Especially as in most cases, the Bass Player is literally just a joke and completely replaceable. In "That Thing You Do" Tom Hanks even played with that. Where out of all the band, the bass player is the only one that does not actually have a name. And is simply listed in the credits as "TB Player".
@@daverlb The cowbell would've been insufficient, as the bass would've overpowered it soundwise. bruce dickinson is only a master of his own realm aka. the studio. he doesn't know that the secret to making arena gigs sound epic and triumphant is to use alot more bass than usual, could've used a little more imo
As an English person, I've never heard a more perfect accent than the Spinal Tap guys. Completely indistinguishable. And they're doing a very specific English region as well - the London commuter towns. Dartford, Dagenham etc. I guess that's because they based their accents on Clapton, Jagger, Richards etc. And that's where they're all from
Christopher Haden-Guest, (Nigel and 5th Baron Haden-Guest) Father was a member of the House of Lords even though Christopher was born in the US he enherited a title so no doubt absorbed the accents pretty well
@@Jdo4031 the fictional Spinal Tap band actually DID play together like a real band and did certain shows for years before the movie's release and also around the movie's release and a little after. Basically, kind of a funny comedic music project like what Dan and John did with The Blues Brothers, and a bit, but not quite, like what Jack and Kyle did with Tenacious D (and still does, as they are actually a straight up real but still comedy band, just with one funny fictionalized origin story - partly inspired by real life, though).
@minibikemafia it's called "Big Bottom" and they're ALL playing bass, so the song is all 'bottom' notes - it literally has the biggest bottom possible.
6arcsn1sky No no. There are English accents (plural) ... I'm pretty sure a Scouse doesn't sound much like a Geordie or an ... eh, Essexian (I don't know what to call them)? At least, I'm fairly sure there's no one "English accent".
The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin' That's what I said The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand Or, so I've read. My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo I love to sink her with my pink torpedo. Big bottom Big bottom Talk about bum cakes My gal's got 'em. Big bottom Drive me out of my mind.

The type of band you daydream about being in for those first 2 years of playing the bass as a kid until you eventually realize it’s the definition of insanity.
I'm 47 tomorrow and it's my 1st "extra" birthday since being diagnosed exactly a year ago tomorrow (my birthday) that I had cancer -- a similar one to Adamn Yauck (one of the many bass players ex Bestie Boys) who did not make it, RIP.
Nigel: "For this performance, we need to turn the bass up to 11." David: "Well, all 3 of us will already be playing bass as usual..." Derek: "Not bad... but what if we give basses to every player from all the other bands at the show?"
the movie is still soo funny as well, I disregarded it at first cos it was about 18 years old while I was only 16 when I first watched it, but decided to give it a chance and I'm very glad I did!
This happened on July 7, 2007. John Entwistle died a proper rock and roll star's death on June 27, 2007, from a combination of a heart attack, cocaine, Viagra, and two hookers in a Las Vegas hotel room. (On the rock and roll death ratings chart, that's a perfect 10!) But if he had waited a bit longer, I'd like to think he would have cheerfully been a part of this performance. And it'd have been really nice to get Lemmy to join in on it as well.
I'm just amazed that anyone would ever agree to play drums with Spinal Tap.
Why?
Derek Jolliffe Because every drummer for Spinal Tap has died in unexplained circumstances, mainly spontaneus human combustion.
Lol! O.k. Gotcha!
Mauricio Mendoza he died in a bizarre gardening accident
alen young It's best left unsolved.
This is like the complete opposite of ...And Justice For All.
LOL xP
LMAO! ...mean!
Underrated comment
Lar's nightmare lol
this sir, is one of the best comments i have ever read :D :D
It doesn't matter how big you are.
You'll just be a bass player for Spinal Tap no matter what.
I can't believe the lead singer went on to be one of the best lawyers in New Mexico.
It's all good man!
Not cool dude!!! That's his witness protection identity.
He was Lenny on Lyverne and Shirly tv show

On lead bass, on rhythm bass, on bass bass... so glad to see these cats get their due.

This is the greatest, dumbest, funniest, most impressive thing I've ever seen! I love it!
I'm sure the guys in Tap said the same thing when they planned it! They know who's gonna love it.
It's the tap and it's so fitting. Please let the new film not be a disaster as this is one cult movie of sheer joy
And.......thus is Spinal Tap my friend
Welcome...
This is a sound guy's living nightmare.
He fucked up
He was probably up there playing bass.
All those amps behind them and no one is plugged in!
Mixing desk clipping like a Motherf
It’s scientifically proven that you can’t have too much low and, that’s scientifically proven.
All the basses go up to 11.
1:26...on bass drums, Skippy Scuffleton, PRAY FOR HIM!
That made me shoot soda from my nose.
No it didn't@@OklaZonie
This is Lars Ulrich’s worst nightmare
Hence why he's the only member of Metallica who isn't there. 😸
Could've used a little more bass
Geddy should've be there
You spellt cowbell wrong
wrong meme, daverlb
I'm inclined to agree.

Hard to believe David St Hubbins and Chuck McGill are the same person. McKean’s accent is flawless.

And Lenny. Or was it Squiggy?
If only Cliff could have been there.
Cliff and Jason both would've enjoyed it
lee gecsey Jesus
Well guess what, he wasn’t. because he’s fuckin dead.
@@jksvana well i mean .. you´re not wrong , he is indeed very dead , and he wasnt even a drummer for spinal tap !
@@mayfieldgage yeah, Jesus should have been there too... I'm sure he plays bass.
If you don't get how hilarious this is, I feel sorry for you. Comedic GOLD!!!!
It’s definitely lost on the masses.
@@neilyaremchuk6798 I was gonna say! I mean look at that crowd! What a miserable bunch of f**kers! Lighten up for crying out loud!
It's that much funnier if you're a musician.
Spare drummer standing-by. A little Tap humour right there. :-)
@minibikemafia HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Words cannot express the awesomeness of this band.
thier actualy not a band at all

@@Luka1180 I love the fact that at other gigs,the guys who played Spinal Tap also opened for Spinal Tap as "The Folksmen" .
None more awesome.
Not even "sh*t sandwich"?
And on bass, Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys!
I absolutely love that, after all this time, everyone still goes along with the “joke”.
@minibikemafia it's called "Big Bottom" and they're ALL playing bass, so the song is all 'bottom' notes - it literally has the biggest bottom possible.
I got a Fever...and the only prescription is ... More Bass
Man. if only John Entwistle was alive to take part in this epic bass jam.
0:12 Derek Small's bass guitar is packed with pickups!
I don't get why he doesn't play the double neck bass he originally did. That was so funny.
...every bass player in the known Universe.
+dexterinzo Even a few people who don't even play bass.
The fact that i am listening to this with phone speakers is ever funnier, so many bassists and cannot hear one 😂
ear buds, man.
Imagine Jason Newsted watching three members of Metallica all playing bass, and Lars not taking the bass out of the mix. Has to sting
All your bass are belong to us.
🤣
This might just be the most epic rock performance ever. Ever. Just... ever.
Spinal Tap: The Only Americans who can Properly do a British Accent
Oi! I can do one too bellend!
***** No such thing as a British accent, but an English accent.
6arcsn1sky No no. There are English accents (plural) ... I'm pretty sure a Scouse doesn't sound much like a Geordie or an ... eh, Essexian (I don't know what to call them)? At least, I'm fairly sure there's no one "English accent".
thossi09 I wasn't being specific since I didn't put down they spoke Brummie or Black Country.
Unlike other the Robin Hoods I can speak with a English accent. ..Robin Hood men in tights
Fun Fact:
David St Hubbins was named after Saint Hubbins- the Patron Saint of Quality Footwear.
An orchestra of bass genius!!
All hittin' the note!!
It’s a sophisticated piece of art if you think about it, they’re taking a large female bottom and writing a song about it
Absolutely the SILLIEST and most entertaining band in the entire world!! \m/ SPINAL TAP \m/
"Eventually everyone does Madonna!" Hahahahahaha.
I'd have loved to break out my Bass and be on stage with these guys - absolutely epic
If you'd have actually shown up backstage with your bass, they'd have let you join the herd. Absolutely guaranteed.
There is nothing more Rock and Roll than this!
"How could I leave this behind." 😅😅
I am a bassist. This... this makes me happy.😁
It feels weird watching Kirk Hammett and James hetfield of Metallica play bass
Paul Crosby You’re fucking pathetic if that makes you feel weird.
yes, but robert trujillo, kicked some ass!
Ah thanks for saying the band I would have had no idea
Appearing en masse was the least they could do for stealing the "Smell The Glove" cover.
All that bass. It's James's worst nightmare!
Best jam session on earth!!
Basst jam session
solo bass, lead bass, rhytm bass, distorted bass, clean bass, backing bass, bass
Shark Kowalski base bass
Non dairy creamer bass, bright black bass, stevia infused bass, unleaded bass, HD bass...
Bass synthesiser
This is Queen at Live Aid-level.
"..Eventually..everybody does Madonna.. " (Always could use more bass!!)
I'm sure she has a cowbell in there as well....
Spinal Tap, the greatest rock band in the world!!!
I would've loved to have been there and heard and felt all of those basses! I bet it was phenomenal!
Fantastic! Every great bass player in the world all doing Big Bottom with Spinal Tap! LOVE IT!
Not the world but the known universe.
The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'

I always thought it was “big torpedo.”
It really is a fun bass line, and Spinal Tap paved the way for more timid ass-men across the globe to love those BIG BOTTOMS, and look at us now.
Picked up my bass and played along with this video.
Because you know I'm all about that bass.
On the bass... Classic!!! Long live The Tap!!!
Greatest prog metal act ever. Cheers mates.
More of a metal prog act really.
Most of the crowd is too young to understand why this is awesome...
That’s because they have been DUMBED DOWN TO BECOME SNOWFLAKES!
@@davidpage3893i hope this is a joke haha
@@Cocoa678
As Biden would say…”THAT’S NO JOKE!”
What age restricted thing makes this awesome? It's just funny because it's spinal tap being gratuitous
0:13 that's a lot of pickups.
I've seen this a few times and I just noticed that that.
ZingsVideos yeah like 5 at least
ZingsVideos Not such thing!
They don’t write classics like this anymore!
Spinal Tap the best
The type of band you daydream about being in for those first 2 years of playing the bass as a kid until you eventually realize it’s the definition of insanity.
well do you know the definition of insanity?
@@i-ate-bread a band full of this many bass guitars
@@cheapmusicgear and bass for all
sounds so good.. there amps must be at 11
I'm 47 tomorrow and it's my 1st "extra" birthday since being diagnosed exactly a year ago tomorrow (my birthday) that I had cancer -- a similar one to Adamn Yauck (one of the many bass players ex Bestie Boys) who did not make it, RIP.
Yo Igloo. Blessings bass bro. I beat prostate cancer some years ago. Hang in there and get right with Jesus.
This is awesome. Weird and awesome. I’m glad all these guys played ball.
The most iconic song ever…! 😂😂
Nigel: "For this performance, we need to turn the bass up to 11."
David: "Well, all 3 of us will already be playing bass as usual..."
Derek: "Not bad... but what if we give basses to every player from all the other bands at the show?"
Spinal Tap are so underrated.
You had to go and ruin it
Spinal Tap, The most awesome band that NEVER existed. The Folksmen are the second best band that NEVER existed.
Mca spinal tap and metallica so awesome
on bass drums skippy scuffleton. pray for him
"On the bass.... On the bass... On bass...." 😂😂😂
so many bass guitarists ....tremendous stuff
James Hetfield on the Bass guitar, Kirk Hammett on the Bass Guitar, Robert Trujillo on the Kazoo... :D
"On bass drums Skippy Skullfulton...pray for him!!"
The ground must have been rumbling from all that bass!
What is wrong with this audience? Their like dead or something. Didn't they know who they were watching?
I was there pissing myself. People around me thought Spinal Tap were just a crap, has-been rock band ! Didn't know what they were gawping at!
OMGosh!! Normally, I love to hear everyone's concert stories. In this case, I'll make an exception.
Oh.. you bitch :-)
I’m sure everyone of the bands who played that day stuck around to watch Tap. All those bass players were living the dream.
You cant hear them over the bass
THAT IS A WHOLE LOTTA BASS
, I am really digging that bass guitar with 6 pick ups
Thanks for that observation. It's supposed to be for fun, and funny.
I was really hoping for shots of bass players spanking other bass players before the big finish. Still awesome.
Big Bases, big Bases, talk about base players, this band got em ... I made my kids and grand kid watch spinal tap so they know what good humor is
Wow that's a shitload of talent on one stage
snakes came from at least 40 miles away.
I hope they remembered to put the cooling fans on medium setting.
"This is a rock concert
Not the bleedin splish splash show"😆 😆
@@davedecker1725 goodnight springdon, there will be no encore
Man... breaking some wind with all that bass!
This is glennn fricker's nightmare
was lucky enough to see it,right at the front as well :)
Very cool, love the bass!
I heard the song today by jenifer lopez, and this is still the best song about butts i have seen.
The problem with this song is theres not enough bass
I'm getting goosebumps watching this.
If only Geezer Butler, Geddy Lee and Paul McCartney had been there, I could die a happy man.
the movie is still soo funny as well, I disregarded it at first cos it was about 18 years old while I was only 16 when I first watched it, but decided to give it a chance and I'm very glad I did!
Wow, this is amazing.
Imagine if all dropped the bass. It would be a seismic event
This is amazing!

Five years off mate.
He died in 2002, not ‘07
this is truly hilarious. gotta watch while drunk
the mighty ST!!!!!
Challenge: Name all the BASS players on this stage? Only problem it wasn't recorded with Dubbly.
Mr . Robert Trujillo actually on the bass
This is the best thing I've seen in a long time.
Excellent.
This is awesome!
This is awesome, this should be watched with the volume turned-up to....ELEVEN!!
Yea Geddy would be able to do all their parts while laying down an awesome synthline...
You said it Bro.!!
Just saw this, and was thinking the same. How would Geddy break out in context, and then magically bring it back. RIP Neil.
