The fact that we live in a world where Bill Hicks dies of cancer and Dennis Leary goes on living... Have some taste God.

leary's delivery ruins the material even more, even WITH the fact that he stole it all. It's like watching an irish chipmunk high on cocaine scream about the apocalypse while running in circles with a plastic bag on his head.

ofcourse both are funny, he wouldnt steal them if they sucked now, would he ?

[Kris Ross]

Yes, Leary stole large chunks of Bill's material. Bill was a genius but his brash delivery just didnt connect with American audiences. I give Leary credit though. I think his performance was very good on No Cure. I grew up listening to that record. Its very difficult to perform the way Bill and Denis did, for some reason Denis was able to connect. The fast MTV rants surely helped but give him credit, he's a good performer.Denis is talented but Hicks is a fucking legend and history will agree

God, Denis Leary's act is just cringeworthy to watch.The fact that he managed to turn Bill Hicks material into something absolutely laughable is beyond me.

...What an obnoxious asshole.

Also, if you're going to rip off somebody's act you can at least add something to it to make it a little better. Leary is one of the worst ever.

leary sucks... so annoying and not funny

[maluorno]

i always thought Leary's act was pretty much Hicks without all the stuff that made you think.

[j dada]

I knew there was more reason for my dislike of leary than his being a boston irsihman.

I mean I didn't think it was all xenophobia

He's a thieving hack.

[mark alan G.]

Leary is one of the least talented sacks of shit to walk the face of this earth. Thieving faggot.

[WashingtonHammerTime]

Notice how after Bill died is when Denis Leary started to suck.
