DIABLO PLAY WITH ALICE/REVOLVER

The good news is that I finished Halo 3. The bad news is that its now all about the Online games!! Yep, I run around online, killing and being killed (its not hard to know that its me if you run across me – my screen name is obvious!) and creating video game carnage whenever I can. But work and real life have a tendency to creep back in, so I have been playing less and less – probably a good thing! Camp Freddy Radio was great this weekend…..I was on my own, but had tons of callers and a lot to talk about and discuss. Plus I felt the songs I chose worked well. Its kinda like doing a gig – some shows are good, and some are bad. Its just the way it goes. I felt this weeks show was a winner – hope the ones of you who listened felt the same.

So, I am off to Miami and Nassau this week to do some Djing and some shark feeding!! I intend to take an underwater camera guy with me to try and video that dive, cos I’ll be wanting to share that shit with you lot in a V-Blog. No promises but I’ll see what I can do. Either way, expect more Morrison TV from me after this trip, for sure!! Also, I think its safe to tell you that Circus Diablo will be opening the Velvet Revolver/Alice In Chains show on October 26th at the Verizon Amphitheater in Irvine, CA. We are very excited by that one – the line up will be Ricky, Charles, Rob and our friend Patrick Cornell who has been playing bass guitar with us when Brett has been unavailable. Matt called and invited us to do the show and who wouldn’t wanna open THAT gig? So there you have it – a quickie Diablo outing. We’ll probably do a local LA club as well. And we are setting up some West Coast clubs for late November and early December. Fun stuff.

And now to the questions:

Peebs – The Bahamas thing is a wonderful invite from some of the people involved with Atlantis on Nassau. They have invited me down to take a look around, asked me to DJ in Miami while I am in the area, and generally are being amazing hosts. I have no idea what Dave’s thing was, but I do know that Atlantis is attracting a lot of people down there – great clubs, easy vacation…..whats not to like! The movies (Evilution and Basement Jack) are now in the hands of others (ie – not mine!) – so I don’t really know. They now sort out distribution, marketing etc …same as the music business. Who knows what happens. When I find out, I’ll let you know!

Marku – The Pistols are playing a special show at The Roxy on Sunset on October 25th and yes Beth and October, I will of course be attending! How could I not??

Simon – See the Halo 3 synopsis above! Campaign is done….multiplayer online in process. NOT hard to find me!

BKSlice – New York is 3000 miles away. When someone wants to pay us enough to get to the East Coast, we will be there in a heartbeat!

Paula – Yes indeed. The last time I was in London was, I believe, when The Cult PLAYED at Brixton Academy!! So it will indeed be strange to return. The good news is that it’s a fleeting visit! As much a I love Londoners, the city itself has gone to shit, and I’ll take the sunshine over grey skies any day, thank you very much.
Kelly – Merch is always on my mind. But it’s a case of getting around to it. Maybe 2008 will see a Billy Morrison solo album, the second Diablo album, the Camp Freddy album, and tee shirts for ALL!!!

Danni – George Carlin ROCKED. At 70 years old, he still comes out swinging and doesn’t stop for an hour. I call him the Punk Rock Comedian cos all he does is piss people off and I LOVE it. Nothing like offending whole sections of society while simply stating the TRUTH!!!

OzMerica – Quite frankly, I have no idea who programs the playlists at Indie. I know they put us on for a week or so, but I don’t know (or really care) how all that works. I have enough on my plate actually writing and recording the songs. I certainly cant worry about who’s playing them and who’s not!

Mary – Two cars. The all purpose SUV and the flashy weekend toy. Trouble is, I drive the flashy weekend toy EVERY DAY!! Not clever having stupidly expensive rims and tires and curbing them once a month!! Dream car? Aston Martin Vanquish.

That’s all the questions answered. PS - HAD to come back on and post this pic!! Clint Eastwood got NUTHIN on me!! Jen and I popped over to see Sharon and Ozzy at the weekend for a birthday party, and part of the proceedings involved a small pony, tons of cream cake and an amazing sunset. Needless to say we had a blast. Not sure about the pony though - I think he knew I wasn't exactly sure of what I was doing!! Thats it. Gonna go. See ya.

Hi Bill- off to z land are ya?

Thanx for answering my question. Yes, that show rocked. I love tuning in because it is always a good laugh:) The interaction between you and the callers is priceless I wonder if it was a good show for the girl (Chrissy?) with the vest?

Have a good week:)Db

Have loads fun and let us know if you find "it's" better in the Bahamas! ;-)

I was just talking to a guy at work who went fishing this weekend and someone caught a sand shark. Way too many sharks in the NY area lately!

Wow! Now I must go to the Irvine show!

Ah hahahahah!! Love the pony ride but that toy story bouncer is DA SHIT! I hope you and Jen got to bounce around in there!

I heard Ozzy and Sharon moved out to the countryside. Nikki Sixx was on Opie and Anthony promoting his book and said he moved there and Ozzy was a neighbor (along with a few other Rockstars). Seems the place to be.

He said jokingly he was going to go and "TP" Ozzy's house but we all saw what Sharon could do with a ham over the fence so maybe Nikki should keep the toilet paper off the Osbourne property! ;-)

Billy,

How did you get tickets for the Sex Pisols?

You are right, Clint Eastwood got nuthin on you, and neither does the Rhinestone Cowboy.

Velvet Revolver / Alice in Chains / Circus Diablo. Grrrrrr! I am sooooo jealous and hopping mad I can't make it, work commitments, worse luck, otherwise I'd make the trip to sunny LA especially for it! And you'll be pleased to know, Billy, that it's pouring with rain here in London at the moment! Have a WONDERFUL time, everyone who's going, and I want to hear all about it with loads of pictures.

ha, Billy, just invite Dave and you can have a CF show too.

Wish we could make it, I'd LOVE to see that show.
