i cant remember it but he said putting up with his lyrics and stuff... and then said "but thankfully this isnt one of mine" or words to that effect :o

my memory is shit
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    it was before Indifference wasn't it ?
    along the lines of "I've written some shit lyrics... but this isn't one of them..."
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    i had a flashback there and wondered if he was slagging off one of the other band members lyrical ability... didnt think he would right enough.. especially not on stage
