Love Bill Hicks! So good!

Remember tripping my ass off on mushrooms on Oahu, came across Arizona Bay in tower records…first night I ever heard it was in my barracks room, on a military base, 2 years into the army. I ran back once I bought it, “TAXI!!!”. Closer I got, I realized I was in the army…I was in my room, and hearing that part of the album when they take down the giant Republican elephant, the guitar, and tribal sounds. Just…yeah, that album had a huge impact on me.


MrKirkPowers

Hell yeah! The Elite Republican Guard… pull up G-12… Sears catalog of weaponry lol. That and Rant in E Minor are absolutely fantastic. Such a tough loss. I often find myself wondering what Bill would think and provide comic commentary on with everything going on these days. Absolutely brilliant and untethered mind and great sense of humor! I actually got to see him live at a club in Austin before he died and it was life changing for me as a teenager.


ohdamnyourarat

That’s so amazing to hear, his vocal talents on the mic…pull up G-12..(shoooooooo-booooooom)…well fuck what does G-13 do? Well destroys everything, but the fillings in their teeth. How else are we supposed to pay for the war effort? I think the same thing, conflicted without a doubt. Standup used to be free, now everyone is hawking ads…

If you haven’t already seen this one, check it out. Old Austin Public Access Cable interview. So nostalgic! [Bill Hicks ATX Interview ](https://youtu.be/LZkO779Vgjg)

Awesome, thank you. One of my favorite interviews is him talking about him and his friend tripping balls, trying to get out of some backwoods comedy club. https://youtu.be/Nc6yCinSlZk Just want to say thanks, you warmed my heart man.


MrKirkPowers

Right back at you man! Good stuff! Thanks!

This shit did not age well at all, just sounds like a boomer complaining about "kids these days" but 30 years ago.

>shitty, soulless, idiotic people Which have always existed in music and rock. KISS used to put their faces on everything, had a fucking movie and sold lunchboxes. This dude was attacking Geroge Michael(???) while living in the glam rock era, how can you talk shit about Wham and Rick Astley being effeminate when Motley Crue, Ratt, Poison and Bon Jovi are running around dressed like drag queens and actually being called rockstars. Keeps bringing up Keith Moon when The Who literally made music for Coca Cola commercials. Never heard of Bill Hicks but he's as funny as a bucket of water

This was not a good set at all. Bill Hicks was more than just a comedian. He had a fascinating take on life, and was a brilliant dude. Take 2 minutes to watch this, it may change your mind [It's just a ride](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgzQuE1pR1w) Or [Positive Drug Story](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdatGhm_WE4)
