"Jazz is an accident waiting to have happened" - there hasn't been a greater sentence spoken in the history of television.
Lol
I thought the same. It‘s the Love thy neighbour, as thyself of the Jazz Gospel.
😂
waiting to have been spoken*
😂 ahh you got me man
This whole conversation is jazz.
OMG, you meta you!
"It will change your life....not necessarily for the better". 😂
That line is incredible. Lol
Pure art.
Gotta love how these guys play off each other. Master improvisers.
Gotta love the irony as well.
Jazz theatre...
Their performance is even more like jazz when you delve into it. While they didn’t write a screenplay and improvised their performances, they did painstakingly work out their characters back stories so that they had a strong foundation to improvise on, just like any great jazz player works on his/her craft.
What do you mean improvise? I don’t understand
spinal tap didn't have a script, just concepts for each scene, and the lines were improvised @@jimrockfish1875
"Miles Davis, ...what's wrong with him?" 🤣
"Jazz is mistakes". These men are philosopher kings.
So are the Wombles.
Wizards of the craft
Derek Smalls has so much criticism of jazz, yet he wrote Jazz Odyssey, the Spinal Tap masterpiece.
Exactly, it's a Jazz ODYSSEY. If all jazz was an odyssey, it would be good.
Spinal tap mach 2 is to Derek Small as magical mystery tour was to Paul McCartney.😊
Just remember it's all Derek's fault
“He wrote this.”
In all our years performing, we’ve never heard someone from the audience yell “turn it down”
Well WE wouldn’t have heard it anyway...
That's when I busted a gut and couldn't stop laughing. How many times I've thought of that while on stage, and Spinal Tap is proud to proclaim it.
@@destroythenarrative9034 That was an epic line, defies Rock N Roll to the nth degree. We can't hear what you're trying to say, and we don't really care, cover your ears 😂😂😂
well they could always make 11 louder
as a jazz musician i can confirm everything they’re saying is right
Those "wrong notes" are Jazz discord and dissonance, every thing true sure, but it's jazz version of make their ears bleed and it has obviously worked or they wouldn't be wanking on like great grandpa about the rock & roll
@@williamlong8859 You do realise this is a comedy skit?
@@vrzM8 As a Jazz musician myself, I do not agree with anything they have to say but I love all of it !
@@vrzM8 What are you so scared of?
@@vrzM8 Ironically, a lot what they are joking about is absolutely true.
e,g th-cam.com/video/7I9UwLkljDs/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgyypjgE4_MnrMnye9J4AaABAg.8dzt-9Is0v89drvdB4-xt3
Very Speciall music for the cloth eared.
(Jazz saxist. and a player of both "Meditative" music and Free Jazz
Love the bit about Miles putting a thing in his trumpet so it doesn't sound like a trumpet.
what's WRONG with him? lol
I love how he can’t remember Miles’ last name.
How do they not piss themselves laughing?
No pre-plan to this, this is their comical personality. Something uncommon this day and age .
@Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls I'm pretty sure 0% of Spinal Tap appearances (including the film) is scripted.
Years of dedicated, ninja-like training :-)
In the film, when they change direction and do a free-form "jazz Odyssey" had me laughing for weeks
So funny. You have to be pretty good to come up with something so bad. 😂 Jazz Odyssey is a piece of art in its own right. I want to hear the whole piece!
@@JonBecker81 i actually have a degree in playing it wrong!!
Their audience during that gig only consisted of a couple Joe Dirt rednecks booing them with thumbs down.
"In all our years we have never heard anyone from the audience yelling Turn it down." "Well, we wouldn't have heard it anyway"
I had to listen to this four times in a row - I missed lines due to laughing too hard. This hits two very funny bones for me!
"Spinal Tap" is the most essential DVD in the world. The commentary track is them ad-libbing over the whole film and is possibly even funnier than the original.
The deleted scenes are good too.
I love when they first see viv playing the keyboard with his eyes rolled back in his head and theyre just like "oh poor viv..." Like they just have total pity for him lol
Or when Nigel keeps pointing out random background characters and saying that they're dead now
I don’t think I ever heard the commentary track. I need to go dig it out of my old dvds and fire up the dvd player.
“They even get a degree for playing it wrong. “
One of Harry Shearer’s best lines ever. He can hardly get a word in when the other guys are riffing.
"It's alot of wrong notes, especially people playing the saxophone"
They’re the worst
I tried for years to learn how to play jazz. One day out of frustration, I gave up, and kicked all of my instruments down the stairs. That was the moment I not only learned how to play jazz, but I became an entire jazz band.
Maaan! This is pure gold!
“Jazz saxophone, they are the worst” 🤭
"It may not be an anthem, but it is anthemic."
They're absolutely right. As the ultimate authority, we need look no further than alleged pianist Thelonious Monk, who counselled a fellow jazz "artist" (whatever that is), "You're making the wrong mistakes." I really wish more people would listen to these guys and their magnificent, fearless music.
Miles Davis once said, "It's about the notes you DON'T play," which is just completely antithetical to the idea of music. Spoken like someone who probably has never felt like a preserved moose on-stage.
Needless to say this was passed around a lot in my uni whilst studying my jazz degree 😂
unfortunately it's not possible to study "Feel"
Their punchlines are accidents waiting to happen. Just brilliant.
Don’t you mean ‘Waiting to have happened’?
I hurt from listening to this interview, it's so dang funny!
I played a jazz solo, and all my notes worked.
I am doubled over laughing!! The Jazz description is pure gold!!!
They learned this during their jazz/blues festival
Blues/jazz you mean?
When the festival was held on The Isle of Lucy?
Blues jazz really
You guys get an eleven out of ten.....
Cheers!!!
People play soft music out of...fear.
imagine the fans out in the crowd asking for them to turn it down.
Yes they do, but quietly and politely.
Unless there's a power outage, their opinions are not being heard. ...the beauty of Rock n Roll
“Miles Davis kept putting this thing on the end of his horn to make it sound less like a trumpet. What’s wrong with him? “ 😂
in character since 1979
"Whats wrong with him?" 🤣
“we didn’t hear it” 😂 😂
I can't belive that Chuck McGill lived a second life of a rock n roll musician, who would've thought 😄
it's anthemic
It might not be an anthem, but you bet your arse it’s anthemic
@@depecher6s311 That's exactly right
One of my all time favorite Spinal Tap segments!
Me too! Thanks for watching!
This piece is gold, every statement 😂
I LOVE this!!!
Good lord the witty back & forth banter and the way they push off eachother is simply glorious. Ive seen this movie at least a few dozen times and it never gets old.
Only wish Dereks "Jazz Odyssey" was in D...minor, the saddest of all keys.
this is as funny or even funnier than watching the movie... 3 minutes of genius!
You have to seriously wonder what the "thumbs down" people here are thinking.
I love this move so much, however, I learned that there are some people that take a lot of this seriously and don't realize how good it is ... "A degree in how to play it wrong" 😂😂😂
hilarious, especially the jazz comments
“It may not be an anthem but it is anthemic” lmao
"A man's reach should exceed his grasp" ... Robert Browning via Derek Smalls.
I like how Derek closes his eyes briefly after saying this to enjoy his contribution to the discussion .
You mean “Principal Skinner”?
Putting the thing on the end of his trumpet was comparable to adding the amp capo I think. Same thing, they try to deny it but we know they're jazz.
Jazz musicians will never understand the joy of the pentatonic scale
it's a celebration of the great discomfort of Rock
My friend, Ajay Heble, wrote a book about Jazz called "Landing on the Wrong Note."
Jazz is based on fear,I love it!!!! Lol
They're scared that if they play too loud .... everyone will hear them and their mistakes.
@@DG-sf9ei Or won't, either way, they're easy.
All this because they got bumped by the puppet show and no one liked Jazz Odyssey.
LMFAO, still venting decades later. The puppet festival only consisted of few people with thumbs down, yea that scarred them for life.
Certainly Jazz Odyssey was a mistake
I love how David made sure to toss Derek under the bus. "He wrote this" lmao
Hey now, if Jeanine told them once, she told them a hundred times to put "Spinal Tap" first and "puppet show" last.
Watch this and TRY to stay in a bad mood........can't happen.
therapy material
hilarious you know they ad lib all this stuff
hilarious whether ad libbed or rehearsed !
Genious!
"He'll improvise, but its all intentional"
I play Jazz Saxophone and regularly get cheques from the PRS.
The performing Rong Society.
At jazz gigs people clap on 1 and 3 and no-one notices...
Excellent points, as always!
🥸
Miles always told Robin Ford to crank it up, times he started playing softly. So this whole joke is based on pop stereotypes of jazz.
Awright - I'm off to watch Spinal Tap again. By the way - Why in the HELL was there never a sequel?
One is being released in 2024.
Literally the greatest ever.
They are comical 😃
Absolute effin legends! 🤪
Heavy duty rock & roll is an underrated song
"Play a song wrong once and it's a mistake. Play it wrong twice and it's Jazz!"
Chuck is like, “You’re not a real musician.”
I didn't understand jazz before. Now I do
"Jazz is all playing wrong notes"...I laugh my headphones on and wife propably thinks I'm grazy.
Talkin Bout Nawlins Allmusic have some good songs even Jazz ha ha.
Wonderful! 😎
When in a Rock band is playing and someone flubs it's traditional to ask "who was playing jazz on that one?"
Hilarious. Never heard that one before!
Great Rock and Roll should hurt. LOL
Brilliance, genius.
genius
hilarious thats why they say in Jazz " playng outside" literally outside the key. OMG so funny
aside from the hilarious dialog....the intro/outro music is really intense! Who is it??
We’ve never heard anyone in the audience shout turn it down…😂
i have old 70s Jazz mags
"This song contains the line, 'Just wanna make some eardrums bleed. We've never actually done that, but it's still the goal...' "
There goes the summary of 25 years in the music business. Lol
Improvising, by nature isn't "intentional," lol. It's a skill set by itself EVERY musician should get good at by playing anything at any time. Covering a song exactly is hard for a set of reasons. This is a different skill set. Usually at the expense of being unable to either read nor write musical notation.
Improvised jazz, well, you better know some stuff. At least, how to follow the bass player and have a good ear to anticipate the next chord. It's an opening of the mind, which is where the drugs came in.
I think these three know more about the nature of improvisation than most haha
These guys don't look nearly as ravaged and haggard as you'd expect rock musicians of their age and caliber to be
Of course it's based on fear. Nobody wants to get an angry look from Miles Davis
"He would suck at the trumpet, which gave a completely different sound"
O my cheese....they all 100 right...Wrong notes ...!!!!
Lol
Jazz is based on FEAR 😂
Lol!!!
Miles Davis sounds a bit like me car's horn, innit?
I always turn my amp up to 11
Some interesting new visions on Jazz-music by the King's of Heavy-music! May the Lord stay with them!!
🤟🤠💥🌟🌀🌐
@#rolfdejonge@
Those English accents!!!
jazz is fear-based. it's actually bravery. Pride in playing the wrong notes and incorrect timing
the bravery to play things incorrectly in front of an audience who paid money
Jazz is the Google translate of music. It works wrong, but it turns out ok.
How would they know if anybody yelled to turn it down?
🤣😂🤣
Christopher Guest looks more like Jeff Beck than Nigel Tuffnell here.
an unintentional accident.....
Miles Dailis 🧘♂️
Jazz or as other muscians would call it "a tune up".
Best description of jazz ever.... I always thought it was deliberately playing wrong notes and then resolving back to harmony before going off on one again
.. all the while patting self on back for being so avant garde. Ps I can't play jazz for shit. 🤗
Shocker. lol.
"If it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid."
Chuck Mcgill???
