@Dr_Feelgoood212 -- seen the Mötley Crüe film? Just watched it. As these things go it's not bad.

Gotta say, I did not see that coming

His cars were like Hot Wheels 1:1 scale

I think I assembled the Revell Munster-mobile kit. E"BD"Ross's models (Surfite, Beatnik Bandit, Tweedy Pie, Road Agent, Mysterion and Outlaw) as well. Used to win trophies for my model cars when I was a kid. (woo-hoo)

Oh, they're dicks and idiots, with the possible exception of Mars, but they don't try to gloss it over.

Plan 9 did a tune called Mysterion- about the car- during my time with them, it's on the "A Tonic of Pufferfish" cd...
Yeah I agree, the Batmobile was the sh!tz!

And Rob Zombie did Dragula and the car does feature in the video if not the lyrics. And Liz Phair did a song Batmobile (no batmobile in the video).

The batmobile is cool, but I would rather have the monkeemobile or the dragula.

 

[PillO]

Never willingly watch those -- have still seen the odd five minutes here and there.

Yes, the Kat probably watches the Bachelor...

"Odd five minutes"-painfully accurate.

Damn. Liz is getting popular around here.

Unlike 'Bohemian Rhapsody', the usual feel good Hollywood tripe.

The truth is usually too hard for the general public. Hell, I don't like it sometimes either, sometimes it's like an ill-fitting suit I hardly recognize.

 

[Gaolee]

Yes - George Barris ... the culturally important Barris.

What's with the weird looking pink person in that photo? She's not a good, healthy green.

That's a regrettable odd five minutes. Sorry to hear you were subjected to that.

Oh, how unCanadian of you to be so cruel! But, beware, everything from Oz really is trying to kill you.

You'd think being able to hold a tune would be a minimum for people putting themselves forward. Suppose those interminable telly singing competitions are evidence to the contrary.

There’s a lot more to singing with a real rock band that people don’t realize until they try. Understanding song structure, timing, hearing musical cues, and being able to work in a loud musical environment are a few things they often have no clue about.

Roth's Beatnik Bandit was always my favorite. I remember building that model as a kid (and then a week later blowing it up with a fire cracker).

There were so many cool custom hot rods back then. Of the TV show bunch I gotta go with Drag-ula...

Why am I not surprised to read this?

 

[Engle]

As a kid I remember seeing graffiti on a bus stop that read:
“Who the F@[¥ is Mott the Hoople?”
I thought it was a funny phrase. And I had no idea. Turns out they were pretty cool:

Ya think the fella on the right with the white Bird and big boots was an influence on me?

Yah, the Monkeemobile is the sh--z. Just seeing the pic I posted reminded me of how awesome it is. TV shows just don't do that anymore. Maybe the last was the Cowsills bus...
