My dad will never forget seeing The Bonezone opera at Carnegie Hall. The case rode a real viking ship up from the aisles to the stage. Unfortunately the slope was too much the ship rolled out of control through the audience. My father would never forget it. No really, he still wakes up screaming about wanting out of the bonezone.

Aisles

[@DerivativeWorker]

@@sublimeade Thanks, I was blanking on that one.

[@fnym9rdsavsffdik9a25]

@@DerivativeWorker I thought for a moment that you was talking about the time they tore down the Carnegie hall, rebuilt it at the Niagara Falls and they had the famous Niagara Falls performance where they was standing on the Viking ship performing Bone Zone but sadly the steering motor on the Viking ship went out and the ship's backup security wires to the mainland failed leading to the ship careened to the side with the whole ship with the troup went over the water falls sadly leading to the death of the great Richard Slammer RIP Dick, your gorgeous voice could seduce men and women, he sadly passed young at 30 somehting year old, a great loss to late 1960's opera, there have never been a better performer than Richard

[@DerivativeWorker]

@@fnym9rdsavsffdik9a25 Some say you can hear Slammer singing Bonezone whenever a Viking ship is about to slam into a building.

[@hulkasaurus]

I hear you man my dad still wakes up in cold sweats yelling bonezone.

[@Procopius464]

If you look at the first movement of Rigoletto with Pavarotti, they actually wear all sorts of bling for that.

The BONE-FATHER Part 1!!!!!

[@painkilleradict]

Every song a banger.

[@Trismegistoaureo]

I had to wait for the 4th act for the revelation that the BONE ZONE is the ZONE where we BONE. Now that's a masterclass in suspense! Bravo!

[@sinclairwhitbourne2090]

Sir, you have nailed it. Many muff their opening lines. After the premiere performance at La Scala (which I saw as an impoverished student, slipping in the backdoor) on Christmas Eve 1969 ('Bone Natalie', as the locals say), there was a little controversy as to whether the librettist, Bono Vox, had allowed the complex themes to create an impenetrable text. There were some who said that Sonny Bono would have written something with more thrust, something harder. There were and continue to be a spread of views, but I think it is hard to ignore the magnificence of this seminal text. Yes, it is complex, there are so many themes that one can easily miss the key concept that you have, so adroitly (if I may say so) identified, but when there is a lot to say that matters, the text surely must reflect this. Those who say otherwise are boneheads. There is the tragedy that Bono's other opera libretto, 'Gloryhola', never really stood up in the public imagination. Sliding into a deep hole, he rose to the challenge, beavered away for a decade, often travelling into the bush for inspiration, stuck at it, pounded away at his demons, before coming exactly where and when needed with Poo, Too, subsequently renamed/bowdlerized to U2 (the PR guy loved submarines), a band who knew how to bring an anthemic song to a climax. Some say he also worked for a band called Rising Force, but I don't know - the evidence is slippery.

[@stopmessingwithyt]

Spoiler alert!

[@sightlessfate2981]

Thank you for giving us this preview of the next Nightwish album

[@nickwiora8214]

The 4th act when they brought in that black dude was insane, my wife and i will nevee forget seeing the bone zone on 42st

[@morbidbabel]

I love the structure of the sounds and lyrics. Nice choice with opera.

[@johnboyle1513]

All the greats from Mario Lanza to Pavarotti have attempted Bonezone-apparently it's one of the most challenging operas ever written!!!

[@johnboyle1513]

Opera buffs believe it was the pressure of doing three performances of Bone Zone a day that triggered Mario Lanza's notorious over eating binges

[@hellmasterx]

Only la creme of the creme can understand the passion behind such high class art as the Bone Zone the Opera.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Okay, the first line made me crack up. Of course, the, "Aw, Fuck yeah(s)..." Hilarious, to hear this in an operatic vein. And, these dudes in these pictures are pimpolicious. To hear this premiere on a Sunday morning, no less. PERFECT. Thank you again...

[@HardArchiveVinyl]

@@anthonyyoutubefan7567 Cheers Anthony!

[@radiokaizo]

In a interview Enrico Palazzo was asked "why you always use sunglasses in the opera?" Enrico answer surprised: "Finally somebody look over my belt! HAHAHA!" comment without answering the question.

[@schrodingersgat4344]

That this was cut from (both) "Phantom of The Opera" and "Phantom of The Paradise" is a disservice to both.

[@zach7193]

Can I just say that this song is so good? Bone Zone, Yeah!

[@noagill3560]

0:45 Act 2 is the best

[@Morocco_Mo]

Apologies, good sir, but can you tell us which zone it is that we bone?

[@RIDETHESUNSHINE]

BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!!!

[@Pantheragem]

When Beethoven was writing his 9th, this is what he really wanted to close out with, but the world just wasn't ready. Oddly enough, Mozart actually did write stuff like this, for himself.

[@sinclairwhitbourne2090]

But it does give new meaning to 'Ode to Joy'.

[@sinclairwhitbourne2090]

One fears what they would make of the nursery rhyme 'old mother Hubbard went to the cupboard, to give her dog a bone'.

[@TravisHamilton-e9u]

This song is just in time for Halloween. It's about skeletons in the cemetery...right?

[@peterzweers2582]

??? Strange question. Ofcourse what else can he possibly mean.

[@Kside22]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂do you know the comic Adam Ray(Dr phil kill Tony) he says fuck yeaah in the coolest way. Once again thank you for Great content ❤

[@PimpCasketIndustries]

Ha ha, this is the best! 😂😂😂 What a twist!

[@GregoryHunter-ji2xt]

Bone-hemium Rhapsody!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JohnEvans-xg2bp]

Listen to the Bone Zone of the night...

[@earlwallingford7776]

Oh fuck yeah!

[@beerguy177]

they brought back the bone zone 😂 I only saw that on family guy

[@jarcuadanantus28]

That thumbnail makes me feel like we need A.I. to music-ify Dracula flow.

[@heavymetalknight3728]

Nice! In the future can you do something fantasy themed? Like Dungeons and Dragons and Conan?

[@HardArchiveVinyl]

Absolutely, good suggestion. I'll try to make some Heavy Metal looking art for it. Cheers!

[@chipsclips7418]

⁠@@HardArchiveVinyl This one should hold up well…. “Squirt master flex” title and lyrical chorus hook . To the tune of “Baby got back” by Sir Mix A Lot. Please You could have a field day of ideas off that Mack Daddy album honestly.

[@ElPirato]

I feel that Brook from One Piece would sing this and treat it as a skull joke

[@triplewave5214]

I was expecting some sort of skeleton theme when I attended this opera. How was I supposed to know to bring a lady? And to make matters worse the vocalists kept singing “bozo” in my direction.

[@Limitedlinkz]

Fuck Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY NEED TWO WORDS "BONE ZONE!" Act 2 is the best, but the fuck yeahs from act 3 are the best. Remind me of fluffy and his son lol oh yeah! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@corydee123]

I know where im taking my girlfriend tonight.

[@theskarletpinkernel5745]

Where?

[@GregoryHunter-ji2xt]

Three words-Tony Award Nomination!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@sinclairwhitbourne2090]

This opera was a significant influence on a young, absurdly pretentious singer in Ireland who named himself Bono and his band Poo, Too.

[@geroldgrimel4811]

0:34 Is that you, John Belushi?!

[@chaptmc]

This is amazing and hilarious! is there a remix in the works with this and Vinesauce Joel's Skeleton Metal X version?

[@HardArchiveVinyl]

There'll probably be a Halloween version of Bone Zone

[@chaptmc]

@@HardArchiveVinyl That sounds awesome! I hope it comes together in an amazing way! I can imagine such a remix. What happens when this variant mixes with a metal version about a Skeleton Bar basically if that route was taken XD.

Act 5 is for real my favorite! Need more opera style! Need a dame drives like shit in opera!

[@HardArchiveVinyl]

Excellent idea Cheers!

[@albertomartin2446]

Someone to explain me where do those songs come from please? Are AI made or what?😂 Si alguien lo sabe y habla castellano perfecto

[@albertomartin2446]

Thanks but would you explain me? My english is quite poor but i understand. I've understood almost of those songs by hard archive. LOVE black humour and lack of correction

[@johnboyle1513]

They come from the zone where we bone

[@KilroyEdits]

Man I remember Luciano Pavarotti belting out this masterpiece in 1995 as a surprise on a PBS pledge drive.

[@peterzweers2582]

Like yesterday! The world still might not be ready for this masterpiece.
