Bill Hicks interview pt. 1 - Worst gig ever.

[ibanezgeorge]

Wow, Louisiana seems fucked. 

[isoSkroting]

I would happily cut off my ear if I could go back in time and see Bill Hicks live.

[AlthoughNotAFollower]

Lol, Bill was fat for about three days, apparently.

[bobdy9988]

R.I.P

William Melvin Hicks

1961 - 1994

[ARKBUILDER100]

@bobdy9988 He deserves it-a peace more blissful than this war-torn,consumer driven world may ever have.God bless him (whether he`believed`or not).Never knew him,too young to see him-here in England-but love this man!

[NathanXPablo]

and then earl couldnt find his hat hahahaha LMFAO Bill Hicks is seriously one in a million

[skrewflanders]

you can't make this kinda shit up.

[passiveMenis]

The South should be turned into a giant Walmart

[PassionofACritic]

@HeLovesCulture holy shit. It's cool to have a role model or an influence, but fuck...that's exagerrating a great comics pedigree.

[starcladsol]

Hillbilly central, not a place to drop acid in....

[Daazbee]

About 22 minutes, that's pretty precise.

[evade531]

i always laugh when bill says knife fight , so funny

[slattikarma]

what a story teller... just as good off stage as on

[iamextremelyawesome]

i used to think he was funny. arizona bay was a great album. but now when i listen to him i just hear a grinding noise. oh wait that's just my dick dragging on the ground.

[TheHockeyCentral]

What you gonna do shoot me?

He said, "I might..."

LOL

[thomasford]

@tinman40492

I'm sure if someone raped your mom in front of you you wouldn't forget it either. Doesn't make the rapist good because he burned an awful memory into your head.

[thomasford]

Obviously we should do a little genocide in whatever area he's talking about.

[warning122112]

@PYRO...REALLY THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY...YOU HATE ALL SOUTHENERS. WOW GET A LIFE DUDE/OR BETTER YET EVOLVE.

[warning122112]

Bill if you somehow find the earth internet where you are: your incredible/a true human being simply who you are and I admire you and I can't wait to meet the entity that you are. I don't know how you Really passed away/but it shows that this planet is fucked up and here it is 2011 and still people don't get it. I can't wait till people do.

[jemapenny1993]

There is so much creaking leather in this video. I love you, Bill :)

[DavTaranto]

:(

Just why?

[TangledUpInBlue10]

37 people are still dancing...

[itsthearistocrat]

...and then Earl couldn't find his hat.

[naughtyboymessiah]

hicks paid the price for being different. stand up comedy is brutal and brave at the best of times.

[jamesjjjspike]

good times...MAY YOU LIVE FOREVER!

[SomeTrespassing]

@HeLovesCulture I'm moving there too ;D

[stuart7034]

im from ireland went to bill in belfast , ibelieve he was responsible for the peace. that night i seen ira , uvf men protestant , catholic rich ,poor men women straight ,gay and within a year n ireland started on the road to peace

[MangaNeoLeo]

@stuart7034 It's worse now. He planted an idea, but their idiotic sectarian minds blocked it out.

[USAFSmiley87]

@HeLovesCulture Heh yeah, and Im just gonna guess that from your user name, you stood out to them for liking culture?

[lllflypaperlll]

9/11 was an inside job

[ThisIsEndgame]

@lllflypaperlll random...but true. hicks would have talked about it as well in his act if he lived long enough

[BenjiBren]

Doing that on LSD...is just fucking unbelievable! I would've shot myself, wouldnt be able to handle it! But then again he is bill hicks!

[bobdy9988]

I wish he was still alive. But I guess, the good always die young.

[JMarchOHare]

He's braver than I am. I probably would not have gone back and I DEFINITELY would not have gone back on acid. That drug is for walking in the woods and skinny-dipping with a hot lady, not for confronting drunk rednecks with guns.

[USAFSmiley87]

@JMarchOHare hahahaha looking at Bill's face I think this really scared the shit out of him, maybe he quit LSD because of this incident. or not.

[hottyismenotu]

take my FB survey, please :) I need stats on it for a project!!!! only 6 questions.

see the link @: youtube.com/watch?v=cFsLByvfp6­8

[thebenchwarmer]

holy.. shite.. I'm sitting here almost in disbelief of what he's saying.. because i'm wondering how shit can get this bad..

[FriendlyGeekClassics]

@HeLovesCulture are you an inbred faggot???only faggots like austin.

[hulliscorrupt]

I just want to listen to this guy 24/7.

[dreadedhalo]

"they're all armed" Thank god for the NRA, right guys!?

[FriendlyGeekClassics]

@dreadedhalo they would be armed irregardless of the nra you idiot.

[dreadedhalo]

@FriendlyGeekClassics That too, even though my comment was aimed at the NRA.

You must really feel alive insulting people through youtube, grow up kid.

[FriendlyGeekClassics]

@dreadedhalo i accept your apology in advance.

[phuckstix69]

good story teller for sure

[guthax30]

@HeLovesCulture Yeah. from what i hear i Austin is pretty much like a beautiful sparkly oasis in the desert of despair that is Texas.

[Sjaakdevries1]

I'd say all of his gigs the unfunny, self rightous fat fuck.

[rawjokes]

@Sjaakdevries1 go in your basement and pull the trigger you fucking cunt.

[Sjaakdevries1]

@rawjokes You're as funny as Bill...was:)

[channelgoer]

@Sjaakdevries1 fuck off you humorless cooter, before I hobble my cock up your ass. He is widely considered one the greatest comics of all time, if you don't think so go back to your droll cable guy and hang yourself.

[megamad80]

@HeLovesCulture (you sure do buddy, you sure do)

first. the third world latin americans you talk about are the same that approximately compound 50 percent of your country population

second. its not definately, its definitely

third. this latin american has more education and grammar knowledge than you in your own language, asshole

(i dont give a shit if your comment was 5 months ago)

[sayroni]

O_O HOLY SHIT DUDE

[LacksCommonSense]

That's a helluva story.

[toolbass24]

My gave comedian...and I'm young. Rip

[procrastinator99]

Oh Earl, you're always loosing your hat.

[ZeroRed78]

=D Perfect environment for a trip Bill....

[barudzija7]

bill hicks is my fucking hero. i grew up and live in houston texas and can relate to everything he says. especially about louisiana. they hate texans especially houstonians.

[barudzija7]

oh and i hate this fucking place but at least there are comedy clubs.

[kulgan18]

I think there are some clubs in northern cities that are like that.

Probably they wouldn't all be armed, but still filled with violent assholes.

[JJFrancio6314]

@HeLovesCulture Austin is great, I used to live there, but I moved to France

[trainofaaron]

LOL Bill should of went Road House on his ass

[123hero321]

Hicks, absolute fucking legend. I'm going to say that again ABSOLUTE FUCKING LEGEND... Thank you.

[LeoRikimaru]

The dude had balls man. Fucking Bill Hicks man. Legend.

[pyro80]

@HeLovesCulture I wasn´t trying to say that all southeners are prejudiced hicks, there are lot of rational and decent people like you in the south. It´s just that incidents like this real tarnish the south´s image.

[bobdy9988]

@HeLovesCulture You wanna try England mate. It's everything you said + shit weather.

[DrunkNinja19]

@bobdy9988 Bollocks it is, England is a brilliant place. Definitely beats the deep south.

[Dude11191]

This is why everbody hates fucking hillbillie pussies.

[Dude11191]

The reason why people hate him is because they are brainwashed-falsley self righteous fucking idiots who cant think for themselves.Hey hey smoked weed everyday with bill hicks!

[xMeanBean]

can't believe he would ever wanna return..

[xMeanBean]

that is fucking scary

[pyro80]

to all southeners: shit like this is the reason everyone hates you

[mrgringo22]

"Blowjob. Blowjob. Blowjob."

[mrgringo22]

Central to Bill's brilliance was his simple, but nuanced, ability to tell a story. In a sense, he was a true raconteur.

[Hicks055]

That is some story!!

[SuckMyPeon]

Remember when Tommy threw up and then we killed that guy...and theeen earl couldnt find his hat.

[ojideagu]

@IknowJohnLear He looked a lot older then he was.

[dtpheif]

that was night one? who would have a nigh two, couldn't pay me enough (if i was funny) to do that twice

[matthewjamal]

like if john lennon were an american comedian.

[yourverysilly]

i want to find this bar!

[modelprisoner]

bh should not have been there, get the fuck out, don;t act like you're a fuckin hero in that environment.You were not wanted. it's not the end of the world.

[sssdfrfwrgr]

God, Louisiana sucks nuts.

[thpriest15]

Isn't that the same venue where Hicks lost it at the heckler ("Hitler had the right idea") ?

[SmokinMo11]

God I miss him.Bill was so funny & F-I-N-E. FINE!! I didnt even get a chance to do him! Damnit!!!

[paddedpencil]

@SmokinMo11 i'm with ya, mo! fine as hell

[OnlyTy91]

Wow! This was actually really funny, and he came across as a likeable guy! And I HATE this guy's stand-up, and TV appearances. I wish his stage-persona had been more laid-back, like he is here!

[kevtruth]

@OnlyTy91 You "HATE" his stand up? Well fine, I suppose comedy is subjective. And what TV appearances are you talking about? He didn't do any TV.

[OnlyTy91]

@kevtruth I don't know *why* I put tv appearances, actually. I must've had my mind somewhere else when I was typing. Ya know when you focus in on a word, you sometimes accidentally say it our loud, or write it? lol

But yeah, it's very subjective.

[komedydude]

Damn that is funny stuff. "Remember when Tommy threw up, then we killed that guy, and Earl couldn't find his hat." I'm glad Bill didn't get killed. That would have been terrible.

[fyfytj]

When was this interview done?

[MrWarrenLO]

Could you imagine the thought of Bill Hicks being killed by some ingrate in a desert and none of us ever getting to hear anything he did.

This world fucking sucks. lol

[Legadelo]

36 morons

[yumikokusho]

What a fucking trip. Wow.... just wow.

[TheDreamMechanic]

"...and then we danced...remember when Tommy threw up and we killed that guy....and THEN....Earl couldn't find his hat. HUU-HUU-HUU!!!"

Comedy right on the spot. Must have been one hell of an experience living as Bill Hicks in this world.

[wabashalwaysfights5]

what a fucking trip that would have been

[cornsnoggle]

when was this?

[gtafans93]

even now I wish he wasnt dead but ilI no after this life ill be drinking, smoking with him walking across the next plain of existance......... BRING THE WOMEN

[indigoDroog]

i googled every name he mentioned :) bill silva, ron shock, bill hicks promoted you :)

[arizonabay15]

@indigoDroog ....Search YouTube "Ron Shock the Bill Hicks chronicles"

[mumyn]

Why we live in world where Bill Hicks is dead and lady gaga walks the fuckin' planet?

[vegaspoet]

for some great bill hicks stories check out "ron shock, the bill hicks chronicles" in which i tell stories about bill and me (including this one)....ron shock (vegaspoet)

[MaxEm87]

people from louisiana are retarded what else is new?

[aserbula]

what a genius.... if there is eternal afterlife I want to spend it with Bill

[SKETCHedTV]

The 36 people who disliked this were at that show.

[TomMSTie1138]

@SKETCHedTV 36 cows need to go back to the herd.

[TheGibbo12345]

@SKETCHedTV Wow really? How do you know this? I just thought the 36 people who disliked this didn't enjoy watching it. And have a youtube account. Now I know.

[ThirstyDad65]

what a good fucking story teller

[RavenMad101]

stupid red neck assholes.  Why does it seem that the less intelligent a group of people is the more of them are armed to the teeth. Lets hope they all join the army too....oh wait they already did.

[imposibru]

note to self : NEVER. VISIT. LOUISIANA.

[kingsteve55]

This whole thing shoulda been a bit he did.

[NickMotown]

DAMMIT I STILL WANT TO HEAR WHAT HE WOULD HAVE TO SAY!! OK, excuse me for "yelling". Life isn't fair. Maybe I'm a bit selfish, but I know talent when I see it, and Bill is still my favorite comedian ever. I'd like to hear his comments on G.W. Bush, the current "economy", 9/11, and the state of the world in general. I'm willing to bet Bill would throw Miley Cyrus in with Debbie Gibson too. HAHA

[dannyd1572]

Gone too soon. Miss ya Bill.

[DrinkSkateSleep]

What year was this interview?

[cowie18]

@DrinkSkateSleep I'm pretty sure it's from 1991

[504pro]

How embarrassing.....not all of us are so barbaric here in La.

[rexasul]

@504pro LA? Not sure which is worse...

[CommanderSpooky]

I'm from Louisiana, not Baton Rouge thank god, and I wanted to say anyone who was there that night Bill is talking about are a bunch of fucking cock sucker mother fuckers. That is all. You fucking turds.

[BorderCityBandit]

I miss Bill,He was ahead of his time,and no I dont think he was appreciated in America,except by a few socially awkward outcast's like myself,but Europeans,sorry Bill was ours, just because the mainstream held him down and didnt except him,didnt mean that all Americans felt the same way,we didnt, being conservative had nothing to do with his non acceptance,he was revolutionary and ahead of his time and like all ppl like that ,they are only appreciated after they die,thats all, peace

[terracottapie]

@BorderCityBandit Most Americans are not idiots. Remember, Bush lost the legitimate popular vote twice, and could only take office by fraud both times. The assholes are louder, but we are not really a nation of idiots.

[BorderCityBandit]

@terracottapie I never said that Most of my fellow Americans were idiots,but back when was Alive and performing he was not widely accepted over here.I think that him being revolutionary and ahead of his time ,had something to do with, had he come along 10 years later, than he did ,shit would have been different.I cant imagine what Bill would be saying about our current shit in 2010,nearly 2011

[monsieurhassan]

Wow, thats wild . . . but thats why he was absolutely fearless, once you go through crap like that, its not gonna bother you if you bomb or kill

[drgdrf]

Fuck Leary's haters.

[obviouslylee]

How could anyone, possibly, for the love of all that is sacred, dislike this.

[schendervich]

I know where he's from, but if you guys believe these exaggerated stories you gotta be out of your mind. I've never ONCE been in any club where the music stops and people keep dancing, or where knife fights happen every night, and I've been to bars in kentucky, and mississippi, so where are these lunatic bars with these stereotype southern rednecks???

[sugalinja]

... and we danced... remember when Tommy throw up, and than we killed that guy.. and than Earl couldn't find his hat

:D

[shadowdaemon96]

@schendervich um, you know bill is from the south, right?

[schendervich]

I really really really like Bill Hicks, but this is bullshit. For some reason he is very prejudice to people from the south. I'm Canadian so don't take this as some southern dude standing up for himself, but the only thing I have against bill hicks is his constant shots to the southern people. This story is so obviously made up or GROSSLY exaggerated..

[rrhynes]

@schendervich He was born in Georgia, but spent most of his time in Texas. I doubt they have bars in Canada like they do in Baton Rouge.

[theroilsoil]

@schendervich

Are you sure about that? I guess you were there as well. :)

[getinthevan330]

34 turds on this planet weren't fully flushed for Bill's sake.

[xiz22]

@getinthevan330 who gives a fuck about those dislikers. its their free choice

[ClockworkRevolution]

@xiz22 Finally some logic. I'm sick of seeing "23 people are Justin Bieber fans" on every freaking video.

[eldorado61guy]

Didn't want to kill him as he says 'ran through the audience' .

[StageNameSadie]

@vegitovai90 what do you think, Vegito?

[StageNameSadie]

@br4ve why, are you? lmao

[StageNameSadie]

im bill hicks reincarnated as a woman

[br4ve]

@StageNameSadie No your not

[VegitoVai90]

@StageNameSadie

Are you still infatuated with Claudia Schiffers pussy?

[TwelveBridges]

"The crowd goes ooooooooo" hahaha

[JimmyJamaica68]

fat

[ridewave444]

Yeah, fucking crazy.

[beeflin]

"vibrancy"! LOL

[cbr0oks]

we killed that guy, then earl couldn't find his hat. huh huh!!

[kevhead66]

@cbr0oks I know, right. I about fell out my chair laughing at the end there

[lovosazul]

F,, what a spin-out!

[dacptn]

his ears hurt let him yell,lmao

[wearylady77]

34 people can suck my mind....

[liskovecsf]

@wearylady77 are you askin or givin?

[GBAPCLAN]

hes soo cool and such a dude

[pearlrachinsky]

bill is so adorable. he is wearing shoulder pads!

[Leonicdragon]

What's funny is here he is doing an interview with the creator of the "Freebird" heckle, and yet he goes on an elitist rampage when someone says it to him.

[afrojayjay]

That's a fucked up situation.

[lixechan]

what an awesome tshirt.

[jbilotta]

I love how Bill tells a story.

[ANIM0SI7Y]

God, I can only imagine how terrible that must've been while tripping =[

[poolcaty1]

is this in 1994?

[BAnders2319]

Sounds like my kind of club!

[TomMSTie]

@BAnders2319 You frighten me.

[rongravy]

that's a great worst gig.

[CoolerKing37]

Cool dude.

[gruelin1]

best worst gig story ever

[romka4567]

Damn i wonder how i would feel like trippin and seeing guns holy shit worst bad trip ever :[

[TheConciseStatement]

It's disturbing how desensitised that waitress was to the violence, according to Bill.

[198d891]

Such a great storyteller.
