I've got the officially released DVDs, the Sane Man video and stuff but has anyone come across any other shows available worth tracking down?
I'm in a kinda cynical mood. I need some more inspiration from Bill while I fill my hate hump.

He's a great comedian though, there's no doubt.
I also like Denis Leary who is a tad more psychotic than Hicks.

Gah, every time I mention Denis Leary on here I get the same reply.
He is very similar, and based a lot of his act on Hicks, yes, but he is different. Hicks is pretty laid back for the most part, where as Leary is full of energy, with his screaming abuse acting like a ted loon.
I like them both.

Hmm, you need to watch more Hicks then. He's one angry man. I particularly remember his tirade against pop music ("PLAY FROM YOUR F*****G HEEAAAARRRRRRTT!") and discussing what he'd like to do to non-smokers. Angry angry angry.
Loki, I take it you've got all the recent CD releases that came out last year? Flying Saucer tour, Dangerous, Arizona Bay and the like? They're not exactly rare and a lot of stuff is repeated, but they're worth getting.
Lenny Bruce - there's someone I've never listened to before. He any good? From the same school of comedy, I'm led to believe?

Got this last night, thanks. I've heard it on CD before but it really is worth seeing. A truly bizarre mixture of righteous fury and self-pitying depression. Kinda impressive in his misanthropy though. "Hilter was just an underachiever... etc."

Yeah, got the CDs. I think one of the video bootlegs I got was actually the recording on one of those CDs. Well worth watching though. Let me know next time you'll pop in and I'll sort you out ;) Did you ever get the Sane Man video, that's worth seeing - some of his earlier material.
And I've always meant to check out Lenny Bruce too, not got round to it yet though.
