TopGear Band - Red Light Spells Danger

[@manhisdawg4407]

So I worked for the company (Arbiter) that supplied all the drum gear for this and I spent 2 days with them at the studio helping Jezza prepare and also setup his kit for him. To answer some questions: 1. Yes he was really bad, it took over an hour and about 20-30 runs through the song to get enough footage, but he had only had a handful of lessons and he was nervous as hell. I was behind the stage shouting counts to try and keep him in time!! 2. Yes the kick drums are setup the wrong way, that’s how he wanted them. 3. Hammond is a really solid bass player. 4. James May is a great Pianist. It was a brilliant couple of days and they were all really nice people.

Honestly for a person who only had a few lesson...... and is also called Jezza....... Jeremy actually wasn’t too bad.

Hammond seems like a pretty could Bass player as well and of coarse we know May is good on piano.

I miss these three presenters.

[@AbdulAZADChowdhury]

The greatest DJ this country has ever produced , spent a great many days during the 80s listening to Steve Wright in the afternoon, he was once said the music ,well that just speaks for itself...it was the magnificent way he entertained his listeners in a way no other DJ could ....The GOAT of the airwaves ..and this intro to his show simply the greatest intro of them all , I so wish I could have that as my ringtone....RIP Steve ,you gave countless millions so much joy for many decades

[@E4RLIES]

Just heard Billy’s version on radio and had to come back here! ❤😂👌🏼

[@P1Hyper]

you couldn't have asked for a better trio to present the biggest and most entertaining motoring show...in the world! Clarkson, Hammond and May, what a great combination. Top Gear will always be my favourite TV show....in the world!

[@GazcoybUTFT]

you need to get out more top geard is hosted by 3 snobs

[@nos9846]

Richard Hammond is actually a alright bass player 😂😂

[@Dudhew]

Hammond plays it really good (:

[@tadworthhub2721]

a great humour

[@patrickdelaney3961]

Big respect to the singer Justin as well..put his ego aside for that one and sounded great!

[@ethanbulcock3634]

I'm really impressed at the talent of jeremy, it really showed that his snare and kick were always timed perfectly throughout!! Where the much easier to control hi hat was timed horribly all the way through 😂 bless him

[@Simon-Zephyr]

This was significantly better than I expected it to be.

[@charlie891]

cant even lie top gear is a brilliant band name

[@tjreeve9024]

Hammond can play can play bass very well the ending from him was impressive

[@dom2331]

It s incredible how happy the chaps are looking. Everytime they look at each other i have to smile. And the whole atmosphere, the qualtiy of filming back in 2007 shows the real old top gear. Produced with heart, love and great british humor. And this isn‘t even the car show only a spin off... You know what i mean.😅

[@vakvanya1]

holy shit I mean we knew May was a musician but I certainly didn't expect Hammond to be such a great basist

[@victoriamichellefrances1345]

I love this ! I can`t believe I have never seen this until now. Absolutely MEGA.

[@joeplayedthis]

The look on James May's face starting at 3:33! 😂 After having read how long it took to capture enough footage, the final version isn't half bad, really. I enjoy watching this. I've been a drummer for a long time, and this would've been a lot of fun to play along to.

[@bipbong2906]

3:40 JERMY, YOU MADLAD, SYNCOPATING THE SNARE WHAT A MAN

[@poshandrepressed2491]

It sounded like he knew what he was doing for that 1/8 of the bar ;)

[@Halliday57]

I love when the camera show their faces and they’re absolutely terrified.

[@donkeysophiageorge6532]

I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY 😭😭 When I was young, I used to tell people that Top Gear had a band on their show once and everyone told me it must've been another show I'd seen, to the point I believed them. Scrolling through KZbin I see this, and it's exactly how I remembered it! Except I was too stupid at the time to realise exactly who was on stage 😅

[@DarienSeminoff]

The 29 people who disliked that have no heart.

[@davidchapman760]

Probably the new top gear crew :P

[@natw9363]

+David Chapman No, there's thirty seven of them

[@davidchapman760]

XD

[@DarienSeminoff]

Nathan Warn Isn't it six now?

[@ameliarufus1056]

Darien Seminoff that would be the BBC

[@Harris90]

Classic Top Gear. Love it.

[@sueroche2411]

Top gear rendition, brilliant

[@lukesmith7398]

Beautiful lady and talented...very very talented. Love this song

[@rubenmortimore5401]

wait who do you think is the lady 😭

[@AfterglOw-1977]

😂

[@AfterglOw-1977]

It's a guy.

[@morganagrave]

This is brilliant. I mean, top gear and Justin from the darkness. This really proves that this is was the best show ever.

[@morganagrave]

Also Jeremy as a drummer, here is a tip that might help. If you are playing only one drum or cymbal you use both sticks. :)

[@dirkzivinsky7374]

1:27 I was crying laughing! 😂

[@Amm17ar]

I gotta say, this makes me so sad. Never watched it live, but I miss being a kid watching these three. I miss my childhood. Lifes gotten so hard and sad and I cant remember what it feels like to be happy, and my childhood wasnt exactly the happiest.....But damn I miss it so much cuz it was better than this. I wanna go back so bad. I want a redo.

[@daviebananas1735]

You need to let go of the imagined past. It was just as bad. Concentrate on improving the present and future. Moping and reminiscing does no one any good.

[@Amm17ar]

@@daviebananas1735 No point, damage has been done already and I cant go back. I dont plan on being around much longer anyway. Ive got nothing to live for.

[@daviebananas1735]

@@Amm17ar nobody can go back. Your life will always be miserable with your attitude. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and feel grateful. You are much better off than many in this world. Be humble and work hard.

[@tiagojosefcp]

Still better than one direction

[@pvultureb8341]

You must be deff or something. Even though I don't like One erection, I'm quite sure its million mile ahead of these puppets.

[@AnActualCapybara]

Pvulture b Nah. Get them a drummer who can keep rhythm and they'd be a pretty solid act to be honest.

[@pvultureb8341]

***** ok; Mrstig691.

[@Schmidteren]

Also better than two directions.

[@johndean8214]

Better than going in different directions.😂

[@zigwoo999]

Oh my 😂 well done to you all,clarkson being bit of a bafoon but plays the drums well,hammond and may are just so comfortable in what they are doing and just so awesome!! Mr justin singing brilliantly 😁👍 i do hope if top gear comes back these 3 are back to their old tricks ❤ well done mentlegan frikking awesomly lovely 👍❤️

Jezza never needs to be sorry. Anyone who is willing to try something new is gold.
