I could play "Stairway To Heaven" on the guitar when I was 14. Jimmy Page didn't write it until he was 28. I think that says a lot.

I have just watched Bad News for the first time in about a year and it never ceases to amaze me. In the tradition of Spinal Tap there is a tour, a camera crew, and a terribly clueless band.

Bad News was created for the British television show The Comic Strip Presents. They went on to play together as a band from 1983-1988. The band toured and released an album, consisting of rock songs and frequent fighting with the band's members. Brian May of Queen produced the record, which included a cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Its members were Vim Fuego (aka Alan Metcalfe), vocals and lead guitar (played by Adrian Edmondson); Den Dennis, rhythm guitar (Nigel Planer); Colin Grigson, bass (Rik Mayall); and Spider Webb, drums (Peter Richardson)

I love The Young Ones, The Dangerous Brothers, and Bottom...but nothing compares to Bad News!



I promise even better than Spinal Tap!

I would stalk Bruce Campbell if I wasn't so lazy.

Yes! I would stalk Bruce Campbell if I wasn't so lazy. I believe him to be one of the greatest B movie actors of all time. I actually own a tombstone prop from "My Name is Bruce" (Thanks Tyler). Well now that I think of it Tyler wouldn't tell me where he lives so maybe it's his fault I have never stalked Bruce Campbell. I unthank you Tyler.
