That Sabbath box set is 1000% worth it.. I bought the original albums when they originally dropped, loved them then and cleaned up, the albums just explode through your speakers. The extras with the set are the icing on the cake.
Bad News were indeed hilarious; Young Ones in heavy metal was a perfect setup. If you liked the Young Ones, be sure to check out "Bottom"-it's Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson at their most ridiculous. Over the top comedy that can't be touched!
Bottom - sounds fun. I will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
The Young Ones, and Bottom are hilarious.
Young Ones and Bottom are great shows. I didn't know Bad News was a thing... Will have to check it out, thanks Frank 🤘
Bad News was indeed better than the totally unfunny Spinal Tap. Unfortunately, they took the joke too far and them getting a slot at Donington was a slap in the face of a real band who would have been more deserving.

Looking forward to The Police 🚔 box set !
It should be a good one.
I picked up the Black Sabbath boxset as well and it’s EXCELLENT. The remasters sound great 🤘
I finally got mine delivered yesterday afternoon and spun them all... I agree, they did a great job on the pressings.
The super deluxe of Synchronicity will definitely end up on sale at some point, so I’d just wait a bit
if you enjoyed Bad News, check out The Young Ones (on TV here in the UK just as I left home to go to college so struck a real chord). Anarchic TV and a cameo from Lemmy and Motörhead in one episode!
Will do - thanks for the tip!
The title of the episode with Motorhead is "Bambi". This is the episode where they went to the laundrette, and went on University Challenge, where Bambi was the game show host.
"Jingle Bells make money, everybody sing" I love Bad News!
Pure awesomeness.
A friend in the UK turned me onto Bad News back in the late '90s. They were hilarious, but I don't think I could put them above Spinal Tap. I appreciate that the humor of Tap is more subtle and like character study, whereas Bad News is a lot broader. Funny stuff, though.
Hi Frank - love the intro!! I saw Bad News back in the day at Hammersmith in London - my jaw dropped when Brian May came on for a guest appearance. Great times! Cheers Matt
A friend of mine bought Bad News when it first came out. I had all those Black Sabbath's back in the day but sold them off in my purge years. Maybe will buy them again someday.
For me it's not really a competition, Bad News and Spinal Tap are both great and I'm glad they both exist.
They did a live tour here in the UK late 1987 - I was lucky enough to be there, complete classic.
That would have been awesome to see.
I was at the Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone (just after the hurricane) and they stayed behind to sign stuff. We missed our train home but as 16 year olds they were our comedy heroes, still have the signed programme. Had to convince a taxi driver to take us with the very little money we had, then she played us Dark Side of The Moon... first time I heard it.
Bad News is so funny. Rik Mayall is a comedy legend.
New intro ...... ROCKS!!!
Keep on spinning Frank 👍
Thanks 👍
Great Show Frank and yes that Police box set looks pretty cool.. but pricey !! Always loved a bit of "Bad News" its comedy gold, Have a great weekend and keep on spinnin !!
Liking the love for Bad News 😊
I have always loved the Tony Martin era, and have bought each of those albums in their original release dates. I actually enjoy the Tony Martin era more than the Ozzy era. This might be due to the fact that my introduction to Sabbath was with the Dio era in the early 80’s. The Forbidden remix is incredible. If he can do the same magic on Born Again, that would be amazing.
I will be the first in line to get a Born Again remix... great album, but a cleaner mix would be amazing.
I love the Sabbath Martin era box set. Dead quiet vinyl
I finally had a chance to listen to it yesterday (it arrived in the late afternoon).... I agree, very good pressings.
Love the intro!!! Yeah, it is great that we got those Sabbath and I agree that Martin is good, but he was kind of between a rock and hard place. After all you following in the footsteps of OZZY and DIO lol. I mean who stands a chance, right? lol. Ha ha!!! I just picked up that Bad News on vinyl. It was dirt cheap and the cover looked so cool I HAD to grab it LOL
Hey Brandon! Yes, Tony Martin was definitely in a difficult situation. Which Bad News album did you get? If you haven't already, watch More Bad News: ruclips.net/video/gaDifPYX8-w/видео.html
frankly, after ozzy and dio left, it's too bad tony couldn't have just gone solo with geezer. because there's so many lineup changes you'd think it was a solo project at that point.
We loved this video Frank, great job! Not sure we’ll pick up the new Black Sabbath box set. Wasn’t a fan of that era like many others, at least not visually. Tony had an amazing voice, but just didn’t “see” it like Ozzy or Ronnie. We did however preorder the Van Halen box set. Have waited it seems FOREVER for “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.” As far as “Bad News” is concerned, we hadn’t heard of them until just now. We’ll check it out, thanks for the tip!🙏🏻🎧
Here is a link to the entire More Bad News "documentary" :The Comic Strip Presents More Bad News: ruclips.net/video/gaDifPYX8-w/видео.htmlsi=3anqsCFIwTghlpWP
I already got my synchronicity box set on pre-order. I cannot wait! To be honest I kinda like a lot of the non-Ozzy Osbourne Black Sabbath stuff nothing against Ozzy Osbourne of course, but they weren’t really bad without him either.
The Synchronicity box looks really good. I see importCDs.com has it for US$90, which is so far the best price I can find... I may pull the trigger today.
I have more than one copy of Synchronicity and cringed when I saw the price of the 6 CD set!!
It is great to see someone else knows Bad News. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and discovered the Young Ones on Mtv in the 80's. They also ran The Comic Strip Presents. The Bad News episodes were the best. Especially More Bad News! A local record store back in the day ordered that first cd for me. It is comedy gold!
Was it Phil's Records by chance? I got a used copy of it there
They still seem to have a strong cult following... good to see. Comedy gold indeed. And it still stands up today (a lot of those bits are not very PC lol).
@@Skycladatdusk78 Everybody's Records
Many thanks Frank and all at Channel 33 RPM🤘 Thanks for the heads up on For Unlawful
Glad to be of service.
I was playing that last night. After 30+ years, I'm still laughing at the introduction to "Excalibur" bit. "Do all your f**king about now!"
Ha! So many great lines and bits.
I like box sets, but never cared for DVDs included in the box set - I may watch the movie once, but rarely watch more than once. I did order the color vinyl of Synchronicity
Thanks you make the best videos out there I learn so much all the best
Thanks!
Hi Frank, those new Sabbath box sets are really excellent, very nicely packaged, well worth the expense, I reckon you will be impressed. 'Night Wing' is a killer cut from the 'Headless Cross' LP.... but some great tracks on there....
Agree
My boxset arrived just a few hours ago! I just made my way through all 4 albums. They sound great.
@@Channel33RPM I had a feeling you'd be impressed. The poly lined inners on the vinyl version are a nice touch but if I had to be critical it's slightly disappointing that the 3 'bonus' tracks (previously available on the Jap CD versions of 3 of the original albums) were not included in the box set as a 3 track EP/maxi single. These are, however, included as bonus tracks on the CD version of the box set... I would have bought both versions anyway (as I am a self confessed completist nerd!) but I think generally the contents should be the same across both formats. I guess production costs were a factor and rightly so. Strangely in these modern times, the vinyl version was actually cheaper than the CD set!
The bonus material would have been nice. And to be totally nit-picky, I wish the book was hard cover, like on the previous Sabbath boxsets.
@@Channel33RPM Totally agree Frank, I guess they opted for the softback to again minimise production costs, I suppose the record company perhaps thought the market for this set was probably going to be very niche.... a hardback book would have added value for sure.
I see the new Mandoki Soulmates album back there. Great record! 👍👍
Sharp eye!
Saw Bad News in Edinburgh, my mate got tossed out by Security for chucking a beer at Vim Feugo even though he was actually asking for it !
I would have loved to have seen them.
Saw Spinal Tap in the theater in 84. Love the Tap. I got the Bad News cd and videotape in like 89.
I have to say Bad News is just a tad better than Tap.
RIP Rik Mayall
RIP indeed.
Awesome video bro
Don't know if Rhino will send me a comp copy of Sabbath or VH, but they did send me the Zeppelin "Mothership" boxed set a few years ago, and now they're sending me Joni Mitchell's Asylum 1972-1975 (I'll do a separate video on that).
If you want to talk VAN HALEN Frank, my favorite CD 📀 will always be their first one that was released in 1978. 📀 MEGADETH? My biggest weakness is for their CD 📀 "The World Needs a Hero" (2001) 📀.
The debut is my fav as well. It's a perfect album.
@@Channel33RPM Yea Frank. It's a classic case of "They got it right the first time round." You could probably make the same argument for GUNS & ROSES "Appetite For Destruction" (1987).
How about "The Yes Album" Super Deluxe, coming out?
When forming family-based singing groups, how did the Osmonds, Cowsill's and Jackson's do it? A lotta hard work!
I have 4 different cd's of Bad News
I agree about live without a net
I would LOVE to have an official copy of it... in the meantime, luckily it's on RUclips.
@@Channel33RPM they need to give us the audio from the concert on cd or vinyl alson
Hey Mr Bassman
Is one of those guys from bad news Neil from the young ones? Looks like him.. im definitely gonna check that out.
Yes, Nigel Planer... that guy is so funny.
Here's the link to the full "documentary" ruclips.net/video/gaDifPYX8-w/видео.html
Hogwash, there is no better than Spinal Tap. :) I believe I saw a copy of the Bad News vinyl in a store once, but I assume the price stopped me from buying, because I would have.
Bad news came out 2 years before spinal tap and is funnier it doesn't gave the Hollywood slickbess of tap but is the original
@@thomas.wermuth188 very cool, I need to check them out more for sure
Love those Bad News videos. Guessing that they are more funny then serious. Where it seems like Spinal Tap was meant to be serious, then funny. But the scene of them "trying" to film the video for Warriors Of Ghangis Khan is just way too much. Like the part where Colin falls off the stage ramp. Dim's attempt to "look mean" for the camera. Spider playing his drums in the car like he was Keith Moon. And of course Vim and Imogene.
The filming of the Warriors of Ghangis Khan bit was my fav scene on the movie.... completely over the top, lol.
“It says sausages.. Where’s me other bloody sausage???”
We’ve been quoting this as well for years! Thanks for letting me know about the deluxe edition. Just ordered!
I saw Bad News fuck up! 😉
@ Frank ,have you considered crown Royal with Royal Crown cola?
After reading this comment, I realized I have not seen Royal Crown cola for years... did some Googling and it looks like the brand disappeared in Canada several years ago. I will have to look for Royal Crown cola when I am in the U.S. again, later this summer.
Been wondering about that intro, have you ever disclosed the story behind it?, VERY curious. Sounds killer! And hell yeah, I'm on board for the VH concert Blu-ray, that needs to happen.
I have disclosed to anyone who asks... it's largely AI-generated, believe it or not (I toyed with the lyrics and added some embellishments, as well as the video). Crazy, isn't it?
@@Channel33RPM wow! Saw a video literally a couple days ago discussing the AI generated music and TBH I CANNOT tell the difference. Strange times we're living in my friend!
Was never a fan of the Tony Martin era in Sabbath. Tried to get into it but never could. Some good tracks just not enough to jump into the boxed set. Not really a VH fan so will be passing on that as well. Will try to check out that Bad News. Looks like fun. My favorite band parody has to be The Rutles from the 70's. That Monty Python influence with the cameo from George Harrison just makes it great. Neil Aspinall's songs are just dead on Beatles rip offs in the best and funniest ways.
Here's the Bad News link... so funny: ruclips.net/video/gaDifPYX8-w/видео.html
Very cool music Frank! I just wanted to let you know I gave you a shoutout on my latest video! Thank you for all you do! Also, do you use a microphone, and if you do what kind? Thanks Frank and great video!😎
Thank you for the shout out!!!! \m/
@@Channel33RPM You are very welcome! You have a great channel. Also, thank you for subscribing to my channel! Cheers😎
In my opinion Liliac is the best of new bands playing Hard Rock. The voice of Melody, the lead singer is outstanding. A few days ago she sang Stargazer by Rainbow with Cincinnati Vampires:
ruclips.net/video/A8_Ocf5XjMI/видео.html
Hey, Frank, check out that Liliac cover of "Rainbow in the Dark."
🔥🔥🔥
They sure so a lot of Dio tracks, hey? I will definitely check it out. Thank for the recommendation.
@@Channel33RPM Melody has the voice to sing Dio. 🙂
Liliac is a great band. Melody's voice is incredible
They were good doing covers but their original stuff is not that good! Maybe if they can breakaway from their dad when the youngest graduates, they can do better stuff!
Those super delixe always oop up on streaming services. Id love to have them but ill save the money. But i do have the bulk of those Jethro Tull hardback 40th anniversary reissues.
Cool intro great video
I'm glad you like it!
Hello My Dear Great Friend Frank Landry I Hope You Have A Great Wonderful Weekend Ahead Blessed With Beautiful Accomplishments And Achievements Great Success Total Happiness Sunshine And Smiles That Will Allow You To Enjoy Your Life As A Happy And Successful Person In The World. May God Always Bless Your Life With Love Joy Happiness Health Success Peace And Prosperity.
If you are fascinated by sibling bands, you should check out The Warning, power trio of mexican sisters that have been playing since they were children, old school rock n roll with a modern twist, and their story is very inspiring to say the least, started playing in their basement when they were 9, 12 and 14, and now they are touring the world, check them out, you won't regret it, they have a youtube channel with all their music and documentaries, they are exploding right now, so you will probably hear about them sooner or later, 💯 recommended!!!
Cool, I will check em out!

@@Channel33RPMFYI, they will be touring Canada in the next few weeks with Halestorm and Evanescence!!!
VH. I’d rather have an etching than 3 or 4 songs per side to make 4 sides. And Live W/O A Net, they should put that on vinyl
I agree. It wouldn't make sense to spread the album out over 4 sides. But... they could include the audio 'rarities' from the accompanying CD on side 4 of the record.
@@Channel33RPMThere’s usually enough music in a box set that could be added rather than the etching side. The etching on a regular release is even more annoying.
Forget Liliac, you need to invest in The Warning, the REAL DEAL.
I like both bands
Liliac was good when they did covers but their original stuff just doesn’t have it! It has a soulless feel! Their dad is truly holding them back! You listen to the covers they did & you can feel the soul they put into those songs!
Wow! That intro music sounds like somebody was using rough toilet paper. Ouch! LMAO
Etchings are so annoying.
Agree.
Van Hagar SUCKS!!!!!
