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
@@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 want a spinal tap cover band called "Drummer wanted" change drummers at the break, explain to the crowd he had a terrible vending machine accident on break.....our new drummer.....😂
@@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).

It must be buried in the pile of comments. Someone once dropped one here that read: "This is like the complete opposite of "...and Justice for All." True that.
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.
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.
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".
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 majority of this crowd needs a slap … I'd be beside myself if I was watching Spinal Tap on their own, never mind with the likes of James Hetfield performing with them!
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
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
@@s4lroachcliplet’s just 😊😊
@@jerrytravelstead1075 just what?
On lead bass, on rhythm bass, on bass bass... so glad to see these cats get their due.

Could've used a little more bass
Geddy should've be there
You spellt cowbell wrong

I'm inclined to agree.

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...
And somehow one of the most authentic rock and roll moments of all time…
All the basses go up to 11.
Fun Fact:
David St Hubbins was named after Saint Hubbins- the Patron Saint of Quality Footwear.
1:26...on bass drums, Skippy Scuffleton, PRAY FOR HIM!
That made me shoot soda from my nose.
He wont make it to their first break😂
No it didn't@@OklaZonie
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.
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.
Man. if only John Entwistle was alive to take part in this epic bass jam.
“Take it boys”! The same stupid bass line 😂😂😂
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.
I got a Fever...and the only prescription is ... More Bass
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.
@@KrwiomoczBogurodzicyDouble-neck guitars are quite heavy, although not as heavy as this bass line. 😂
I absolutely love that, after all this time, everyone still goes along with the “joke”.
What joke????😏
You probably dont think Hulk Hogan was the greatest grappler of all time either...do you?!?!?!😁😏

@@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"?
There is nothing more Rock and Roll than this!
An orchestra of bass genius!!
All hittin' the note!!
This might just be the most epic rock performance ever. Ever. Just... ever.
...every bass player in the known Universe.
+dexterinzo Even a few people who don't even play bass.
Mr Robert Trujillo ACTUALLY on the bass lmfao
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
I am a bassist. This... this makes me happy.😁
All your bass are belong to us.
🤣
What you say?!
"Eventually everyone does Madonna!" Hahahahahaha.
Absolutely the SILLIEST and most entertaining band in the entire world!! \m/ SPINAL TAP \m/
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.
How can I leave this behind?
I saw her on Monday, twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean.
I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day
You know what I mean.
My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game's waiting there inside her tights.
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about mud flaps
My gal's got 'em.
Big bottom
Drive me out of my mind.

I always thought it was “big torpedo.”
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.
And on bass, Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys!
Best jam session on earth!!
Basst jam session
"..Eventually..everybody does Madonna.. " (Always could use more bass!!)
I'm sure she has a cowbell in there as well....
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!
I would've loved to have been there and heard and felt all of those basses! I bet it was phenomenal!
This is Queen at Live Aid-level.
"On bass drums Skippy Skullfulton...pray for him!!"
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!
Fantastic! Every great bass player in the world all doing Big Bottom with Spinal Tap! LOVE IT!
Not the world but the known universe.
"How could I leave this behind." 😅😅
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
It must be buried in the pile of comments. Someone once dropped one here that read: "This is like the complete opposite of "...and Justice for All." True that.
Picked up my bass and played along with this video.
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.
On the bass... Classic!!! Long live The Tap!!!
Greatest prog metal act ever. Cheers mates.
More of a metal prog act really.
Spinal Tap, the greatest rock band in the world!!!
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.
sounds so good.. there amps must be at 11
Because you know I'm all about that bass.
on bass drums skippy scuffleton. pray for him
Unfortunately, Lars couldn’t make the show
Imagine Jason Newsted watching three members of Metallica all playing bass, and Lars not taking the bass out of the mix. Has to sting
They probably have Lars tied up so he can't do that
Spinal Tap the best
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
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
This is awesome. Weird and awesome. I’m glad all these guys played ball.

Shameful
I hope they remembered to put the cooling fans on medium setting.

Spinal Tap: The Only Americans who can Properly do a British Accent
Oi! I can do one too bellend!
@ObeliskL10 No such thing as a British accent, but an English accent.

Happy Nigel Tufnel Day! 11/11/11. How can we leave this behind?
The ground must have been rumbling from all that bass!
I'm getting goosebumps watching this.
They don’t write classics like this anymore!

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?"
why wasnt i invited !? i would have definitely appeared if asked !! clearly i wasnt contactable ....shame xx
, I am really digging that bass guitar with 6 pick ups
Mca spinal tap and metallica so awesome
"or so I have read" Like there is a scientific peer reviewed journal on this...There should be.
The most iconic song ever…! 😂😂
was lucky enough to see it,right at the front as well :)
Spinal Tap are so underrated.
You had to go and ruin it
This is the best thing I've seen in a long time.

James Hetfield on the Bass guitar, Kirk Hammett on the Bass Guitar, Robert Trujillo on the Kazoo... :D
Hi there, I’m here from Danny Sapko’s Short. Had to check this out.
How epic was that?
So Beautiful...Love you MCA miss you
"On the bass.... On the bass... On bass...." 😂😂😂
Spinal Tap, The most awesome band that NEVER existed. The Folksmen are the second best band that NEVER existed.
Where's "bad news" on your list?
@@melthebelgian.5837maybe it's just like the band. Never existed?
I actually had tickets to see Spinal Tap live way back when, the event was canceled because the drummer actually broke his arm. What are the odds?!
THAT IS A WHOLE LOTTA BASS
Best song ever written.
This is awesome, this should be watched with the volume turned-up to....ELEVEN!!
Very cool, love the bass!
"Skippy Scuffleton" There's a name for the ages.
Yet another reason why Spinal Tap is the greatest band of all time.
lol - On bass drums Skippy Skuffleton....pray for him!
this is truly hilarious. gotta watch while drunk
'Or so I have read'. Haha.
'She fits me like a flesh tuxedo'. Haha.
I was really hoping for shots of bass players spanking other bass players before the big finish. Still awesome.
Wow, this is amazing.
This is glennn fricker's nightmare
Thanks for that observation. It's supposed to be for fun, and funny.
