I could give 4 jerks of your moms left tit about Mikey Farrell....I never said shit about him did I? I don't give a f***ity f*** who he played for before.
By the way, Deano sucks because: he plays drums for Good Charlotte, they're about as "punk" as Sum 41 and Avirl Levigne are.
In other words dicksmack, you lower yourself as a musician in working with these f***in shit people. Macy gray has about as much f***in talent as the crack in my dogs ass......so that's not saying much.
By the way, ever wonder....why do these people leave Morrissey to join other bands? Probably because Morrissey figured out what's been painfully obvious for months: they suck almost as much cock as your mom does & they're shitty. if they were any good? they'd still be with his PIMPship?
