(drum intro to Stellar begins)
BC: Good evening, thank you very much. My name is Billy, heh heh. I’m your friend. At least I’ll pretend to be your friend. We hope you have a good time tonight. Love thy neighbor. Do unto others as you’d have done unto thyself. Alright.
Stellar
BC: Like to bring out my friend, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Mr. Meltdown. Heh heh. Let’s all just laugh.
Perfect (Billy acoustic w/Jimmy tambourine)
Lily
BC: We have some new songs out. Not that you would know it. We have a new EP of four songs out called American Gothic. While some of you go to the bathroom, while some of you go to the bar, those of you who are listening, this is a song called The Rose March.
The Rose March
Today
> Tarantula
> Stand Inside Your Love
> Ava Adore
BC: Thank you! I wrote this next song when I was a young man. Many moons ago, I was a young man. Does anyone speak English? Alright. No. I’m sorry I don’t speak...Dutchese. I’m sorry. Anyway, I’ll stop speaking English. I’m just gonna speak the language of love to you now, love, love, love. Yes.
Drown
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
unknown (tease) (Billy solo acoustic)
BC: Thank you. You know, there was a time...there was a time when people believed in music...and thought music could change the world. They uh...yeah. That was a long time ago. That was a long time ago. Just look at my country, no one believes in anything. Except death, war, blood, oil...money. So I’m here to represent all the bad things in my country. Just in case you don’t get enough. I came all this way so--to remind you...what’s wrong with America. I’m the devil’s agent. And I got the blues. I got the “can’t find no weed in Amsterdam” blues. But now that I’m grown up, I’m an entertainer, I’m a professional entertainer, I’m here to entertain you. I’m not here to challenge you, I’m not here to provoke you, those days are done, I’m here to entertain you and now I’m gonna entertain you some more.
