Yes really, we've finally got our hands on the tiny tight-denimed man of Melbourne rock and will be counting down his top 5 rooting songs tonight. Also witness the verbal stylings of guest co-host DJ Fantapants, drumming dynamo from Digger and the Pussycats, Kamikaze Trio and the Escape Committee.
Fingers crossed that someone involved will 'pull a Whitehead'.
Best of the Brat, 10pm - 12am Tuesdays 102.7fm Triple R etc.
Can he sing his hit single
Everybody Hates That Jerk
?
Oh, bwian.
Still the best looking guy in the factory?
I predict another depraved wang party.
This thread title disturbs me! I preferred "Rooting the Strokes" - mmmmmmmmmmm....
One can only dream, mondotopless.
Ask him about Oz rock karaoke at the Tote hollyc. He was the MC. I think he'd had enough bourbons that night to root anything. God love 'im.
Is this going to be another Paully Shore moment?
Ask him what it was like to make a cameo on Last Man Standing & how awesome did he really think the writing was? ;p
I will ask him both of those things. Which will, fingers crossed, lead to a 'Pauly Shore moment'.
I'm pretty sure he went to 'Aquinas' in Ringwood for a bit back in the 80's.
Ask him about that.
he went to high school in his 20s???
ask him whats its like to have an 'x' in one's name.
And if he ever says "Hi i'm Brian Mansex"
But thats probably the stupidest idea i've ever heard so don't ask him on second thoughts.
You're truly a mystery wrapped up in an enigma, Kev.
Ask him if he really liked comic books, and who his favourite X-men character was.
just say Brian mansex really fast so it sounds like mannix.
Archbishop Mansex.
Hey, is he related to Bwian?
late 20's in fact.
Ask him to say I Love Roger Rabbit
hollyc, please ask about Houseboat Horror and ask him why?
isn't Brian Mannix in his 40s?
are you telling me there is another Brian Mannix?
he was born in 1961
Ask him if he remembers when a 14 year old girl bought his house at auction. That was my cousin
SO MANY WEIRD QUESTIONS.
Can't I just ask him about his doodle?
Ask him if he remembers me laughing and patting him on the head calling him a wee fella when I bought him a pot at the Burvale 10 years ago.... classy
ood, is yr avatar what i think it is?

Countdown magazine June 85. Q & A from Alison in QLD.
Q How much do you weigh & what is your height?
A I weigh 8 1/4 stone and I am taller than Angry Anderson but shorter than Doc Neeson.
Q What is the thing you wear around your neck? Ive only seen one photo out of billions where you've been without it.
A The thing around my neck is scarf or neckerchief. I have several of them. They hide the scars on my neck from where I tried to hang myself when I was 15 (ha ha).
Q Do you always wear those skin tight pants?
A No I only wear the skin tight pants when we are performing live.
Q Where did you get the idea for your song Everybody Wants to Work? Is it relating to you somehow ? (Not that I'm saying you're lazy or anything).
A It was originally written as Everybody Wants To Dance until a friend suggested we change it to Work. The song doesnt relate to anyone specifically, the whole point is that its a song for everyone.
Is he joking about hanging himself? That seems an awfully dark answer for such a cheery little gent.
Manno!!!

''Ask him about Oz rock karaoke at the Tote hollyc. He was the MC. I think he'd had enough bourbons that night to root anything. God love 'im.''
I enjoyed that show SO much. And I have a photo of me and La Mannix.
I've seen that 'chook' gag before and after but it always cracks me up.
Performing at AFL Finals. It's True
Precious memories.
Good grief.
