Yeah Bill was great. Amazing comic mind. I saw him live in 1993 in Melbourne. However, I have seen equally as talented and gifted comics. One of them is Rich Hall. Genius. George Carlin, genius. So is Larry David. Bill gets more attention from outside America as he hung shit on America and couldn't bare to see the hypocrisy. Don't just think you know all about comedy because you heard a few Bill Hicks cds. Go dig some more out.
We need a new Bill Hicks now, comedy just isnt as raw, intelligent and honest as it was when Hicks was still around, Im sure the world would be a different place if Hicks had survived, reached his full potential and gained the popularity he obviously disserved ... i mean what would he have said about little bush jnr and obama
bill hicks the hendrix of comedy

For me it was far too much of an over view of Bills life. I really wished they concentrated on the substance of his work in more detail.

Bill was great. Patton Oswalt, Louis CK and David Cross are equally important, so like them before they die.

I think documentaries about people's lives have become far too thorough in the past few years. A person's life is not as interesting as their work.
