Billy Morrison: LOOK OUT - MORRISONS TWEAKING AGAIN

November 21, 2005

LOOK OUT - MORRISONS TWEAKING AGAIN

Now we are all REALLY in trouble. Last night, I had a friend show me the basics of Dreamweaver. For those of you who dont know, that is the software that puts actual web pages up on the net for all to see. What this means in real world language is that I now have some more 'limited' knowledge of how to mess things up around here!! My first attempt has actually worked (see the new Radio Page) but I wouldnt hold my breath! I tend to try and do stuff that is slightly beyond my ability, and then bring everything else to a screeching halt! So if you come on here and its all in Chinese, dont fret - its me geeking out again! But I am happy that my Radio Page thing worked. Now I understand how to do it, I can add tracks, put in hidden links to songs that will only be up for a week, change the graphic etc. So keep checking the page as I intend to do just that - I'll occasionally throw a track up that is a hidden link, or I will change up the Stimulator tracks to put some more of the unreleased album up here. Either way - I hope you enjoy it all.

CFR at the weekend was a big show. Moved fast, Dave and I were on form, and Messy, Jon, Johnny, Angelene, Camp Teddy, Matt Sorum and his Mom were all great. Packed with guests, songs and phones, I feel we did a good job on Saturday. Hope you all enjoyed it, and a 'Big Up' to everyone who took part.

Its holiday week for all you Americans, although being a transplanted Limey, I kinda have to get into it a little. Thanksgiving is not really something that the English even understand!! So we are not going away, but we will go and see the new Harry Potter movie, and probably go up to a friends place in the evening. For me, its just a day where I do no work and get to hang out with my wife - a rare treat and something I am really looking forward to doing. But I wish all of you a great week, a big fat Turkey dinner (is that what you have on Thanksgiving?) and a chance to rest up and take it easy.

Twisted Angel - Well, don't think I am trying to be the next Anthony Hopkins! I just did a small part in a movie this summer and enjoyed the process. So I am willing to try some more. But its for fun and for free. Brad Pitt has NOTHING to worry about!

Steph - Oh My God! LOST... on the cellphone. Genius. Even more frustrating storylines, addictive cliff hangers, and random polar bears wandering a tropical island. JUST what I need!!

Will - Thanks for thinking of me with the Seds boots. I actually never liked these. I have three pairs of the original Studded Cross Bondage Boots and a pair of the canvas/leather boots in green. But have you seen their Anarchy shirts? Very cool.

Ylais - One tattoo on my stomach is the japanese symbol for 'truth' and the other is a symbol from a tribe of Headhunters that normally gets tattooed on their necks - to ward off the opposing tribes and to stop them from cutting their heads off!! So I suppose my stomach is being protected!

Jay and Leon - Hope you caught the OG Zodiac Mindwarp on CFR. Prime Mover was just for you guys.

Theresa - Glad you will be hitting the Vegas show. Three states - Jesus, I didn't even realize we actually get out of LA now and again!!

Terri - I have no idea when Billy will be on CFR again. But he knows he has a standing invite. No doubt he will come with me again at some point. Nice to know he is a popular guest.

Junkie Inc - Believe me, I am working hard at trying to get some music out there for next year. Thats the reason I put the radio page up. The Stimulator album never came out, so I figured it should be available anyway. And the Doheny demos deserved a public airing as well. But fingers crossed that a real release will happen at some point. Working on it!

So other than Pilates (which starts in 20 minutes .... shit! I better go!) the day is free for me. Which means I intend to flex my new-found Dreamweaver muscle. Let me see how I can better the Radio Page, and maybe play around with the TV page and get some video up here. Oh, and I have to play a little more True Crimes, Streets Of New York - my new PS2 obsession. Today's pic is from the Camp Freddy Anaheim HOB show, with Courtney and Lisa sharing center stage, and Dave's muscles taking over Stage Right!!! Have a great day all, and spread the word .....

Peace

Billy

Billy,

Kind of an odd question here, but what the hell..

In reference to taking on the role as "front man", can you separate "Billy the guitar player" from "Billy the singer/lyricist" in the writing process? Moving ahead, what gets you off more as a performer in a live setting, chunky riff guy or singing lead?

A good Holiday week to all.

Thank you,
Jay

Yes!!! Billy Radio!! and the most amazing thing is that I can hear it on DIALUP, and on AOL, and there are no skips or stops. I can't even say that about CFR or SpreadRadio. I am so happy....!!!
Thanks for brightening my Monday!
love!

Billy

In the vein of Velvet Revolver and Audioslave "Supergroups" you should hook up again with Billy Duffy and do some good old fashion rock n' roll. Also what about a book from your good self. When you and Billy Duffy start tellin' stories from back in the day I think it is one of the best parts of the CFR.

Dave's site, your site and Steve Issac's sites are all excellent and down to earth man. Even tho your lifestyles seem so hectic. Keep it up

Yes Billy you should write a book!

Posted by: Terri at November 21, 2005 04:21 PM

Billy I like what you have done with your page. More visual/audio candy, the better.

Twisted Angel, if you are on the East Coast, try Trash & Vaudeville in NYC, or Lip Service.

I say more silliness must ensue!!!

Hi Billy,

Daniel from Australia here. We definitely say 'Good onya' down here! I first became aware of you when I saw you playing on a couple of Cult videos then saw you on the Cult's Music Without Fear DVD...and you play bass on all of them. These days I see you are playing guitar with CF...so which are you mostly...a guitarist or bassist? Did you start on guitar then sub as a bass player for the Cult?

Thanks,

Daniel

Nice and stormy down here in Sydney, Oz at the moment - You gotta love a thunder storm after a nice balmy day, and even better it's bed time, not much beats being able to lie in bed listening to a downpour of rain - Ahhh the simple things in life!

Goodnight all x x x

Hey Billy, you know what ,you and Dave should have a TV show, Because CFR is funnier than anything on the air right now.
The Dave and Billy show, yes!
Luv xx,Terri

I second that Terri...I actually emailed MTV and asked them to make a reality show out of CFR! lol

Billy...are you gonna jump on the MySpace bandwagon???

Posted by: Cori at November 22, 2005 06:48 AM

billy,

thanks for the prime mover, great song to close the show with. when ever i hear that song it makes me wanna break shit!

thanks,
leon

Hey Cori, that is am awesome idea.Maybe if a bunch of us should start an e-mail campaign for that.It would be the funniest show on TV,that is for sure. Terri

Posted by: Terri at November 22, 2005 01:42 PM

Hey Billy, have been away for a couple of days and just got back and have just started listening to CFR.

Sorry mate, but 'Good on ya Mate!' is Australian, we actually say it quite a lot...
