I can't believe a lot of you people don't realise that this is a SPOOF! Yes, it's Neil from The Young Ones (Nigel Planer aka "Den Dennis" supposed guitarist), and its also Vyvyan Bastard (Ade Edmonson, aka "Vim Fuego", supposed lead vocalist and guitarist) and Rik (Rik Mayall, aka "Colin Grigson", supposed bass player): Thats Peter Richardson from Comic Strip playing Spider Webb, the supposed drummer. They released two albums people!

Fish!!! Awesome.

is that all joe can say is yeah?

@Strat642001 Peter Richardson, playing "Spider" in this clip, was originally supposed to portray "Mike" on The Young Ones

I like how Bad News pre-dates Spinal Tap.
I was at this gig. I thought they were brilliant! I don't understand why the metal fraternity (or at least some of it) couldn't 'get' the joke(!) Metalheads were always the one's with a good sense of humour and could even laugh at themselves - what happened? It was never meant to be anything more than comedy. It worked, brilliantly! And yes, all credit is due for getting up there and doing it, amid all that hostility! That took some massive balls! Just lighten up, ppl! Enjoy and smile... (:o)

Brlilliant. I was at Donnington that year, and stood next to a po-faced fucker who shouted "you're bringing down the good name of heavy metal!" during their set. I was in stitches, and they had a lot of balls to get up in front of 70 odd thousand rock fans.
