scottheisel Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Apparently the following night in Canada, these dudes got booed off the stage. They've since dropped off the rest of the tour due to "illness." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotnerd Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 you could tell his bandmates are just like "goddamnit billy bob..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutinyzine Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 you could tell his bandmates are just like "goddamnit billy bob..." Maybe, but they didn't really seem like nice dudes either. I think the only one excited about the interview was the guy doing it. Very funny clip though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatlinemole Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 but seriously... is it typical for a touring band to do an interview at 6 am? i agree, BillyBob was a dildo, but him sounding/looking like he was 'strung out on some shit'... i look the same way at 6 in the morning! and that also explains why the other members didn't seem excited to be there.

teganandsara Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The band could have declined the interview if they did not want to get up at 6 am. What pisses me off was the way Billy acted of course he could give a shit if the band looks bad he goes home to his "movie" money. the rest of the band make their money from this band Billy you just screwed some one else out of making money. That is what pisses me off about Billy he does not take the band thing seriously he should go back to his "movies" ooo wait I was not supposed to mention those.

That is what pisses me off about Billy he does not take the band thing seriously he should go back to his "movies" ooo wait I was not supposed to mention those. i finally listened to all of it.. in all fairness, the guy kept going back to his acting career instead of just saying.. ok that's cool" when bily bob said "you aren't suppose to talk about my career. we told you r producer". the interviewer does act like he's clueless to billy bob's statement, then mentions later that the producer did tell him... nonetheless, they should have both acted accordingly. but both failed. billy bob shouldn't have been such an ass.. but the interviewer should have obliged. i'm starting to think maybe billy bob was just being an ass and avoiding the questions just like the interviewer avoided his statement. that's just me.

cj Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 billy boob definitely overreacted. everybody knows hes an actor and 99% of the people dont give a shit that hes a musician. Mike: i think it's a good dj's job to keep going on a topic thats going to produce something awesome. i'm sure a lot of people have heard about this, and if the guy would have just shut up about it there would have been no story. biggest thing is that billy bob thornton is a fucking dick. he's always an asshole, and has always been crazy. remember when he wore a vial of angelinas blood around his neck? fuck him, and its not just because i'm canadian. hes an asshole. he was right about fans being pretty boring here sometimes, but i account most of that to the fact they are playing for old people in theatres and not in clubs.

I'm not saying Billy bob wasn't being an asshole (because he was), but the dj could have at least eased up on him and not have kept pushing the movie star aspect, even after he was asked not too twice. I know he was explaining himself, but he could have just left it at that and kept going on with the interview. yes, and that vile of blood thing was kinda weird... but then again ive heard people do so much worse. .

mediocore Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Tons of bands do the morning radio circuit when they're on tour. Morning radio is typically the best way to reach a radio audience... them's the breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

controlthebleeding Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I don't blame the DJ. You have to put your "interviewees" in context. It's not like he was asking Billy Bob what his next movie was. The DJ was getting incoherent and irrelevant-to-the-question responses. Just be decent. You're being interviewed because you're a movie star which put you in the position to be heard. it would have been funny to say , dude, the only reason your band is getting anywhere at all is because of you.. not because of their music.. that would have been awesome!!!
