You would think he was Eric Clapton or John Lennon....being so famous to play at someone's wedding at such a high bidding cost. Proves that you can get anything on ebay.

I question his status as a "remarkable artist" based on one album, oh, and the never ending plugging/advertising/promotion, of said album, that has been out for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages...!

Do you think that after this Rice Cakes will end up doing the music for Adam Sandler's 'The Wedding Singer 2' ?
I'll tell you one thing, if that is the music they want at their wedding then the marriage is probably doomed. 
Which leads me onto the following question.
If you could have any act in the world play at your wedding, who would it be ? |

Guns N Roses, circa early 90's, when they did the use your illusions stuff. That'd make my mam cry for all the wrong reasons....

Guns N Roses would be a spectacularly bad choice for a wedding band, nothing to do with the music or ofending the in-laws, its just that judging by the November Rain video the bride wouldn't live past the honeymoon! |

Yep, was thinking that myself. It did inspire me to consider setting up a "Buy Binokular a Maserati Quattroporte Just Like the one Bono has" fund. Just gotta think of a believable terminal illness to get a few sympathy votes... |

You know, if you got Bono to deliver a key note speech on the subject you would be away in a hack.
"Pleease uhh Mr. huh Blair and huhh Mr. Brown, we gotta euugh buy Binokular a uhh Maserati. Heyuyah !"
There could even be a....charity single, "Oh Bono / Won't you buy me / A Maserati Quattroporte"
Outside, its America huh yeuh huh aw agh huh |

holy sh1t that is mad. instead, why not surprise your girlie with a trip to beeeoootiful ireland and catch a gig while you're here? whatever price you pay a tout for front row surely would be cheaper than having to fly him out (in premier class??) and pay him to perform which according to our friend is "not cheap" - i hope, no pray, that the price is put up on e-bay (we have a sweepstake running here)...
damien rice should do it free - there's a cheap-ass fly-on-the-wall rockumentary in there somewhere i reckon.

You know, thats such a good idea, you should send that in as a proposal to the Irish Film Board, TG4, RTE. It could be the Irish version of 'Some Kind of Monster' or 'Busted America' |

Well I wanted Survivor but they broke up years ago...
Seriously though, I just wouldnt ask 'em to play that song. And If Axl had a problem with that...I'd cap 'im!

If i had to pick someone, i would get Adam Sandler in the same blue suit (from the wedding singer) to sing the song at the end of the film - grow old with you. Great song.
