LIVE WEBCAST CFR
Its pretty insane. Dave brings what amounts to a portable TV station in with him to CFR on Saturday nights, hooks it all up, and Bang!! We are webcasting live radio around the world!! Crazy stuff. We both really love the radio show and we go to extra lengths to try and make it fun, cutting edge and different. We did it again last night - the show was funny, the music was killer, and although Gilby Clarke kinda got .... er.....locked out of the building and never showed, Brett Hellings came in and we did an inpromptu Jumpin Jack Flash together, the Suicide Girls flew in, plugged their show, and flew out again, and Dave and I had a blast. Thanks to everyone on 6767.com who are logging in and listening and watching every Saturday. You rule.
Friday, I took a little road trip down to San Diego to go see Ricky Warwick and Def Leppard do the big arena rock show. A lot of fun - Leppard are ridiculously tight and sounded amazing. Its a greatest hits tour, so every song is a winner, although my personal favorite is the cover that they open the set with - a version of The Sweets 'Action'. The consumate set opener. Jen and I made a night of it, and booked a nice suite in one of the Marina hotels down there, over looking the harbour and Coronado Island. A lot of room service and some nice, private 'hotel time'. Just what the doctor ordered. And I took this picture of the breakfast tray because it made me crack up. Bowls of fruit, sweet n lo packets, fruit juice...... all the healthy options, and right in the middle ....... my makeshift ashtray, with a bunch of cigarette butts floating around in some Perrier water!!!! Oh Billy, you have SUCH class!!
Jezzi - Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you. Hope you had a great day, and got everything you wanted.
Kate - Nice work! So you are planning the road trip to Vegas? I think you will have a good time on this one. Its shaping up to be a killer night.
Simon - Yep. Ol' Danny B knows how to give us some riveting television, right? Look out for a season 2 - seems like they would HAVE to keep this one going.
Six7Six7 - I think we ended up writing about 26 songs together during that Doheny period. And yes - there will be more demos that appear here. I am just not yet happy with the radio page (how it looks or how it works) so once that is all working, I will provide more songs, both from Stimulator and Doheny. And probably some earlier shit as well.
TA - Welcome to the blog. And I remember the Irving Plaza show well - one of the best shows of my 'career' so far. I believe you caught a good show that night. Hope you stick around and enjoy the Morrison Family!!
Sergio - The JCM900's all sound different. You have to go through a few and play them to find one that is 'just right'. But the reason I like mine is just the way it provides a beautifully warm crunch with the amp up loud. Its all a matter of taste. I dont even use the second channel - its all about that classic Marshall sound.
Lisa - An equipment page is a great idea - and I will make it so!!
Jay - Very perceptive as usual! Yes, they are looking for pre-pubescent teenage angst!! But they also want the Velvet Revolver supergroup. But you know what? I have learnt that if you choose to make music, you need to make it for yourself. If anyone else likes it, that is a bonus. If you make any money at all from making music, you are indeed in the chosen few. But above all, write and play it for YOURSELF. If it turns you on, killer. EVERYTHING else is in the lap of the Gods.
Fri13th - You must encourage your spouse to KILL!! Kill everything onscreen!! Chase those bad guys down and BURN them up!! ..... oops, sorry! Got carried away. Maybe all that Socom 3 and Brothers In Arms is getting to me!
Today, I am going to see SAW 2. Cannot wait. Loved the first movie and I have fingers and toes crossed that they have pushed the envelope even more with the sequel. I will, of course, let you know what I thought. And that seems to be it from me. The Camp Freddy December show is slowly creeping up on us, and I really want to start work on the 'free album' idea that I have for this site. All good things come to those who wait ..... but I seem to do a lot of waiting these days. Thanks to you all, and a big WASSUP to all the new people who are posting. The family grows, and I love that. Back next week.
Peace
Billy

Billy!! Yes, I did get almost everything I wanted, lots of well wishes from the 6767 and Morrison extended family, as well as a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf gift card, and a photo album of pics of my boy and me at my graduation, I keep telling everyone I am LOW MAINTANENCE!!! As far as the ALMOST, well, I suppose Billy, you know better than anyone what I really want, but, there's always Christmas!!
Love to everyone here, hey, sounds like you and Dave have the same plan, what is your local theater of choice, is it the Grove, or Arclight?
love
jezzi

Have you played Call of Duty and Metal of Honor?
The new Call of Duty looks really good. But I hardly get a chance to play them.
There is surely something about watching a grown man get so into playing games. It's rather cute to watch. Ok, Maybe I'm lame but he looks so "into it"...Like a kid at a carnival or something..lol
Oh-and it's nice to see you and listen to the radio show on Saturday nights! Always a blast!

Hey Billy!
How and when did you and Dave N meet?
X X X
Posted by: KCee at November 6, 2005 05:37 PM
Yup, definitely hitting the Vegas show. Now to decide whether to drive or fly. I love the drive, four hours of windows down, music blaring = much fun. Still, flying gets me there in less than an hour. Decisions, decisions...
Let us know when the tickets go up for sale, still no sign of them released yet.
My son Alex sounds just like you when he plays Grand Theft Auto. Give him a flame thrower and he's a happy camper torching police, pedestrians, cars, helicopters.
Enjoy your evening all!

and I ALWAYS have a good time at any CF gig. I don't think it's possible to have anything less than a fabulous time when you guys play.

Hello Billy!
I've been out of the loop for awhile so I thought I'd pop in, catch up and say Hi.
I've just been getting caught up with CFR this evening...you and Dave are priceless!!! I'll pose the same question to you that I asked Dave...if you two were offered a regular, syndicated radio show, like Howard Stern, would you ever consider doing something like that???
Anyway...hope you have an amazing week :D

Yo Billy! Great pics, I miss Coronado, we used to go all the time, when we would visit my sister-in-law in Chula Vista, but she's moved so haven't been that way... Anyhoo, have a great week.
