i didnt see it live, but somewhere on youtube is him doing an impersonation of a black woman while telling the audience an anecdote.
he ranted at my show about the live action portrayals of batman and said the only good one was michael keaton and if you liked christian bale you were dumb. then he counted in the next song and said "1-2-fuck robert pattinson"
Everybody loves The Backseat...and it's easy to see why. "And if you never let me go/Well, I will never let you down" might be my all time favorite lyric from them

brian followed me on there and we’d chat occasionally before he left the site and i got suspended for posting ITYSL lol
I genuinely would be so afraid of talking to him. I’ve talked to Benny a few times and he was always super cool, even for a Nets fan.
I took a selfie with Brian after a show once, then went home and found an interview where he talked about how much he hates being asked to take pictures.
Brian and I set up a whole afterparty for one of their tour stops for the reunion tour. Unbelievably nice and humble dude
Yeah I met Brian outside the vic before their show in 2010 and he was super cool and nice even though I was like nervously blabbering at him.
My friends and I walked from the hotel to the boardwalk with Ian in New Jersey in 2018. My friend Tim talked to Ian the entire time, when we parted ways we asked Tim if he knew who that was and he said "no idea but what a great guy".
