Cherub Rock
Rocket
BC: Hello! Hi. Welcome to the rock show. Thank you so very much for coming. Can you hear anything? (crowd cheers) Are you just responding to the general sound of loudness? (crowd cheers) Ahhh.
Disarm
> Today
BC: You're not tired yet, are you? I'm sure those Blind Melon guys jammed your asses off. Those Blind Melon boys. Alright. Time to deliver the metal.
Quiet
I Am One
(BC midsong: All I ever wanted was everything. All I ever wanted was everything. All I ever wanted was everything and all I got was shit! Nothing can be taken from me that hasn’t already been taken! Nothing can be stripped from me that hasn’t already been taken. Mmmm-ow! Hoooo-owwwwww! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! And what have you got?! Nothing! Just because you have feelings does not mean you can feel anything at all. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. I got the motherfuckin’ blues! (Iha plays blues riff) No no no no no! (growl) (band stops) And the starship has landed. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Nothing. Nothing. Nothing! (band starts again) Nothing. Nothing. Nothing!!!!)
BC: Thank you very much. Hey Laz, put on the lights! Hey, all you crazy motherfuckers in the back! What the fuck are you doin' here? Hi.
Iha: Hi, heh heh heh.
BC: We're from Illinois.
Iha: Um, thanks for throwin' the shoes.
BC: And in Illinois, we do not throw shoes like idiots. Fuck you too, man. Fuck you and fuck you...and especially, fuck you!
Iha: Boy, this is just like an MTV video, everybody moshing, everybody moshing and throwing shoes.
BC: Yeah, just like MTV. Here's a song from Sleepless in Seattle.
Drown
> Hummer
Geek U.S.A.
(BC alt last line: I fuckin’ love the U.S.A.!)
(sound like mic stand being kicked over)
BC: Heh.
Iha: Great.
Soma
Siva
Iha: Laz, put the fuckin' lights up, let’s see those evil hands! Evil hands, people!
BC: Heh heh, thank you very much.
Iha: Heh, thank you very much, we'd like to thank Ronnie James Dio for that. What are you people doing? It's very cold. We’re sorry if we play very –- we play very rusty when we’re cold. But we try.
Starla
BC: Thank you, goodnight!
Iha: Goodnight.
BC: Bless your wicked hearts.
[encore break]
BC: Thanks, thanks, thanks. Thanks! Thanks even to you fucking assholes who are leaving!
Iha: Ach!
BC: Hey, hey...let’s all say a nice fuck you to everyone who's leaving. (screaming) Fuck you!!
Iha: (beatboxing) Fuck you, (beatboxing), fuck you, yeah. Normally, during one of our shows, I do this schtick comedy--
BC: No, you know, but now I have--
Iha: Dot dot dot dot–fuckin' too many of you people so I can't do a joke, so...uh, we'll just rock for you, heh heh.
BC: You know.... (Southern accent) “You know, you know I gotta get home early 'cause I got work tomorrow and uh...you know, they'll –- they’ll be mad at me at the uh, at the Pizza Hut if I’m not there on time, 'cause uh...I've been smokin' too much dope and I keep gettin' to work late, so uh, I better leave early. I better leave early so I can get to my car 'cause it's gonna be a long ride home, you know what I'm sayin’?” (normal voice) So bless you fuckers for stayin', thank you!
