  • I started puberty minutes after watching my first Kids in the Hall show.

  • Fuck. I remember watching this as a kid.

  • Canada in 1989....

  • you can tell this was before nirvana. they talk about bell biv devoe on this show. remember how, before grunge, r & b and rap were the most popular? my fav. cds before grunge were bell biv devoe, boys 2 men, public enemy, das efx, boyz n the hood and juice soundtracks.

  • classic Bobby Terrance ....how long has "rock" got

  • These Canadians are just jealous cause they only had Glass Tiger and Brian Adams!

  • @DasGoldenBoy We just so happen to have greats such as Rush, April Wine, Kim Mitchell, and Neil Young too!

  • @siggyline Ok, I've heard of Neil Young, I have seen Rush and I vaguely remember April WIne from the early 80's and Kim Mitchell after a Wikipedia search proves to be a guitarist but none of his works are any that I can recall of hearing. totally cannot razz Neil Young or Rush, April Wine I could if I wanted but my oldest brother liked them so I shall not. I happen to LOVE the KITH, Canadian comedic contributions are far more important to me than their musical ones. Please watch KITH In America

  • @siggyline 1 out of 4 aint bad.

  • I love how many musical "experts" there are on YouTube.

    Haha......

  • @patton303 i know somebody who claims he's a music "analyst, historian and producer,"...he's 19, 'produces' a college internet radio show and doesnt know any music that predates rap

  • 3 years after this sketch, the Spice Girls hit the charts. Truly, the death cry of good music.

  • @jessemaurais Oh please, don't act like shitty pop music didn't always dominate the charts. There was shitty music on top when this sketch was made. There was shitty 50's pop, 60's pop, 70's pop, 80's pop, shitty 1874 pop and there's shitty music now on top of the charts (I don't really know but there has to be). Shitty music and pop always dominated. But thank god for the internet (at least in that aspect) because people find better music easier. It's not a hassle to find music anymore.

  • @Yesiamblind It was a joke.

  • jazz rocks... if you disagree just stick to your brittney spears or justin beaber i dont care

  • its funny how he foresaw this, only rap and pop became famous, not jazz.

  • And Garth is born

  • Dave Foley is cute.....Wowwwww. ^_^

  • @MorbidBliss22 I actually had to watch that twice because the first time 'round I was too distracted by how gorgeous he is to pay attention to what he was saying.

  • Hated Nirvana(while the subject is here), totally bleached everything I loved about Rock completely out of the picture. Instead lets all wear plaid and horn rimmed glasses, do heroine and write songs in exactly the same format, on guitars that won't stay in tune because we are using piano wire instead of proper string. Yeah..not everyone likes what happened to rock when Nirvana came.. I personally hated Curt Kobain and Pearl Jam for that matter. I Liked Alice In Chains though =)

  • Here's an example of Jazz influence in Metal:

    Original Megadeth members Chris Poland (lead guitar) and Gar Samuelson (drums) were jazz musicians before joining Megadeth. Listen to the albums they were on (which were the first 2, "Killing is My Business...and Business is Good" and "Peace Sells...But Who's Buying").

    Some of those time shifts and arrangements, also heard in other metal and progressive rock, have some jazz roots (and blues), whether they know it or not.

  • hahahhahahHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH­A JAZZ MY ASS!!!!

    dimmu borgir, slayer, gwar, amon amarth. five finger death punch, kalmah,

    NOT JAZZ

  • @purplepimp777 I would like to submit that you don't know a lot about Jazz.

  • @purplepimp777 lol are you the kid in that video?

  • I still rock, so what if it's not the most popular any more?. There's still good rock music coming out all the time.

  • @MrROTD Not really. :(

  • Ethnic Music

  • I love how he thinks the cow is at the top of the food chain. Endearing.

  • Rock music has been replaced by lame-ass pop for little girls.

  • @kobakommander I'd way rather have Jazz than the lame-ass pop of today. Why, oh WHY couldn't Mr. Gorgenchuk be right?!

  • @OneStarRatingLTD Because he can't play flute very well.

  • This is my favorite KITH sketch.

  • Please tell me his shirt says "Hooser Hell"

  • @mistywren No, I think it says "Choose Hell." You can see the C around 1:20.

  • "If Rock and Roll doesn't reinvent itself, then it probably deserves to die."

    - Gene Simmons.

    I'm not much of a Kiss fan, but I actually agree with that quote.

  • @Billinois78 yea but gene simmons probably thinks KISS is rock n roll, like as a whole.

  • @thefriendsociety Well, I don't see them NOT being R n R

  • @MetallicBill i thought he was trying to kill it..

  • @thefriendsociety In the Immortal words of Ozzy O, You Can't Kill Rock N Roll. AMEN

  • @MetallicBill Did you see the Osbournes? maybe you can't kill Rock N Roll but you can turn it in a sad retard zombie like Ozzy in that show or like the must of the "so called" rock of these days.

  • Choose Hell LOLOLOLOL

  • This is my attitute of music nowadyas according to Mr. Gorkenchuck

  • Jazz flute? What about THE TULL!?! Rock Will Never Die - Michael Schenker Group. Actually, that study was done before Guitar Hero! hahaha

  • My opinion is better than yours!

  • @Jinnai89 The Pogues mentioned in two KITH skits, but what about The Tragically Hip?!? I thought they were monsters. Then you have Bryan Adams and Rush, and VoiVod, and Helix are rockin The Great White North. My opin rules too! haha

  • @MetallicBill wait...bryan adams?

  • @thefriendsociety Yeah, I give Bryan props, dude

  • Hahaha, sadly this reminds me of myself. Though I do like jazz, too...anything that's actually music.

    This is great. XD KITH is the best.

  • I would agree that they weren't too far off-rock was no longer God after 1996(maybe 97ish).

    Rock is still going, mind you, but it has long been swept under the rug for pop/rap/hip hop.

    Hell, I think country has more of a general following then real rock does at this point, and even country is a watered down(somehow even more generic) version of itself.

    When was the last time the "cool" kids at school were fans of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, the Stones or the Doors?

  • @bearglove419 Dang straight. Now it's all about Lady Gaga, Justin Beiber, etc. Can't even hang out with my friends without them beating Lady Gaga into my head. It's awful what people are listening to today.

  • @bearglove419 Those ARE THE COOL kids, because great rock is TIMELESS amen

  • those damn ethnics!!!! (mandatory Youtube ignorance!)

  • Is that a soft focus on Dave?

    It adds even more to his dreaminess. How devious.

  • Heavy Metal has been around for about 40 years, and its managed to survive like a cockroach in the underground, whereas highly popular music forms like disco, new wave, pop punk, the latin explosion and the swing revival have either died or are dying.

    I think that rock has survived fairly well. :)

  • Jethro Tull

  • @cookmoore= I loved him in the Beverly Hillbillies. Rock and roll isn't dead. The dignity of MTV is. I remember when MTV started fgoing down the toilet. I started playing techno and "gulp" country music on my radio.

  • Ha. So they weren't too far off. This sketch was 1990 I think. Rock started falling fast about 1994/1995 and was dead by about 2000. Too bad that jazz hasn't seen a big revival in the wake of rock's death. I wish our living genres were something other than pop and rap.

  • "you sir,are my Nemesis!"

  • I like how he mentions that Rock will die by the time Bobby graduates. In a way, it's true. Lots of people's high school love for Rock fizzles out after they graduate. Or once they're done university.

  • This is a personal favorite of mine.

    The Bruce McCulloch character in this sketch, Bobby, today would be the kind of guy who talks about how "technical" metal music is as if that automatically made it good. Hang around any metal band message board and see for yourself. Good stuff.

  • Dave Foley is fucking awesome!

    The other dick needs to be dropped.

  • Love this sketch. Plus, Bruce's "Choose Hell" shirt is gnarly.

  • lets say you have 12 beer, OH OK! lmao

  • Four Beers represents the Pogues? That ain't enough booze!!

  • Well he is speaking proportionally. He does give the Pogues a third of All the beer there is. -But I see your point. :)

  • I think this skit first aired about a year or two before Grunge made it big.

  • Bruce McCullough always had great facial expressions in his sketches.

  • BOno wants to police the INternet and watch what you do.

    Perhaps Rock died and Bono is fastly becoming a dicatator of some sort.

    I used to watch this show all the time on Comedy Central. Boo yaa!

  • If you spent millions doing a movie and you don´t have another job, then your movie is available free over the internet, do you enjoy the idea about work for free ?

  • rock is dead...RIP rock

  • did he say the pogues? I love the pogues!

  • it's so true is the funny thing

  • Let's say you have 12 beer......

  • Dave is right, if you nurse rock long enough your musical tastes can branch out. I've come to like some blues and folk because of rock. But I still like rock all the way.

  • Nuclear Assault forever!!!!!!!

  • Oh for gods sake.

    Every single generation says "HOMG MUSIC SUCKS NOW" once they reach a certain age.

    Music (and for that matter many other artforms) do not increase or decrease in quality. They are just in a constant state of evolution, changing shape every decade or so.

    Every incarnation of music has their brilliant artists and their posers. There is quality and shit in every genre of every decade.

  • Don't you think it's a little weird that you just state that music is always changing but deny that it can change for the worse?

    Anyway, it's not that music as a whole takes a dive, it's that old genres either vanish or become stagnant. Look at the kind of sad stereotype that "indie rock" became. Or how quickly grunge died with Kurt Cobain.

    On top of that, the music industry caters to people who are too young to have any taste. That's what people are growing out of, the easy sell apparatus.

  • @fratleyiskewl I was ready to agree with you, right up until that last sentence. Sadly, I think each generation's taste in most things artistic, especially music, has been declining in recent decades. I think it started in the late '70s or early '80s, when the music business started becoming more marketer-driven than market-driven.

  • great skit my thoughts exactly i mean remakes and pop artists played on Z104 (Madison WI, Radio Station) are destroying the music that used to be good and the young people take for granted.

  • People don't even realize the extent to which Jazz influenced Rock.Maybe not the dixieland or swing stuff, but you can definitely hear Coltrane in a lot of bands that came after.

  • i don't know many rock fans that don't also secretly like jazz

  • Dude I like pretty much anything. Rock music is obviously my favorite but I like Miles Davis and John Coltrane. There's nothing to hide. Usually the people who really like music and sometimes write and play it have that broad horizon. That goes for anyone. Having a large taste in music isn't a bad thing.

  • Secretly? Meshuggah is clearly influenced by Allen Holdsworth. what about dillinger escape plan and the million other prog bands with clear jazz leanings. So many metal heads like jazz because like metal, it can be challenging. I'm a die hard Coltrane fan, and a metal head til I die!

  • LOL!!!!!!

  • Bruce is the funniest

  • yay jazz!

  • We have our annual Kurt's dead party on September 11th.

  • love it

  • That perfectly describes the state of music in the 80s. Good thing Nirvana came along and saved rock.

  • saved more than rock. so many fucked up youths during those years, myself included, nirvana was an escape worthy of its namesake.

  • Actually, just as a personal opinion, I kind of liked it before Nirvana. I mean Nirvana is good and all, but 80's metal is awesome.

  • Do you like Guns N Roses, Dio, or Metallica? I mean I like 80's metal(not the satanic songs) Even the artist though that were mainly from 70's and 60's seemed to write some of their best material in the 80's. Zeppelin's Kashmir. Sabbath's Heaven and Hell, the late Who's Bargain Oreily. even The Wall and London Calling didn't come out until the very late 70's. Quite honeslty in retrospect, I just don't like Nirvana that much so I guess I really shouldn't posting. Thts just my opinion though.

  • No, I don't like any of those bands. And the Wall was still the 70s.

  • fair enough then

  • Peter Gabriel, Oingo Boingo, and Devo. Frank Zappa was still making records. Music was alive in the 80's, just had to know where to look.

  • I think the pop and regular rock of the 80's sucked, with a few exceptions (R.E.M., Pretenders, a few others), but it was the golden age of heavy metal. Yeah, there was that stupid hair metal too, but Iron Maiden, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Black Sabbath with Dio on vocals, Van Halen (NOT Van Hagar!), Judas Priest, Def Leppard, S.O.D., Ozzy (solo), and others recorded their greatest stuff in the 80's. You can't let Bon Jovi and Phil Collins ruine it for you.

  • i thought u 2 was soft rock?

  • muthafuckin WASP

    Celtic Frost and early black metal too

    90s tried to kill rock, but killed itself with the help of Earth(awesome band)

  • @wikiporno dude nirvana sucks

  • @SKAman635 That's like saying Shakespeare was a talentless writer. You suck.

  • @wikiporno I can't believe you think that's a valid comparison.

  • @wikiporno i beg to differ sir, Siouxsie and the banshees, The Cure, The Bauhaus, Sister's of Mercy, Billy Idol, Queen and many others were great and still great before and after Nirvana.

  • @EverStray never heard of them, sucked, never heard, never heard, sucked, overrated.

  • "no, UNNHH, UNNNHHHHH..."

  • if i can't air guitar, then i don't want any air at all

  • Pogues!!!

  • Then you, sir, are my nemesis!

  • When this KITH came out, rock WAS becoming a sad, tired thing that couldn't digest solid food and talked to itself on the bus. It was all Hair Metal and Pop/Dance.

    Then, Sub Pop/Seattle happened.

  • "I have that album!"

    "Of course you do, Bob..."

  • FUCK EMOS!

    real heavy metal cant die

  • Too bad Jazz never rose up and dominated anything. haha

  • Jazz schmazz. Yes, I'm afraid it's come to that.

  • Four of those beer represtent The Pogues. Yeah!!

  • Dave is so right it's sad.

  • Anyone remember how Headbanger's Ball turned to crap in the Nineties? Who branded Jethro

    Tull metal?

  • Lol, I love jazz!!

  • Haha you guys are funny...its a sketch, why are you waxing about rock music????

  • Oh, I love this! Takes me back to being a silly teenager sitting in my room watching KITH and laughing my fool head off.

  • yeah, 'cause when they wrote this in the late 80's early 90's they totally didn't see that arena rock was dead...

  • Wow! I finally heard a real Canadian say "Aboot"!

  • hah! This skit is the epitomy of faggots argueing about music on the internet. "Then you sire, are my nemisis." lol Enjoy using youtube comments for baaawing about why your music is better.

  • then you sir, are my nemesis, lmfao. haha, like rock would ever die.

  • "Twelve Beer"

  • i need cow bell

  • this is true. i used to listen to rock, but for the last 3 years it was nothing but jazz.

  • I love this!!

  • It's funny because it's so damn true, except for the jazz bit - hip-hop and Nashville are king now, and more's the pity.

  • are you for real? bwahahahahaha

    yeah because rock n roll hasn't been around since like the 40's

    Christ!

    I doubt people will be playing Pantera on the radio in 30 years. You cant beat the classics

  • I wasn't saying metal will die out I'm just saying it's not going to be something the majority will remember years from now. It's more underground. When I think rock n roll I think Elvis & you can't honestly compare any metal bands to Elvis. Thats what made me laugh. I Like all types of music, but I'm finding alot of "metalheads" are arrogant & close minded. There are different types of metal for sure but If I'm in a happy fun type of mood- I'm probably going to listen to something else.

  • yah but the difference is that metal fans appreciate old metal and the classic stuff. BUUUUT pop fans and all them pick up and drop favorite songs every week. Who still likes soulja boy?

    that shit is gay

    and im not talking the gay metal fans of like fucking trivium

  • You're right. M.heads appreciate classics and the skill it takes to play it. I just have find that 90% of M.heads only like metal and really judge other people. You did so yourself by calling trivium fans "gay" which is both homophobic and ignorant. People like what they like. I feel bad for anyone who's music library only includes various types of metal & rock. There is so much more. death, speed, black, progressive, classic etc do NOT count as different genres of music. That's a load of bull.

  • i dont only like metal... i just dont lyk the forms of metal that pretend to be metal but are just pop with distortion and screaming. I listen to classical music, rock, guitar stuff, some punk, ska, reggae. And why dont black and death and prog count as diff? they are completely different forms of music, dont discriminate them just because u dont like them. And using the word "gay" is like using the word "fuck". I dont mean it to mean "homosexual" like how "fuck you" doesn't mean "sex you".

  • Noone is pretending to be anything. That's your perception. Music evolves. They count as different types of metal, but you cannot classify yourself as an open minded person who likes different types of music, if you just like different types of metal (one type of music). I never once said I don't like metal. I knew you didn't mean "gay" as in homosexual, and you don't meant it in a derogatory sense, however if you were gay or had gay friends I don't think you'd feel the same way about the word.

  • actually i have a gay guy who's a rly good friend. and honestly, it's oversensitivity that's dumb, not usage of words. And i guess i agree that u cant just like one genre, but that's personal preference. And bands do pretend to be things that they aren't... look at HIM. They say they're love metal but there's nothing metal about them

  • You can like metal and not play metal. it's a personal preference to only like one genre of music, but then don't claim to b open minded right? And who says what's "Metal" anyways. The Beatles were once considered rock music, and now it has a whole different meaning. Who the fuck cares what something is called, You listen to it? you like it? end of story. Grow up with the labels we're not in high school anymore.

  • 1. actually we do define music into categories in case you didn't know. 2.for the changing definitions for genres, countries also change names over time, (eg. Thailand, Siam), does it mean we should not bother to give it a name? Or that anything close to Thailand should be Thai as well? of course not. 3. i never sed u can only like metal if u play it. 4. Metalheads could be open-minded and happen to only like metal. 5. How do u know im not in high school?

  • Naming music genres isn't really the same as naming countries. I realize giving some things labels helps in some respects, but to separate things so anally & get so bent out of shape about it? I've never experienced this with any other people besides "metalheads" for some reason. I don't know if you're in high school or not, I was referring to High School mentality. Immaturity and obsession with cliques. You did say that: "They say they're love metal but there's nothing metal about them "

  • no they claim their genre is called "love metal". not as in "they like metal". but back on the topic at hand. Genres of music. I just think that many bands that now claim to be part of the genre metal are just an insult to it. I realize this may seem anal, but i hate all those bands that just play stuff that just isn't metal. They're killing metal! it's horrible, people now look at bands like "my chemical romance" and say "look at those emo metalheads". This is what i dont like.

  • I have never heard anyone call My Chemical Romance metal. I do agree though that they suck.

  • Badass Bruce. I'm hoping to find the one where he keeps threatening to beat up the pizza guy, then the pizza guy says "hey man I like Led Zeppelin"

  • You know, aside from jazz becoming popular, Dave Foley's predictions were mostly right.

    One of my favorite KITH sketches EVER!!!

  • So much love for this sketch!

    YOU MIGHT AS WELL CUT OFF MY LIMBS, CUT OFF MY LIMBS AND MAIL THEM TO MOTHER RUSSIA.

  • how long has... rock... got?

  • hahaha! love this one! Thnx, I want to see the Laura skit with Bruce as this character

  • does Dave Foley play the flute?

  • ...and then they formed Jethro Tull

  • Thank you so much for posting it! One of my all-time fave KOTH bits. Seeing them tonight, too!

  • And of course by KOTH I meant KITH. Stupid keyboard, typing the wrong letters...

  • you were probably thinking of King of the Hill

  • Tests show that a Beach Boys concert is a very sad thing!

  • 'Cause if I can't air guitar - I don't want no air at all...

    Priceless man, f*%$in' priceless...

  • so deep... lol

  • does anyone know if Bruce's "Jazz Shmazz" thing is on youtube? Used to be, but I can't find it now. Pls, pls upload it, if you've got it!!

  • Best sketch comedy show ever.

  • "How long does...rock..got?"

  • ladies and gentlemen, the yazz flute.

  • that noise bruce makes at the end is amazing

  • "But learn to nurse that beer and before you know it, you'll be loving Jazz"

  • i wish someone would upload the terier song

  • This is one of my favorite KITH sketches EVER!  And it's relevant about today's pop music, too.

  • awesome

  • ..WHaT..?

  • i LOVE when dave starts to play the flute at the end- hilarious!

  • JAZZ NEVER!!!!!
