OUCH!!

Ouch.jpg

The V-Blog today pretty much just consists of some footage from a few years ago, when I volunteered to have my eyebrow pierced on live television!! No reason at all to put this up, other than I laughed when I saw it, and figured it might be of interest to some of you. Other than that, get your questions in and I'll do a Q+A V-Blog next time. Elton John's party was a good laugh. Great food, interesting company (we went with the Osbournes, who are nothing short of the perfect people to attend such an event with!!) and an amazing auction for charity. They raised over half a million dollars in about ten minutes, auctioning things like show tickets, a car or two, and one of Elton's piano's. At one point in the auction, we thought we had scratched our noses too vigorously, as the Auctioneer pointed at our table and said "I have Fifty Thousand dollars to my right" ........ we held our breath, went white, and stared at him ...... but the bidding continued and we breathed a collective sigh of relief!! Not sure if we helped punch the price up, but it was all for charity anyway, so no harm done!! Note to self - when attending high value parties, keep my arms BY MY SIDE!!!

Thats it from me - just wanted to put the piecing footage up, and check in after last nights festivities. The Cult play in LA tomorrow night, and I am sure that I'll be going to that one. Excited to see the band again, and no doubt Ricky and I will be meeting up down there to discuss Diablo strategy while Mr Duffy does his thing on the stage. If you are going, have a great time. If you are not going .....WHY NOT??!!!

Peace

Billy

I can't go, Billy, I live in Reno. However I have had the pleasure of seeing the Cult several times through the years, starting w/ Sonic Temple tour. I'm sure the show will be great!

Have a great day

Hey Billy

I checked out the Circus Diablo myspace page and put an add up. You have inspired me to try to get a band I was in when I was about 19 on the go again and try to re-record some of the stuff we done years ago. the band arecalled Bob and we have a myspace page on the go. Thanks for the inspiration and we will definitly take a page out of your studio book and try to keep it raw. CFR has been gettin funnier each week and constantly keeps me entertained, I'm gonna have to call you guys some week from N.Ireland when I work out the time difference haha!!!. Get the Album out asap can't wait to hear that one and the panic channel.

Keep up the good work my friend

That's a sight for sore eyes!

Do you have any other body piercing videos you'd like to share with us?

Brilliant clip! I especially loved the ladies who were turning various shades of green and looking to spew any second. Two thumbs way up!

I don't have tickets tomorrow (I suck). Concert is sold out (I really suck). I'm gonna miss it (I suck beyond all suck).

Enjoy!!!! I'm there in spirit!

I'm with you, Billy, I had a tremendous time last night, granted, more fun when it's free, but there ARE still tix available for the Henry Fonda gig tomorrow night...give Billy Duffy a sloppy kiss for me, and Abby, if you read this, I saw that infamous musical instument of Chris Wyse's that struck you on the head at last year's gig at the Gig...Doheny's swan song, as it were...

Looking forward to great things to come, viva Circus Diablo!!

love,
jezzi

I just tried Ticketmaster and it said niente...where'd you find them Jezzi????

Posted by: Kate at March 6, 2006 03:42 PM

I'm not going because I'm at least a day away...is that a good enough reason?

Posted by: Simon at March 6, 2006 04:10 PM

Billy, will Matt being playing drums for you guys when you tour or have you got someone else in mind? Are you looking for a full time drummer or just someone who can fill the gap when needed?

Cheers

Posted by: Simon at March 6, 2006 05:29 PM

Billy,

Is it at all strange going to see The Cult for you or just another gig? You've made no bones about your affection for the guys and the time you were involved in the band, a bit weird or all good?

Thank you,
Jay

Posted by: Jay at March 6, 2006 08:45 PM

Very entertaining,

looks like fun! Telly peircing V-blog is good stuff, that lady who kept covering her eyes was hilarious! Glad you had a great time at Elton John's party, one would expect no less!

Cult- I can't attend the show you're going to as I currently happen to be in a diferent country than that gig.

Question- Are you still digging Myspace and if so, will you soon be launching your own personal Billy Morrison profile?

Posted by: Spencer at March 6, 2006 09:16 PM

Kate, I just tried them again,funny, they were letting me go through when I posted before..well, just goes to show...I AM an idiot!! But, I will say this, there will always be someone selling their unwanted ticket at the door. and lack of tickets has never stopped us before, has it, dear Kate? wink wink

love to all, maybe I'll be smarter in the morning

Awesome video!!! I loved the woman in the audience who was obviously disturbed by the whole thing. Hilarious!! Thanks for sharing.

Posted by: Bonita at March 7, 2006 07:24 AM

I'm heading to the concert tonight and see if I can get a ticket there. Worst case scenario... I don't get in. Best case... up against the stage!

Posted by: Kate at March 7, 2006 08:17 AM

Hysterical image of that woman being offended, I don't know why it cracks me up to see people reacting like they just smelled a can of bad tuna. Reminds me of when I got my nose piercing. When that went through, my, did I feel like I just ate a whole bunch of really spicy horseradish!

So nice to see you joining your guys for an evening of The Cult. And before I forget, I just noticed you posted about being in NYC and the RnR HOF. I didn't expect that because of the whole Lydon thing. I'm going to be hopping around the city that night, and would love to bump into you all...can you drop any hints as to where you all might be hanging out before or after the ceremony? It would be great to be able to say Hi to you! You wouldn't happen to be joining AIC and Navarro in AC too, would you? Looks like the whole gang is going to be in town! All hail the Pontiff! :P

Some bloke was in the paper today as he broke the world record for piercings in one session - 1015 over a nine hour period. He collapsed from shock at the end. At one point they were putting in 3 a minute!

Anyway in case you miss my question here it is again -

As the Oscar's is all about them thesps getting their due recognition, and justifying why they stay in such a hard business I'm wondering -

Billy what is your ultimate accolade in being a musician? I'm pretty sure you love what you do, you make a good living and have some awesome experiences because of it. But what 'award'/oscar equivalent [though I don't wish to simplify the potential answer] would you look to aim for. That's if it is an award or even if you need something to validate what you do, as I'm sure you don't, but those actors have the Oscars, what are you gunning for?

Billy ,
OUCH! Did it really not hurt??

My sister says she saw you on VH1 . 100 best toys and you were talking about Dominos. True?
I would like to see that. Is it new?

Cannot wait for Circus Diablo. I need some new music for my mp3.

LuvXXX, Terri

Posted by: Terri at March 7, 2006 12:18 PM

Was that the James Whale show? He was such an insuferable git and I'd always end up watching it after spending a late night/early morning round at my girlfriends [now wifes]. Also wazs that Princess Di in the audience?

Posted by: d_Wez in da Haus at March 7, 2006 12:20 PM

Hey man, whats your favourite tattoo?

Posted by: Mark at March 7, 2006 12:21 PM

Everywhere I've called is either sold out or charging double/triple the price for tonight. Grr and argh. I think it might end up being a PS2 night with Dragon Quest 8. HAVE FUN

Posted by: Kate at March 7, 2006 03:15 PM

eeewwwww! Blood was running out of you!
I passed out when I got my ear pierced & there was no blood - I guess that's why you get paid the big bucks Billy! lol
Change of topic ~
Madonna at Coachella - thoughts?

Kate - surely between you & Jezzi, you can find an unguarded door somewhere... hehehe
(*ahhhh* good times, good times)

Posted by: laurie tuttle at March 7, 2006 05:36 PM

list of piercings? i thought i heard you say on CFR...YES!!!...that you're a member of the member's club. i want to see video of THAT!

what's your favorite moment in the recording process,...ie. writing it? recording it? playing around with that recording? hearing the finished song? sending it out into the world? and why??

Posted by: mary at March 7, 2006 06:23 PM

OMG- Billy, did my eyes just see you on a segment for VH1 "I Love Toys"
you assembling a toy plane?
I only caught the end, gotta catch a replay.
=)

Posted by: Nichole at March 7, 2006 07:59 PM

Yeah When is that VH1 thing on?

Hey Billy , Where did you get that red and white shirt in the Circus Diablo pic?
I love your clothes.


Could Billy and everyone here reccomend some cds to me.
I got the Oasis and Incubus Billy mentioned but I need some new music. I am tired of everything on my mp3 except for Doheny And Stimulator of course :)
Luv XXX, Terri

John Lydon is going to be on Jonesey's Jukebox this Friday!

I remember asking if he'd ever be on there way back.

And I'm sad cos Mr Jones has apparently taken me off his friends list. Hey what gives?!
He took a lot of us off. Bla.

The Test Icicles are breaking up. They excited me.

Over and out.

Hugs
