Rock And Roll Is A Savage Animal

Ok... which of you fuckers isn't watching VH1's Supergroup?

Well, up until two weeks ago, I'd be one of those fuckers... but now I'm hooked, dammit. Granted, it's an easy premise to piss on. Five aging rock stars shoved together into a "supergroup" to see if they can hit it big. I mean... two weeks ago, I would say "How could I watch a fucking show starring Sebastian Bach?"

But now?

"How could I NOT watch a fucking show starring Sebastian Fucking Bach?!"

The man has turned into an aged rock diva before our very eyes and I'm loving every moment of it. My favorite quote?

"A name like Skid Row doesn't come along every fucking day."

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Last week's ep was based on the battle to name the band. For some reason [gee, I wonder why], they decided the original name of the band they had picked, Fist, no longer flew for them. Let's forget that they had given the name to the marketing people who had busted their ass to come up with concept art which... was quite frankly... ranging from embarassing to deeply disturbing. One concept looked better fit for a gay fetish mag than for a rock album cover.

Not... that... I'd know.

Ahem.

Back on point.

If you missed Supergroup last Sunday, you missed sixty minutes of Sebastian Bach telling anyone and everyone that SAVAGE ANIMAL was the perfect name for the band because a] it "rolled off his tongue", b] because he's a savage animal, c] because they are all savage animals, and most importantly, d] "ROCK AND ROLL IS A SAVAGE ANIMAL! GRRRRRRARRRRRGH!"

Oh... and you also missed him convincing his wife to pose nude with porn star and fellow Supergroup member's wife Tera Patrick just for shits and giggles which allowed Sebastian to channel his inner-Austin Powers in a photo shoot segment.

All we needed were for his moans and groans to be followed with a "And I'm spent" and the world would have ended in one cataclysmic global killing money shot.

And I'm spent. Stay tuned, kids.
