      Bill Hicks is great and the Gaslight Anthem aren't too bad. American is a good doco, his trips to the farm on shrooms with his mates are quite interesting. Can't wait to watch this set!

      Cant believe that was cut from the show. I read and heard about that performance and expected it to be far worse than that.
      Why ask him on the show in the first place, it seems silly. Surely they knew what he was like and how extreme he could get. Its a very toned down sketch for him cant blame him for being pissed about that. The funny thing is nothing has really changed.

      Thanks for posting the videos Racer

      The man was fantastically dark. Far ahead of the tired observational mob we see now.

      Go through most of his stand-up set and had he still been alive could be used on a variety of arseholes today.

      Got a couple of his stand-up dvds, simply F***ing brilliant.

      I'd love to have seen him rip on Bush Jr. I have all his dvds and cds. You know that awkward moment you're watching with a female friend and he starts goatboy. If they can watch that and stay with you their alright ;)

      Thought I'd post the goat-boy scene up, for those that haven't seen it.
