Definatley a dancefloor filler , only ever heard about 4 or 5 songs of his but I love them all , just happy fun music. I should probably download a few albums actually.

I love that one he did with the Jackass crew , We Want Fun.

I liked his songs. It was foreseeable that the concept would only make for one (or maybe half an) enjoyable album, but enjoyable it was. I remember playing the first song of the first album to a friend and he went "That sounds like a friggin beer commercial." I suppose it was one, in a sense. Fun, though.

Good call, the man rocks! A lot of dross but when he hits the nail on the head he's perfect. Girls on Love, Party Hard, awesome songs. I bought "The Wolf" but I don;t think I ever listened to all of it.

"I Get Wet" is a great album. I think there are three proper albums altogether. I'm not too familiar with the second one, but the third one isn't so great. I think he tried to grow as a musician or something.

anyone heard Children of Bodom's cover of AWK's "She is Beautiful"? it's equal parts badass and hilarious!
IF THERE'S A SOUND YOU PLAY THAT DOESN'T FIT TODAY,
WHY NOT JUST PLAY THE BASTARD ANYWAY?!

One of the first gigs I ever went to see must have been about fourteen, he were playing alongside Lost Prophets, BRMC and The Coral....

Although he comes across on stage as a no-holds-barred party-obsessed fun-a-holic headcase, if anyone has been fortunate enough to hear his two cents, or heard an interview with him, he is sincerely one of the most articulate people I have ever heard speak. He's really into astronomy, philosophy and searching for answers in life...I'm dead fucking serious....

Maybe there was a breakdown somewhere between the brain and the pen, though to be fair he were typecast from day one

Nonetheless, awesome bloke

Awesome band

Awesome Big Jim wanna-be on guitar :wink:

*wonders* how many of you lot have actually heard yourself praising what can only be described as rocks equivalent to the Fast Food Rockers*

Oh dear oh dear oh dear
Did you just say "Pig Flute"?

You miserable sod!
The big, daft oaf is pure entertainment and in a world where most bands take themselves far too seriously,he's a refreshing change.
I've seen him quite a few times and his gig at Leeds festival was magnificent. He turned the entire crowd around from bottling him to a mass of people going nuts and having a great time.
Has to be said that the 'Close Calls With Brick Walls' album is bobbins though, but 'I Get Wet' and 'The Wolf' are full-on, dumb-ass quality.

I love/d The Wolf - one long adrenaline boost!
I think it's the track 'Totally Stupid' that seems to be 100% chorus!

My excuse is that I grew up listening to Meat Loaf and Bon Jovi (:oops: :oops:), overblown bollocks is what's been forced into me! (ooerr)
