condemned2bfree Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Has anyone heard of this? I remember it vaguely long ago, but just seen this extra skit. Lots of bands have something to say in this clip. Bit of much needed levity in these times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Yeah I saw it back in the day. It's basically the same people who did The Young Ones, Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson and Nigel Planer. They actually played Donington in 1986 with Ozzy, Def Leppard, Scorpions, Motorhead and Warlock. They got hit with a LOT of bottles. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got hit with a LOT of bottles. Yeah this clip is from Donnington. You can see the many bottles being hurled at them. The bands you mention give their opinion here too. I'm wondering if the famous bands actually got that Bad News were a mock band. They seem so serious in dismissing them. Animal from Motorhead and Ozzy in particular. The bit at the end is hilarious with Neil ( will always think of him out of the Young Ones ) in hospital.

'' the drummer blew himself up'' I think that was the idea to make as many people think it was a real band as possible, especially real bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like that, they took it that far not letting the bands in on it . Guess there's a fine line between.......rockumentary and reality.. Brutal gig for them. Those bottles were sometimes full of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Actually I've watched that clip now and the bands are in on the joke and are just acting. It's all part of the joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmy probably hated them as a comedy team as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy85 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I love just about anything this crew put together. Never seen this, though. I want to know more. I have the Young Ones and Bottom on DVD, had Dangerous Brothers on tape, and have seen a couple of episodes of Filthy Rich and Catflap. What else is there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out The Comedy Club episodes as some has mentioned. Tho the Bad News episode seems the best. imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
