David Letterman:
"For no good reason at all, I loved his 'fuck it' swagger. Stand up comics have a licence to say anything, there's no boss, no network, no corporate entity looking down. Most stand up's dont take that licence...Bill did"
Above all, he had a heart and an intellect far beyond most people.
He was a true legend of his field.
i've never heard of this band!
wow, was listening to him just 2 seconds ago on my way back from lunch. the bit about the pro-lifers killing people.
here here TP!! he was a genius.
yeah, thats fierce dude!
I LOVED his smoking gags...they just destroy me every time.
Or this:
" Yeah I did that joke about a centerfold in the bible when I was in Allabama...two guys came up to me in the carpark after the show wanting to start a fight......'hey boy...we're christians, we dont like what you said..."
"I said then forgive me"
TOTAL GENIUS.
and they're pushing him away while saying "c'mere!"
"obviously NOT a physics major..."
Ha!!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!
How about the futuristic Coca Cola gag...
A totally naked girl with her legs spread apart in an ad for coke...
"Drink Coke"
"High Court's definition of Pornography: no artistic merit; causes sexual thought...
...sounds like eeeeeevery advertisement on television!!"
I fucken love him.
Orange Drink!
fuck i love that quote
... my throat gets parched... oh, how does it go?
classic
funniest cunt.
I wonder how many people got into him 'cause Tool said to?
fuck not this argument again.
eat a dick
No-one can touch him. Especially now.
Seats rockin' kinda nice, pants are a little tight. Oh my God! I've got a woody on the L train! What are they gonna do? Ban public transport?
in the wagon ride out west sings I got a woody on the trail, I got a woody on the trail
i have an interesting doco on how bill hicks was censored so much in the states....maybe will screen this at the pitz sometime
& how about those bands that don't take drugs...& in fact actively speak out against drugs? Boy do they suck.
tool suck balls (- interesting drumming; everything else is gash). radiohead were giving him props in the sleeve to the bends in 1994, not that that should make a difference, either. he was already 'popular' (relatively speaking, given the challenging nature of some of his content) before then.
and the fact that he died in '94, and Aenima took another 2 1/2 years to come out.
I only allow myself get into anything if tool tells me to.
can't wait for the new album, i can fucken tell ya.
considering the way he went to town on Bush Snr, one can only imagine the apoplexy that would have ensued if he had a bash at George Dubya.

Suddenly that Hey Hey clip doesn't seem so bad
HEB - you know a shitload of full hicks performances are on youtube now, put up by the family and whatnot, so i dunno if they're milking it THAT much being that there's a tonne of stuff on their for free... like say it was my son, i'd want the whole world to know and appreciate how brilliant he was
doh, your post is over a year old, carry on
''Diet Coke – I’m George Michaels, I drink Diet Coke so my heinie dun’t get too big. We don’t like big heinies do we girls? Heeheehee. Diet Coke.''
Rockstars hockin Diet Cokes?!
What real rock star would do something like that, huh?
“It’s Keith Moon for Snickers!”
“Sometimes I’m doin a drum solo and I haven’t eaten for like three fucken weeks. I’ll eat a Snickerrrs!””
“It’s John Bonham for Certs!”
“Threw up blood in me sleep last night. Got a date with two 13 year-old twins. I’ll suck a Certs”
That's one of his best riffs, especially the Hendrix meets Tiffany part ''now that guy had a dick. Like an Anaconda blowing in the wind man. I bet he could shake her love right in half. ''Mommy!!! It's so big!! Take me back to the mall I suck I suck!!'' Speaking of Hicks, a few days ago I visited his grave out in bumfucknowheresville Mississhippi, the guy is buried in a tiny plot in a swamp along with his father and grandparents. It was hugely eerie. One person had left his thesis shrink wrapped and dedicated to Hicks but that was about it, certainly ain't no Graceland and thank god for that.
He ain't there anyway. He's cruising the cosmos with trippin' aliens.
Russell Crowe is directing a forthcoming Bill biopic. Thankfully, he won't be playing Bill.
Who would be a good choice?
Nobody ffs
I reckon Joseph Gordon-Levitt could do the job. Liked him in Inception and the Dark Knight Rises.
Dennis Leary.
thats a pretty goods call.
there's small similarity too...(tho he should def play Heath Ledger if ever its required..)
Wow. Well spotted!
He'd need to eat some more ham though.
If Bill Hicks had have been a musician he would have been Frank Black. If Frank Black had have been a comedian he would have been Bill Hicks.
They even look like brothers.
''I'm willing to die ten years before my time just so I'll be cool each last fucking day.''
neh, frank black is way too uptight to be like bill.
''*Diet Coke – I’m George Michaels, I drink Diet Coke so my heinie dun’t get too big. We don’t like big heinies do we girls? Heeheehee. Diet Coke.''

YES!
defs not frank black, he's closer to gg allin
way too smart to be gg. also, seems bills anger didnt stem from small dick syndrome.
or are you suggesting bills comedy was like watching a grown man with a micro penis take a dump on stage? because no, just no. wrong.
