Bad News - Bad News - Live 1983

[@markdouglas9182]

I love Den's perseverance still playing until the end, (or miming playing until the end) when the others had stopped playing and were squabbling. Den continued right through never lifting his fingers out of that barre chord position, and even threw in a few attempts at Pete Townshend leaps and windmills at the end.. Who says the rhythm guitarist wasn't important!?

[@hopebgood]

I saw Bad News live at the Marquee in London. They had Brian May and Jeff Beck come on as guests. In the bar afterwards it was impossible not to bump into a comedy or music legend. A very strange night.

[@vicesquadpunk]

Wow, I wish I had gone. Was working in Denmark St at the time I sold them the bass that I assume Rik smashed up at the end of the gig… 😮

[@hopebgood]

@@vicesquadpunk It was a right laugh mate don't recall any bass smashing tbh but I was probably pissed. All I remember is that they had two nights booked at the Marquee. We saw them the first night and the second night someone threw a glass that cut either Ade Edmondson or Rik Mayall and the gig was abandoned. Well done glass throwing wanker. And you mate....have a good one 😉

[@markdouglas9182]

Yes but all those legends would have been in awe when Fuego, Grigson, Dennis and Webb entered the bar after the gig..

My first band was just like this we were rubbish always arguing they got it spot on 😂

[@trudieharrison4231]

[@rheaandnicdaw4356]

R.I.P Rik awesome B'stard.

[@philipriding]

Love the way they can play their Instruments when they’re not playing them. The drummer…….wow no words can justify. I am not worthy I am not worthy.

[@satyrosphilbrucato9140]

It's like seeing the Damned on Top of the Pops - so much so that I'm willing to bet that infamous DGAF synch-job helped inspire this sketch. 🤣🤣🤣

[@wayek]

BAD NEWS!!!! \m/

[@thedigitalemotion]

What a fucking classic, love love love this!

[@DuderinoDeux]

Should replace the BBC, ITV and Sky news intros! Not the 9 O' Clock news did I watch regularly when I was 8 or 9

[@MRRIllustrations]

I know it's classic comedy - but you can't half hear the Motorhead influence in the 'Bad News' song. RIP Lemmy and Rick.

It is a pity that they didn't do a 20 years on catch up, just like they did with The Famous Five

Den has the wrist action of James Hetfield

Very Metal VYV

[@g.walter1653]

The Way he screams "Bad News"....it reminds me of the early Kurt Cobain ,Nirvana Footage 1989 Green River College. Look it up. Maybe Kurt saw this and thought i do the Same but i act Super Serious. The tall Guy on Guitar also looks a bit like Krist Novoselic . Can anyone Else See that?

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

1:20 Looks like a very young Craig Charles

[@imfpredicts]

There's a reason for that.

[@jockandcarol]

Spiders still not right after stopping fans from beating him up by blowing himself up .

[@cloudfactory2000]

Could they actually play their instruments?

[@yassassin6425]

All but Rik Mayall, yes. Search for 'Ade Edmondson's Bad Shepherds'.
