I know it's a slow news day and I'm a grumpy old man, but it's not like he's a megastar such as H out of Steps or the guy second from the left in the Backstreet Boys. I'd struggle to pick him out of a lineup featuring a tub of guacamole and a game of Whac-a-Mole to be honest. Yet there he is, lead story everywhere. So, on behalf of Paul Bearer and Sir Creep, may I just say .... Who?! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 15, 2023 I never liked that Billy song - the story was sophomoric. But hey. Hitchin a Ride was a solid song but wasn’t noticed until Vanity Fair’s (admittedly better) version. This, however, was a good song from this forgotten band.
