The Jesus Chainsaw MassacreOctober 30, 2008 at 8:49 am
Im psyched about ICP. Maybe they’ll wrestle on stage to. Maybe there will be juggalo girls drinking faygo. Maybe it will be just a bunch of nazis, hillbillies, and wigger trash. Or is that our show? What a quandry. What to do. What to do.

At the risk of all my credibility, the article on ICP in Real Detroit or Metro Times is actually pretty good. One time I was at Stables Bar and in the bathroom and ran into Shaggy from ICP. I know this because he introduced himself as Shaggy from ICP…..in the bathroom. The next time I was at Stables a few months ago I was jumped in the parking lot and wailed on. Not by ICP but still funny.

I’m pretty sure it’s Kommie Kilpatrick

Your credibility has been judged and wasted. But is it really a wsate for the sake of humor. Nope, not when it’s funny. Speaking of un-funny:
“Just some thoughts said…
I’m pretty sure it’s Kommie Kilpatrick”
Also, what a horrible name for a band. And I though our bandname was bad.

Kommie Kilpatrick is a million times better of a name then “the jesus chainsaw massacre”
Bryan MetroOctober 31, 2008 at 7:57 am
Sorry Andrew. I’m currently changing all of all HTML’s and press kits from The JCM to either “The Coleman Young Rascals” or “The Disgays”. Lemmie flip a coin.
