That reminds me of the suck ass band that opened up for Mew at Neumos earlier this year. The bass player with man teets proceeded to tell gay jokes.

My god, gay jokes? Really?

Bunch of jackasses. Oh No! Oh My! That's what they were called. Ugh.

At the time I saw the guy laughing and joking about breaking into cars, it was so bad. I was pissed. My car got broken into a while ago and the singer was just such a dumbass anyway.

But the more I think about it the more I have found myself laughing. Because he was such a dumbass. But I'm more laughing at him.

It would have been one thing if he were Johnny Rotten, or if he had had man teets, but he didn't, and his band sucked.

The guy should not have been anywhere near the mic. But that's why it was funny.

Where's GG Allen when you need him?

Paul Stanley is such a God. I've heard that cd of his banter and it is so good.

GG comin up soon, can't wait.

That Onion link is killer. Thank you, Jason.

Don't forget Warren Ellis of the Dirty Three. His manic song introductions are the stuff of legend.

Elvis had a legitimate album much like the Pollard and Paul Stanley ones called Having Fun On Stage With Elvis. Nothing but banter. It's surprisingly expensive, according to Google.

Trent, that guy sounds deuchy, but nothing compared to GG.

Rats, leopards, and sloths. Now I need to watch Animal Planet.

Spit from the stage tips: the blues gods. BB just smiles, Bonnie props the band, anything else, not music.
