Bad News - Warriors of Genghis Khan/Video Shoot

Description

[@s3any1977]

'Burning, looting, rapeing and a shooting'. Genius. Even Slayer couldnt write lyrics that good 😂 Its actually a catchy song. I like that they're all dressed like Motorhead.

[@davefb]

laughing at Mrs Edmundson telling Mr Edmundson off for the lyrics :D .

[@johnutter9483]

Can’t help thinking of the young ones and the impact that had on me. British humor was in a class of its own. I thank god I was young when it all happened. Thanks all of you over the pond.

[@ArzHole]

As a metal head back in the 80s I can categorically state that Bad News was more true to life (embarrassingly) and funnier than Spinal Tap ever was...

[@mike196212]

Love SPINAL TAP but these guys are even funnier. I agree.

[@dilligaf1009]

Facts. What good times the 80s were

[@clitering]

This is up there as some of the best work, if not the best work, that my comedy heroes ever produced. What a difference Peter Richardson makes. They are at the peak of their powers

[@MetalDrummer_666]

Bang on, Sir. I have been in bands with members who mirror these characters, which makes this even funnier.

[@Max_Flashheart]

@@mike196212 both happened at the same time but Spinal tap released just before this dammit

[@victorguerra8884]

Ade Edmondson's singing voice sounds like a younger, shy version of Lemmy, just starting his first band.

[@ZeroBudgetFilmSchool]

I still hear Vyvyan

[@junestrickland1478]

My brother actually bleached his hair one year and I nearly choked when I saw Vim Fuego..😂. It was a mirror image of my brother..even my hubby couldn't stop laughing 😅😅😅😅

[@mathiasjonsson8222]

Got reminded by a friend of this gem. The song itself is actually not half bad. Compared to the utter shite we are constantly fed today this is really refreshing. P.s. I'm old😂

[@Forserean]

Yeah, that's the bits I like.

[@ravenclaw8975]

I think that's a young jennifer Saunders interviewing the band!? Great video with "political lyrics" lol!

[@Metallex]

It is indeed! Her and Dawn French also cropped up in the series. And she's still married to our Vim Fuego!

[@oscoe]

These guys were brilliant. RIP Rik x

No you can't ​@ekimnamtnuts

[@michaelstevenson470]

Whose still listening to this clasic in 2042? No auto tune, no lip sinking. Just puer tallent! My Uncle Reg loves this song - I sang it at his funeral! Well I did until Aunt Cheryl broke my jaw.

[@seamustherotty9373]

"Get off we bloody paid for this! Quick eat as much as you can."

[@DB-pv2ej]

We paid for that😂😂

[@luisdelvalle1965]

How is it at all possible that this song/video has less than 10K views. That's sacrilegious, especially with those lyrics. You'll never forget them, that's for sure!

Best metal band ever perhaps

[@MB-oc1nw]

The directors thick Scottish accent makes it even funnier for some reason..

[@caineshaw9317]

His name was Gerrard Kelly, Scottish comedian / actor, he did loads of TV

[@ZeroBudgetFilmSchool]

Nothing funnier than angry Scots accent, ask Peter Capaldi

[@EnchantedEssays]

"No no! Yeh have got tae look meeeean!"

Even when I saw him as the gay theatre dad in Extras I was thinking "No, ye have got tae look mean!" 😂

THE LYRICS, THE LYRICSSSSSSSS

[@geoffpulham5032]

The scary thing was, we kind of liked it...

[@ThursoBerwick]

The riff is good!

[@keithingram4348]

Fantastic stuff- the original episode pre-dated Spinal Tap and many of the scenes are just as good if not better. The above "video" with the interview cut in is genius

[@billschwenke790]

Spinal Tap origins late 1970s I believe and the film didn't take off instantly, it was a Slow Burn but they made it to SNL and I saw that thankfully, Big Bottom and Christmas with the Devil, I think it was May of 1984

[@junestrickland1478]

When my husband showed me the com8c strip presents, team, I could not stop laughing. I remember when they played @ Castle Donnington. 😅😅😅😅

[@richardgale1287]

Just thinking this reminds me of Zodiac Mindwarp, then remembered who directed 'Prime Mover'.

[@Mlotshaw1]

Great band prime mover is an awesome song his version of Feed My Frankenstein is amazing

Well Genghis helped get rid of a lot of political structures so there's that.

[@steviejinx1225]

Better than what's in the charts rgt now.

[@thefonzkiss]

Director went on to play Bunny in Extras, the camp theatre father.

[@GTAFranchise69]

Ade is actually pretty good as a metal singer 🤣🤣

[@chriss2452]

Looks like your regular Whitesnake video

[@gordons-alive4940]

Is that Jennifer Saunders talking about the lyrics? Sounds like her but with the big 80s hair and heavy makeup I'm not sure.

[@delbertogrady6824]

Yes

[@DMSProduktions]

Nigel Planer playing a heavy metal Neil! 'Guys, guys, really decadent right?'

[@gothicm3rcy426]

bad news at donington was friggin hilarious

[@dokkenratt]

A true poetical political song if ever there was one (it's in the lyrics!!)

Bad News - The worst Heavy Metal Band in the world! ("Where is my 50 gran?") 😂😂🤣🤣

[@hilltop69hustler]

Inside everyone of us is a warrior of Genghis Khan waiting to get out!.

[@ThursoBerwick]

It actually has a reference to the Dschinghis Khan Eurovision song in the album version.

[@katoness]

@@fergusdonaghy3124 Well, tap doesn't make me laugh as much as Bad News.

[@fergusdonaghy3124]

@@katoness spinal tap is a lot more subtle. You have to get into the tap universe to really appreciate the genius. There is loads of back story to the film. Tap have continued since the movie so there's loads of material outside the film. I have to admit I was in stitches last night at the hotel and hospital scene in 'more bad news'

[@standoberman]

Vim Fuego (Alan Metcalfe😂) is the best front man ever lol!!!

[@ladida1031]

As Good as Spinal Tap. Exactly my Humor! In Nuernberg i have a Chance to Get the Album on Vinyl.....not Easy to find in Germany.......i will get it as Soon as i get Back to the City. „Burning Looting Raping Shooting“........Amazing! ✌️😄

[@ironmikeUK]

I’ve been looking forward to FINALLY seeing this video ever since I watched it back in the day. Absolutely hilarious 😆- yet a fantastic song! A metal anthem! 👍 Thank you so much!!!

[@duomerikissa3200]

Bad News were parody of metal music, but every real metal band was like parody of every other heavy band. Video just shows parody of it all!

[@utubeape]

Quite a good tactic to do a metal band and release real music, if they sell well they will roll with it, if they bomb then it was all just a piss take

[@Ironworx_ScaleModels]

absolute quality....Vim Fuego....love it!

[@nixgips1042]

My name is Vim Fuego. I let my guitar speak for me! 😂

[@motorbear8022]

Had the pleasure of seeing them at Monsters of Rock, great laugh, my only memory is Ric asking 'What does a man with a 3 foot c%%k have for breakfast? Well I had a boiled egg this morning' Or words to that effect. Anyway Motorhead were great, and Ozzy was F-ing awesome .

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Rik loved that joke…saw him use that in a Bottom blooper reel Then again, this was the man who also sang “So look out you squares…I’m an angry young man! I once showed my Willy to PRINCESS ANNE!” 😂

[@Scarizza]

This video could easily pass as a real Metal video, i wish their was a full version available it is a great track

[@rogerharrison4967]

Absolutely hilarious

[@swinetrek]

A lot more accurate than many people think.

[@Mysterywhiteboy78]

The live drum sound in this version is much better than the album version which seems to be a drum machine and the tempo is slower!

[@chris.bradshaw]

Visually speaking, they ripped off loads of idea from WASP here. The blood/skull and the chained up woman. They're more political though - its in the lyrics.

[@Despondencymusic]

Immortal before Immortal

[@legion2k988]

Classic

[@combrogi]

Castle Donnington '86 what a concert 👍🏼🤘🏼

[@ThursoBerwick]

The late Gerard Kelly as the director there. Well known in Scotland, best known in Extras south of the border.

[@Theduckwebcomics]

Better than 90% of real metal videos and better than 100% of any metal long or video made in the last 30 years

[@ThursoBerwick]

The last bit isn't really true. There was some great metal in the 1990s.

[@mildpigeon]

But I was going baddada like fury 😅

[@blandoworthlessness]

This version is way better than the album version. Without the faster tempo it doesn't compare. It's a real shame they didn't do a full video of the song this little bit is gold.

[@Acrobatdog99]

I like singing along to this song, and shouting I am warrior(Warrior!) of genghis khan! It’s killer!😎

[@joesrustshop4509]

Totally cheesy, and way better than most of the stuff on the radio today.

[@leth9320]

That's actually a great riff!

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Ironically better song and video than a lot of the NWOBHM bands at the time 😂

We were metal heads in the mid 80's and we used to drink lots of 'cheap' beer, smoke as much 'expensive' dope as we could afford and laugh our bollox of at Bad news. Great days and a great song. Brings back many 'not' guilty memories.
