "chuffed" by David!

what's the sound of clapping in the forest after a tree falls?
These guys are hilarious!!
Spinal Tap had 4 drummers during COVID.
And each of them died, not of the pandemic disease, but in strange gardening accidents...
@@jdhill770 Gardening accidents. 🤣🤣🤣

Its funny that even the crew off set laughs all the time 😂
A new 8 track, wow!
When she asked them about the JFK thing they should have all dropped character and started seriously discussing their theories…
The environmentally correct extra long cd packaging made me lose it.
When you think that if every rock band has done the same Earth would be saved by now… shame on them !
Lol holy sh** that extra long CD box is so funny
She brought it into shot perfectly...
Brilliant! Thanks for posting :)
Ah sweet sweet Martha. My 14 year-old teenage crush.
For the record, it was a zucchini 😂
She did all three of them.
Drummers can count to 4 and then they have to start all over again. How smart can they be?
Mojo Nixon was correct: he sang he wanted to put "some stuffin' in Martha's muffin." Absolutely.
"I wanna be doin some SIN with you, Martha Quinn!"
"Terry" sounds suspiciously like a certain Mike Nesmith.
“Paper and plastic.”
Martha is so cute
that phone # doesn't seem to be working presently.
i keep ringing the number but i can't get thru!
There was an interview with Spinal Tap that included Mick Fleetwood as their new drummer. Anybody see that? Know where I can see it?
I just watched that..if you type in Spinal Tap on Jonathan Ross it should come up. Hope that helps.
@@martynhulland6252 Thanks, I knew that one. I’m thinking of one where the interview was about an hour long and Fleetwood was in the studio with them.
@@rjwh67220 oh ok..worth trying to find..I'll have a look if I find something I'll let you know Russ.
Martha is a sweatheart!..
Why don't I remember Martha being that gorgeous back then? I was in HS, and I thought she was kinda cute, but looking at her now back then, she's way more than kinda cute.
That happens when you get older.
Yep I'm English & I can confirm that in croquet it goes through the wicket. Who the Hell says Americans are ignorant of other cultures?!
He's an English Lord, it figures.
Saw this when I was 8 in 1992it was hiliarous 🦖
Poor Martha, she's not much of a comedic ad-libber,. But, in her defense, that's the last thing you'd need to know as a rock'n'roll VJ/interviewer.
She's playing the "straight man" here.
Isn't Martha cute?
Martha Quinn had the sweetest lips…her mouth was nice too.
I tried to call that night and was sooo bummed I couldn't get through :(
Before MTV went completely in the Rap crapper....it's a shame that MTV turned on the people that made it
Agreed. Those animals always turn on their handlers.
That's Capitalism
@@jackscratch785 But it was a choice and gamble. Not forced like socialism, Marxism , and communism where poverty, slavery, and death are assured.
@@paulhowson8744Buzzwords! Buzzwords for everyone!
Since Spinal Tap the unreal world has taken precedence. Look around.
Martha Quinn 😍
I love the sub par wigs in this.
Help I'm in the bible belt. 😂😂
Haha, stealth tech zucchini.
Martha making blood pulse to extremity’s
TRES Cool
14:41 Harry Shearer slips up here. Someone from Nilford in the West Midlands should call it a courgette, not a zucchini.
Antietam 😂
Martha Quinn was a hottie. I was a kid back then and didn't appreciate her hotness. DAMN!
8:49
XD
Who is the interviewer? She looks familiar
Martha Quinn
3:05
I wanna get in, Martha Quinn !
@@pressureworks Pervert!
@@joelewishenry7886 not at all
The hair is just too much.
Amazed no one punched them for taking the mickey out of metal music, they are ultimately hostile.
Gen X is the Martha Quinn generation. We all had a crush on her.
Cute girl! Funny banter with Nigel..
There's no Corgi, it was just an example
Sadly 5 drummers had died at this point
Hello Trevor?
Hello!
