Bad News - Warriors of Genghis Khan/Video Shoot

Description

[victorguerra]

Ade Edmondson's singing voice sounds like a younger, shy version of Lemmy, just starting his first band.

As a metal head back in the 80s I can categorically state that Bad News was more true to life (embarrassingly) and funnier than Spinal Tap ever was...

'Burning, looting, rapeing and a shooting'. Genius. Even Slayer couldnt write lyrics that good 😂 Its actually a catchy song. I like that they're all dressed like Motorhead.

Got reminded by a friend of this gem. The song itself is actually not half bad. Compared to the utter shite we are constantly fed today this is really refreshing.
P.s.
I'm old😂

Can’t help thinking of the young ones and the impact that had on me. British humor was in a class of its own. I thank god I was young when it all happened. Thanks all of you over the pond.

Fantastic stuff- the original episode pre-dated Spinal Tap and many of the scenes are just as good if not better. The above "video" with the interview cut in is genius

[michaelstevenson]

Whose still listening to this clasic in 2042? No auto tune, no lip sinking. Just puer tallent! My Uncle Reg loves this song - I sang it at his funeral! Well I did until Aunt Cheryl broke my jaw.

How is it at all possible that this song/video has less than 10K views. That's sacrilegious, especially with those lyrics. You'll never forget them, that's for sure!

We were metal heads in the mid 80's and we used to drink lots of 'cheap' beer, smoke as much 'expensive' dope as we could afford and laugh our bollox of at Bad news. Great days and a great song. Brings back many 'not' guilty memories.

I think that's a young jennifer Saunders interviewing the band!? Great video with "political lyrics" lol!

[HagbardCeline]

"Wait a minute! It says 'sausages' up there!"

[boombunmi]

I played in a metal band in the late 80's early 90's. Playing originals influenced by Faith No More, Living Colour, Chilli Peppers etc. We used to cover Warriors because we loved the comedy from The Comic Strip. It always got a good reaction

[steviejinx]

Better than what's in the charts rgt now.

[MB-ocnw]

The directors thick Scottish accent makes it even funnier for some reason..

[seanhayes]

Action action
Sorry I was watchin spider on the bike

I’ve been looking forward to FINALLY seeing this video ever since I watched it back in the day. Absolutely hilarious 😆- yet a fantastic song! A metal anthem! 👍
Thank you so much!!!
