The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Evil lives within you especially as you bite rabbits ears off on film and don’t seemingly care. I am scared and also rather thrilled. I am proud you are my boss but relieved I don’t have to see you all that often.

Dear Robert, this film will gain you many fans, but I am afraid your young audience may start to turn their backs on you. Emma saw it and she was laughing and giggling till she saw you bite the ears off your wonderfully cute rabbit. Now she’s in tears and called you a naughty man. Just thought you’d want to know. Nice to see my children’s futures are in safe hands. Love Mary x

You have raised the bar, or maybe lowered it.

Mary, I have just emailed you a clip showing ‘Nabs’ [the rabbit] is not only in good health, but enjoyed his premier ‘stunt performance’ on youtube.

Hope this makes your household a happier place to be because I would never want to upset your 3 beauties PLUS I am very, very aware of how important the ‘young audience’ is in the career of a errrrrrm, musical God. Ahem.

By the way, I am still hiding in my cupboard, so if anyone wants me, use the secret ‘knock’!

I’ll teach you to scare my kids. Well I will when you’ve stopped scaring me with those demonic notes that are coming out of your mouth. Mindboggling genius.

better than balls of jelly and brain of steel.

George … I told you I had been possessed!

Bazza … I don’t know which one it is but congratulations on such a genius career-limiting move. Now that certainly takes balls.

Andy … what the fuck are you on about?

theres no way any normal woman would hang around after she saw that fucking nightmare, so i am assuming she has gone and you are heartbroken. im fucking being considerate alright!

you deserve eachother then, mr fuckwit. 🙂

George, given growing up I was always seen as the nice guy my mates could trust to give their girlfriends a lift home … that’s the nicest compliment I’ve ever had. Ha!

Get out Age … get out while you still can!

Just be greatful I didn’t decide to play a ‘real’ solo in the middle of the song – I’d of loved to, but Jill warned me of not being too ‘over-indulgent’ … ha!

Takes one to know one.

How mature am I eh?

Hmmm, about as mature as a 36 year old man singing a Scorpions song while playing ‘air-drums/guitar/ozzy osbourne biting ears off animals’ can be, I guess!

I fucking hate the scorpions.

Winston, you big spunk, you!

Genius. Absolute genius.
Now if only we could get you and Sacrum to do a duet…

Don’t put ideas into Marcus’ head Mr M!

…should at least get a mention in campaign.

My life is over … unless Klaus resigns from The Scorps. Lets petition for it, it could be the only way I can earn an income after this … ha!

I think he passed out after seeing the above ‘flick’

NP – I’ve done queen. I’ve done queen.

I’ll be posting a version of Radio GaGa later today. Done by two drunken creatives in Hamburg. Trust me, this is history in the making.

What nice painting?

And dear Freddie must be turning in his grave. More at the missed royalties than the song massacre, ha!

go check out marcus’ blog rob – he’s done a beautiful painting again!! he’s on fire!

Don’t Lauren, he’ll perform Jerry Lewis.

No it isn’t.

hmmm… must have missed that sketch. but i think i don’t really want to know, do i?

NP, you meant Jerry LEE Lewis … the guy who wrote GREAT BALLS OF FIRE and married his teenage cousin or something, not the fucking poxy comedian with a similar name.

Pah … the youth of today.

Right … well I might do ANOTHER one to make sure I properly make a fool of myself then.

Hmmmmn, what could I do – Thompson Twins, Adam & The Ants, Toto [for Fred] Human League or just get a grip … acknowledge I had a lucky escape and shut the fuck up.

Let me have a think about it …

Legendary.

I am only being cheeky … And it’s wonderful to have you back, if only to stir up more weirdness on my blog. Ha.

Love your post on ‘craft’ … but I don’t know whether what we do is worthy of such a grandiose headline. Sure there is a skill in doing what we do, well – but to call it a craft? Not sure … always smacks of people wanting to justify/validate their own position – even though I know that isn’t what you were trying to do.

Would love to see what you’ve done because as I wrote on your blog, I believe satisfaction only comes from triumphing over some issue and by the sound of it – you had a few to overcome.

Good on you mate … we need more like you!

I’ll second that!

(I seconded the comment about NP)

I did try Ratamahatta by Sepultura, but it wasnt very good…

I seem to create it. Doesn’t mean I like it. Although, you’re right…I do.

Even Jill is going to do one [supposidly] so you HAVE to Mr M!!! Have to …

Easy … as in ‘it is easy to do’ OR ‘careful there fella’

Please explain!

As in:

“Eaaasy Eaaasy Eaaaasy!”

Angus … just saw your comment, as a man who knows ‘legendary’, that is a major compliment. I think. It was meant as one wasn’t it? Ha!

No self respecting musician would ever play alongside Rick Astley if they werent desiring fame… or money.

A job well done then!

You almost had me there Marcus … I had to go and check. Bastard. 🙂

Just kicked out Klaus. Wanna join the band?

It’s the GOLD of iPOD Singing … it better be … but you Germans are always good at coming up trumps when it really matters so who knows what you have up your sleeve.

Mind you, if NP does The Smiths … he will either take top spot with a rocket, or cause mass suicide across the globe.

Why the hell do you want to know if Andy is doing well? Of course he is … he’s a millionaire, living in an amazing pad in NYC, married to a babe, doing some of the most imaginative work with some of the best clients in the World and still able to be rude and fat to all he meets.

That’s known as ‘living the dream’ … the lucky, lucky bastard! Ha.

Still fucking hate the Scorps.

Ah and by the way: Spandex will keep you young at heart, Rob.

Bloody rubbish Euro-Rock. Fucking hate it.

Hello Sir Winston Churchill, Winston. To be honest: I hate bloody rubbish Euro-Rock as well. None the less it made me fucking rich and I am allowed to wear Spandex pants as often as I like to do. But the best thing: I am still alive.

And yes, I am a girl.

I may be dead, but at least I look good in a pair of spandex trousers. Which is more than can be said for you Herr Schenker.

Bloody liberals.

I am confused …

Angus … on your blog it says – and I quote – “ANGUS WHINES
An Aussie guy working as a planner in Europe”

So how come you are a girl????

Marcus, surely everyone knows The Scorps had Michael Schenker on guitar then left, rejoined, left, rejoined, left and then formed UFO and then MSG [Michael Schenker Group – not the bad food additive]

And Seb … errrrm, yes you’re right but he’s buggered off to shoot an ad in Rio [tough life] so I will have to wait till he comes back before I kill him. [Assuming the hoods in Brazil don’t get to him first, ha!]

Thanks for that Rob. I am shocked that Marcus was unaware of this…

I just like fucking with people. And pretending the blog’s not mine, for obvious reasons. I am a girl.

Fucking quality. Never heard the scorpions, but I don’t think I have to bother now..

Easy, Easy, Easy!!!

I bloody love ELO me.

Officially Most Commented Post EVER

Congratulations to me … pity it’s based on a flagrant lack of smartness, ha!

Steely Dan beats 10cc.

Too true. Yes, I’m an Aussie, but if you believe what I write in that line I have at times been Swedish, Polish and French too.

I look forward to that respectfulness, but do not deserve it.

10CC.

Never in the pantheon of German rock, has so much been sung to so few!

Einstürzende Neubauten

Hello Angus. I think I’d rather hide the fact I am an Aussie than really a girl, ha!

I like your style, I like it alot. For some reason, the ladies on this blog fucking rock – but not as much as the Scorps. Obviously. When Andy hears of this, Lauren will have some serious competition as to who is the most evil [which is a compliment for Andy]

John – welcome – I read your blog and love it so it’s quite the honour you have popped along over here. [But I am easily pleased]

Do you think people would notice me if I’d be singing in the tube station as opposed to the uber-violinist that was treated like wallpaper? Don’t disappoint me now … ha.

Marcus … all I need to be famous is run down the street naked fucking a turkey. What you’ve done is make me infamous. Far better – so thank you.

Mr Churchill – Steely Dan make me physically sick and I don’t care how great a leader you were. [Not great enough to win the election post the war though eh! Finicky Brits!]

Finally Mr M … you have to appreciate that in my musical career as a session player, I only worked with people who had 2 hits at the most – so anyone who can claim more than that [ie: ELO] are worthy of the ‘hits’ moniker – certainly more so than Jennifer Fucking Rush.

Right I am off to bed – feel free to rant / slag / bitch while I sleep.

I’ve just written tomorrow’s post and I know it won’t be nearly as comment-inducing as this. How can it be, it’s not featuring me in a Class A ‘tit’ role, ha!

Night all … thank you for bothering and popping by … more than I deserve and suggest you check out some of the blogs of the people who posted comments – because they actually are interesting, especially compared to this.

bloody liberals.

Aussies rule Rob. You know it.

You know what I mean Rob … page impressions or whatever the like. Same fucking thing you pedantic sod, hahaha!

And yes Angus, I know Aussies rule, that’s why I am marrying one [well, a part time one, she’s Canadian at all other times!]

I concur that Aussies do in fact rule.

Is this a record for comments Rob? And all it took was a humble 5 minute youtube video of a madman screaming in an echoey apartment, doing sexually charged rock and roll things with his fingers and biting the ears off a weird looking Asian toy!

Nabaztag is French – NOT ASIAN – and he rocks, in fact he rocks harder than Ozzy in a room filled with Coke, Marshall stacks and a microphone.

You know I love Aussies really … well, the Aussies who aren’t fucking obsessed with their image or success ‘on a World stage’. Or answer to the name of ‘Channel 7/9/10 Television Presenter’.
