I got a good kick out of this one. Random find on youtube. Ricki Lake was looking pretty hot in my opinion.

She’s very pretty there, sounds like she’s on the side of weed too.

Sebastian Bach certainly knows how to shout over everyone, hahaha.
Check out his shirt.
“AIDS Kills Everyone”.
HAHAHAHA!!! That was a response to him getting murdered by the press for wearing a shirt earlier (at a concert) that said something like, “AIDS Kills Fags Dead”.
He obviously had to backtrack and overcompensate, haha!!!

HAHA I remember that shirt. Channel 5 news ran that story. I remember his response to the shirt was, “I’m sorry. My Grandma died of cancer, and I know if I saw someone wearing a shirt that said ‘Cancer kills grandma’s dead’ I’d be deeply offended.” He was totally mocking the situation but to my knowledge he’s never worn the shirt again.
He’s funny!
Yeah the shirt did read “Aids kills Fags Dead” which was a send-up of “Raid Kills Bugs Dead”…I remember him catching a heaping load of shit for that and definitely spent a lot of time apologizing for it…
He must have been going for some of that Axl Rose faggot-hating dollar. That’s a big dollar! Well, it was in the early 90s at least. Bach was a bit of a twat to a local band that supported him in the UK, quite a funny article about it here;

The band put their side of it here;
Sebastian is a national treasure. I would like to hang out with him and smoke weed one day.
I like him too.
The shirt incident, along with the Axl stuff stemming primarily from the lyrics to “One In A Million”, was really on the first wave of social conscience/ political correctness in music/ entertainment.
Nowadays you’d be just begging for an onslaught of rotten fruit to be thrown at you, but at that time it was just kind of dumb “innocent” goon behaviour that, up until then, had flown under the radar but was still pretty commonplace in the “metal scene”.
I’ve seen newer interviews with Mr. Bach and he definitely seems like a level-headed dude who can put everything into perspective. I saw him on some show about a lot of the has been “hair metal” acts of the 80’s and he was saying how grateful he was to have ANY work (one of the talking bubble heads on a VH1 special, actor on Gilmore Girls, gigging at some buttrock festival, etc.).
I’m assuming, given the tastes of the board members here, that you’re familiar with the TV series “Trailer Park Boys”.
The final season had a story arc involving Sebastian Bach (yes, acting as himself), who meets the “boys” at a model train convention, befriends them, and then hatches a plan for them to smuggle Canadian weed to him via a length of model train track stretching across the border. I recommend this to anyone even remotely into absurd humor.
I still break out laughing when thinking about Sebsatian giving the opening speech at the train convention at Bangor, Maine: “the promoters told me I wasn’t supposed to SWEAR tonight…but lemme tell you, we got some great FUCKIN’ TRAINS here in BANGOR!!!”

He is more likeable than the garden variety pop-metal act from that time - as with the show I was mentioning just now, he can at least make fun of himself and sort of comprehend why the culture he was involved in is now the brunt of so many jokes. And he goes with the flow of that instead of campaigning endlessly to be taken seriously.
And hey…I’m happy to have any work at all, too. Though I didn’t render myself unemployable by associating with hair metal bands, it seems most American employers are not big fans of Industrial Culture refugees with a skeptical streak and a hatred of being monitored by human resources people on Facebook.

They kidnapped Alex Lifeson also…
Instant classic. The “Marilyn Monster Pizza Parlor” skit they did was also genius, way better than any of David Cross’ political “humor.”
The lyrics to their ‘Antichrist Superstar’ spoof song were the best: “Baa Baa black sheep, have you any hate? / Yes sir, yes sir, seal my fate…”

Yeah, I posted that skit on another thread after Voidhead wrote his own song with very similar lyrics.

If he did write something something as infectiously ‘hooky’ as Baa Baa Black Sheep, then I already vote for him to be enshrined in the Prongs ‘Circle of Honor.’

There’s really one must-see voidhead video.
Ticky ticky ticky ticky Ticky ticky ticky ticky!!!
It’s the visuals that make the video great, though.

By all means, throw a link in my direction.
Voidhead’s all right. One of the great things about this board is reading all you guys’ back-and-forth mockery of each others’ dearly held artistic tastes, and everybody still comes back here for more. It’s ironic and great that there’s more social harmony in a forum like this than there is in, well, places that advertise themselves as refuges of social harmony.
And this is even true of the threads that DON’T involve posters joining forces against the poster who claims to be Paul Barker’s wife.
wow, I remember seeing this episode as a kid. never really knew what it was about of course. Ricki was one of my pre-teen crushes so I’d watch her all the time.
I used to just watch a few minutes of the show here and there because I always liked the introduction of the topics.
“She thinks she’s all that . . . . . . . but that’s not what her roommates think!!!”
Very cerebral stuff.
I was watching one and this gay dude who had been bullied by these other dudes was going to “come out” and show that he was a strong and unique individual and confront the bullies.
Two regular Joe-Blow dudes are sitting on the stage, bored in their chairs. Cue flamboyant music. Gay dude comes prancing out proudly and is supposedly making some triumphant statement accordingly.
Ricki: Well, Guys, what do you think?"
Dudes: “About what?”
Ricki: “That’s Jason, who you probably remember from High School.”
Jason: “This is who I am, and I’m PROUD of myself and strong!”
Ricki: “Does that shock you guys?”
Dudes [glancing at each other and rolling their eyes]: “No. We always knew he was gay.”
Ricki: “Did you guys used to tease him?”
Dudes: “I don’t know. Maybe. We don’t really talk about high school anymore.”
[Jason standing around looking awkward]
Jason: “I just wanted to show you guys what I’ve become!”
Dudes: “Uhhh, okay. Good for you.”
Ricki: “Anyone else want to say anything?”
[Awkward silence]
The show obviously didn’t go the way that someone figured it would. It was a total floating turd and the awkwardness was just amazing. It’s too generic a topic for me to find it on YouTube or anything, but I wish I could. I’d never seen people so obviously deflated at a lack of drama on stage.
