Bill Bailey is yet another British national treasure. I love his humour,and him being multi talented just adds to his genius. Check out his U2 riff origins,you’ll love it.
The Black Books episode where Bill plays the piano without being seen to play the piano is a classic. When Bernard is trying to fake being a pianist. I watched the East Enders soap when it first came out, then decided I had enough to be depressed about. Without a daily dose of fictional disasters as well.
I love Bill Bailey, both brilliant comedian and remarkable musician. His 'Belgium Jazz' version of the Dr. Who theme and 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' done as death metal are particularly funny. Keep up the great posts!
saw him live, he called me "an actual giant twat" (during the interval i went to the loo, he saw me, and when the show started again he pointed me out and said that, he then asked if i could kindly brush the clouds away so it wouldnt rain after the show for context im 7'7"
Bill is incredibly talented. His version of Metallica's Enter Sandman on the horns is excellent too. He also does a segment called Every song sounds better in Heavy Metal, and covers nursery rhymes as Metal songs.
My favourite British comedian. This concentrated on his more musical side, but he also does a lot of great stand-up (his variations on the traditional "three men walk into a bar" jokes are amazing). And yes, he does a lot of guitar stuff too - his "how U2 got their sound" is one guitar classic of his.
He also does Metallica, "Enter Sandman", on the parp horns. You should really look for the video of him doing, with the help of 3 of his buddies, a parody of Kraftwerk playing, "Do The Okey-Cokey". It is completely hilarious, sung in German.
Bill Bailey is great. One favorite is his (honest and realistic) Love Song from the Part Troll tour. Maybe good for a reaction with something else? It's only 3m 52s long. Link for the lazy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1LdjVtHqNxs.html
One of the greatest musical comedians is Victor Borge in my opinion. All that came after, including Bill Bailey, owe him a debt. You should check him out when you get a chance.
Bill Bailey wasn't the first to have a "hornchestra". Stanelli, a British Music Hall artist, was well known and even appeared in movies and made records. You'll find one video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-USTh_5T8kVY.html
I once fell off a cliff in fog on a windy day in icy conditions, I broke my eye orbit, cheekbone, and nose and bust my knee, moral of the story is you can learn alot from people that don't know much as well, I play vinyl records up cliff/craggs, moors and under ground in a 400 year old mine for videos on music sites
Hi Brad & Lucy, please consider reacting to (Charlie Drake 1812 Overture) it won an award back in 1967. You will understand why when you see it. Charlie was a popular British comedian on tv & in films in the `60`s & `70`s. He played the Baron in Sinderella, the panto with Jim Davidson that you reacted to.
Bill is a _remarkable_ combination of extremely talented musician and stand-up comedian. In the same league as 'Weird' Al Yankovic or Tim Minchin. All of his musical appearances in 'Dictionary Corner' on "8 out of 10 cats does countdown"_ (8oo10cdc) are funny or very impressive. His "Old MacDonald" was from that show. I don't think you've reacted to any of these: _Bill Bailey's message to Metallica_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-98xNx87hRbU.html (only 1m:16s) _Bill Bailey - Love Song - Part Troll_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1LdjVtHqNxs.html (3m:52s) Very "theatrical" lyrics. _Bill Bailey's Love Ballad For Adele | 8oo10cdc_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rZZv6D4hpK8.html (4m:6s but the song starts at 2m:16s) _Bill Bailey's Masterpiece_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DtCPXmnuV6s.html (5m:19s) is fun.

Best Wishes. ☮
