  • And now for something completely different: Bad News Playing "Bohemian Rhapsody"

    This is a pre-spinal tap spoof on the hair metal scene.

    The lads play a classic Queen cover and discuss their rubbish contract!


    You might recognise some of the actors from the Young ones. Ade Edmondson, Rik Mayal and Nigel Planer. They hired Brian May to produce this parody on all what Queen stood for.

    Oh yeah that's also Brian May playing that solo...

    Classic. I watch Bad News and listen to it, all the time. I converted my buddy's VHS copy to disk, and downloaded all the tracks to the album. I am a big Young Ones fan, as is the rest of my band, and this is required viewing. Much better than Spinal Tap, in my book.

        That is funny. Is that a model 5 in that video? Thanks for sharing!
        Just one more guitar!

          What made me laugh even more was that they were above Warlock on the bill for the year they played Donnington's Monsters of Rock!

            "I was 20 when i learned to play Stairway to heaven, Jimmy page didn't write it until he was 22, I think that says something"

            classic!!!

              Always cracks me up when I watch either of the episodes!

                Bad News were great, especially the 2nd installment when they play Donnington!
                Popular is not the same as good
                Rare is not the same as valuable
                Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

                      I was there when they played at Donington, it was hilatious. I picked up the 1st cd a few weeks back funnily enough too.
